Zoey is a talented dancer whose organized life is rudely disrupted when she moves in with her new step-dad and three step-brothers, until she discovers a dog-training app that can get boys to obey her every command. But she soon learns that it isn't the cure-all she had hoped for.

This Disney movie is about a girl who can manipulate and control boys. I'm sure you can understand why this is a 1/10. I will admit that I'm a girl, but I've been through elementary, middle, high school, and college. None of the boys I've seen acted close to this. The movie is cliche as well. Wacky family, new kid, stereotypical blonde jerk, dance off, etc. I watched this on 7/2/18 on my family TV, I turned it off 20 minutes in. This movie makes boys look like assholes, and idiots. Do what you want, but I recommend you don't watch this crap.

This film tells the story of a high school girl whose life is not going so well, as she has to adapt to having a stepfather and three stepbrothers. She accidentally discovers that her phone has an app that can control males, and she uses it to her advantage.This teen film has just the right jokes for its target audiences. The plot is formulaic but it works. It is a smash between "Mean Girls" and "Step Up", which I enjoyed very much. As a result, I also enjoyed this film as well. Even the enemy looks like Amanda Seyfried! I like the energetic dance moves, the youthful energy and the great songs. The underlying message is very positive as well.

This movie was simply the most sexist, stereotypical and cliché movie of Disney I have ever watched. (Oh, and I watched a ton of Disney Channel Originals.) Me and my two BFF's were very bored while watching this. (The oldest was twelve, the youngest was eleven.) I was texting and the other two were talking about nail polish. And just when Zoey and the hot guy was kissing, I lifted my head, and guess what I saw, the most unrealistic kiss ever! Zendaya is a great actor, but not in this nutcase. The girl who played Taylor wasn't showing any emotion when Zoey's team won. She was just standing there. Just standing. I was shocked. If Walt Disney was alive, he would literally reject the film. But, whoever runs this place now, probably wasn't even caring about what they do here. At least the other movies weren't as SEXIST and STUPID as this. Zendaya was clearly NOT happy about this project, and the other actors just wanted to finish it as fast as possible. Oh, and only one person in our school disliked the movie because She was the only one who tried to watch it. This movie is like a cringe video LeafyIsHere reviews, and I'm pretty sure someone will review this someday and kill their selves over THE CRINGE of this. The only good part, Zendaya was in it.

Zoey Stevens (Zendaya) is an average 16-year-old girl who has just moved in with her mother and 4 other boys. Her brother Adam (Adam DiMarco) is always in a rush due to being captain of the basketball team. The youngest one Ben (William Ainscough) is always getting dirty. The middle child: Zach (Conner Cowie) has a habit of making disgusting mixtures (like Pancake Mix). Their dad: Ted (Alexis Paunovic) is the basketball team's coach who wakes everyone up at 6:45 in the morning to be prepared. When Zoey arrives at her high school, Adam quickly abandons her and she makes a unlikely friendship with Rachel (Chanelle Peloso) who shows her to her class.However, Rachel leads Zoey to the wrong side of the school and she walks in on a science class. She is escorted by Jackson Kale (Spencer Boldman) to the correct room (West 242) and is watched by Taylor Dean (Emilia McCarthy). Later she arrives at dance tryouts however learns that the pancake mix that Zach made is all over her shoes. When Zoey mixes Taylor's dance routine with her own, Taylor shows her up and sends Zoey and Rachel to the J.V. (Junior Varsity) Team. She goes home to find out the family dog, Humphrey, destroyed her room. Her phone later drops into a bathtub of water, gets thrown out the window, slides down a solar panel and lands in Humphrey's food bowl. The phone dries out overnight in a bowl of rice that Zoey's mother recommends. Zoey arrives at dance practice but learns her group is entirely male and dances horribly. Her dog control app malfunctions and gives commands to boys. She uses the app on her team and it works. When the principal sees that the Junior Varsity team is better than the Varsity team, she proposes a challenge: a dance off competition between the J.V. team and the varsity Team. When Jackson walks in and sees Zoey showing Taylor up, he leaves and Zoey chases him down using the app to make him kiss her, not realizing what she had done trying to prove a point. Zoey uses the app on her brothers and stepfather, making them quieter, more focused, cleaner and healthier.When Zoey learns that Adam has college scouts coming to his basketball game, she tries to reverse the app's effects but doesn't know how. The principal schedules the Dance Off for the night of the Basketball Tournament. When Taylor steals Zoey's phone, she tries to find out how Zoey controls boys but fails until Yuki (Louriza Tronco) figures it out. At the game, moments before it starts, Taylor walks in and controls every male in the room. Zoey steps in (and one by one the rest of her family come in) and persuades Taylor to use it on her. At the end Rachel tackles Taylor and the game begins. Zoey figures out how to reverse the app with the word Release, smashes her phone and throws it out, much to Taylor's horror. The basketball game begins and Adam's team wins. The Dance Off begins and as it turns out, the J.V. Team wins with their own creation. At the end it is shown the Zoey and Jackson are dating and Zoey and her step family have finally adjusted to each other. Even though it is not actually shown in the movie, it is commonly believed that after losing the Dance Off, Taylor is suspended.
