Dr. Drakken has an evil new plot for world domination, but his ultimate success depends upon finding out KP's weakness which may involve a new hottie at Middleton High School named Eric, who suddenly sparks feelings in Ron about Kim that resemble much more than friendship. To make matters worse, Bueno Nacho, Ron's favorite fast food chain has turned sour on him by bombarding him with little Devils

When it came to this movie in particular, it seems as though this would have been the finale to Kim Possible's TV run as a cartoon. Turns out fans of the series protested to the mouse house and demanded another season. Talk about dedication. What makes this final TV movie of baby sitter turned World Saver Kim Possible more enjoyable than Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time (2003) or any other feature is that it nicely ties together the loose ends for Kim Possible in her academic career and personal life. Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time (2003) just had Possible and Stoppable correcting the altered past caused by Dr. Drakken and his goonies playing with the magic time monkey idol. It was good but did not move anything forward, just fixing the past. Here, Dr. Drakken gets even more personal than before to disrupt Kim's livelihood. The best part is Dr. Drakken actually having the upperhand on everybody for a while.When a new boy named Eric comes to Kim's school, she begins to fall for him. This results in Ron Stoppable becoming jealous, thus having himself reassess his feelings for her. There really isn't much to say about what isn't good about this TV feature. The only thing that's worthy of a critiquing is that the running time could have been longer so Kim Possible could have went out with a bang. Then again, perhaps it was also kept short because fans were demanding another season after this, so it's difficult to say where it really should've concluded. Everything else manages to entertain with ease. All the voice actors return for their respective roles and give enjoyable performances too. Christy Carlson Romano and Will Friedle voicing the comedic action duo still have the skills to do their characters justice.Nancy Cartwright as Rufus also is another fun role. Even the minor characters return; Wade (Tahj Mowry), Monique (Raven-Symoné), Ned, the Bueno Natcho Cashier (Eddie Deezen) and even Maurice LaMarche (best known as The Brain) plays a character. And of course Shego (Nicole Sullivan) and Dr. Drakken (John DiMaggio) return too as the villain duo that just can't seem to ever get it right when it comes to world conquest. As a side note, April Winchell voices a news reporter and it's hilarious to hear the way she speaks for this character. As a story, Disney writers Robert Schooley and Mark McCorkle made good use of what happens when you take people for granted. Ron Stoppable was so used to being around Kim Possible that he didn't realize what would happen if another guy entered Kim's life that took more precedence over him. It is a very common issue that friend zoned guys come in contact with. Viewers should also have fun watching Stoppable notice that Dr. Drakken still doesn't know his name after so long.As an animation feature, everything is done accordingly. Since this isn't an official film feature, the animation wasn't polished because it still looks like it belonged to the cartoon. It's nothing to get fussy over though. The action and music also satisfy as usual. Director Steve Loter, who has worked the Kim Possible TV series and the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV series definitely knows how to make the action fun. There's plenty of explosions, fight sequences and other things that not every cartoon now a days displays for younger audiences. Lastly, the music provided by TV composer Adam Berry is fine. Berry continues to play the Kim Possible theme and even includes "the naked mole rat" number for Rufus. Any scene in between is used appropriately too. Not much else to say other than a fun time.Except for not being longer than 70 minutes for Kim Possible's last TV movie, all the other components work like they have been. The voice- actors, action animation, music and comedy continues to entertain fans of the series.

This is my favorite Kim Possible film of the two. A Sitch In Time was good too, but this is tops. Kim and Ron are getting ready for the prom dance at their school, Middleton High. Drakken and Shego cook up a plan to take over the world using cybertronics and a toy design which they stole from a Japanese toy maker, Nakasumi-san, and Kim's dad. Kim falls for a boy named Eric who has just enrolled at the school leaving Ron to look for another date for the prom. Meanwhile 'Lil Diablo toys run amok at Bueno Nacho, Ron's Favorite restaurant. Can Kim and Ron foil Drakken's latest take-over-the-world plan and find dates for the prom? You'll just have to watch and find out!The story is really good and believable, and some of the lines are really funny. My favorite line was Shego saying "Ya'know, one of these days we reeeeeeally need to get that hair dryer away from her." This film is truly "So the drama"!

"Kim Possible: So The Drama" contains some of the best references to James Bond in recent memory, and in terms of parodying is right up there with "Austin Powers". This is apparent right after the first couple of minutes, which follows the pattern that Bond movies have used since "From Russia With Love": a short opening scene followed by a title sequence (Though I must say, I'm not a big fan of the "Call Me Beep Me" remix featured. I wish Disney would look outside itself for music).Another tribute to 007 is found in Drakken's lair when Shego returns with only the jacket of the man that she was supposed to capture. "You have failed me for the last time," is a direct quote from Ernst Stavro Blofeld, leader of SPECTRE and Bond's arch-nemesis (which makes it all the more fitting that Drakken is the one who says it). The ensuing scene is a reference to the numerous Q-Labs scenes in Bond movies, which entail carrying on a conversation while the equipment in the background is being tested and often malfunctioning.Kim's laser lipstick alludes to Bond's laser watch in "Goldeneye." In fact, Wade, who supplies the gadgets, is Kim's version of Bond's Q.The reference that I defy anyone to have noticed prior to reading this is that the suit that Drakken wears after taking over Bueno Nacho is a sly nod to the one worn by Jimmy (not James) Dean as Willard Whyte in "Diamonds Are Forever." In fact, the Bueno Nacho HQ looks strikingly similar to the casino in that movie.The numerous homages to James Bond are not surprising. The premise of the show itself, in fact, leads one to wonder if series creators Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle created the show as an answer to the question: "What if James Bond were a teenage girl?"

There wasn't much action in the movie. You could easily tell what the outcome of a particular battle would be. It was too obvious. And nothing's too good to be true, so the syntho dude was totally obvioused-out (or is it just me). Also, I totally think the Kim + Ron thing is wrong. You don't date your best friend, that's why they're your best friend. How are the new after-the-movie-series going to turn out? Will Kim and Ron start making out everywhere and everything? Not really a good idea. Kim and Ron are a good team, but not really a good boyfriend/girlfriend material kind of team. Overall, it didn't meet my expectations. In fact, it didn't meet any of them.
