WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

SnoopyStyle Melissa Morris (Emily Osment) wants to get the attention of her preoccupied best selling author father Neil (George Newbern) during their vacation. She is constantly talking to her father hero character Tripp Zoome (Jonathan Keltz). Then Neil gets kidnapped by his super fans Wheeze (David Henrie), Andre (Moises Arias), and Sheldon (Denzel Whitaker). Next she and her dad gets kidnapped by brothers Maurice (Phill Lewis) and Skunk (Charles Halford) who want Neil to fix their book. There is also hotel manager Merv (Jason Earles).It's a cheap Disney production with their stars of the moment. There is a lot of complaining from the daughter Melissa. And her imaginary conversations are kind of annoying. In fact, everybody is annoying to some degree. The dad isn't that appealing either. After they reunite, the father daughter relationship could develop better. But nothing could really save this mess.

rabid_monkey202 Wow. Okay, I'm a huge Disney Channel fan, have been for more than 15 years, but this movie was just . . . wow. What exactly were they trying to accomplish here? Read It and Weep was basically a flop, so what do they do? They make another movie about a schizophrenic girl who talks to an imaginary literary character. The only difference is that this time, the girl's dad created the character. As if the movie itself wasn't boring enough (and totally lacking any basis for the relationships) it was actually painful to watch Melissa talk to an imaginary person over and over, being very aware the whole time that she's NUTS. And what's up with her dad saying she IS Trip Zoome? He told her before she was boring and NOT in his books. Now she's the main character? Yeah, that's a cop out. Don't waste your time. The only reason I didn't give this a 1 is because there is enough money in the world to make me watch it again, but not to like it.

dabrauer Keeping in mind that this is a Disney Channel Original Movie, and was not intended as Oscar material, I found this movie very enjoyable.The plot was actually fairly interesting, several clever twists made it one of the more refreshing made-for-TV, "family" films that I've seen. Aside from the plot, I found the acting in this film better than most of its genre. Although occasionally slapstick, particularly toward the end (what can you expect, it is a DCOM), the acting was generally believable in a crazy/fun sort of way. There was great chemistry between some of the characters as well. I really liked the performances by Osment, Henrie, and Arias.My least favorite part of this movie was probably just before the end (during the "climax") when the action moved from "expectedly because it's Disney Channel slapstick" to "tortuously unbelievably slapstick." Thankfully, it only lasted a few minutes.If you're a cynic or a movie critic you'll probably hate this movie. However, if you're looking for a fun, clean, family-friendly movie that teaches some good lessons without being too heavy-handed, and doesn't completely insult your intelligence, you might just enjoy "Dadnapped."

bkoganbing If you think kidnapping even when its for fun from some of your fans is a great subject for a comedy than you'll probably like Dadnapped. You also I'm sure liked Cop Rock when it was inflicted on the American public.The Magic Kingdom got together several of its stars from its television series lineup like Jason Earles, Moises Arias, Emily Osment, David Henrie and Phill Lewis and got them together for Dadnapped. The plot concerns Osment and her estranged father George Newbern. He writes a popular series of books about a teen superhero played in imaginary sequences by Jonathan Keltz. Which consumes all his time, so the two decide for a father/daughter vacation. But he has to stop at a fan convention first, something like the one that Tim Allen and the rest of the cast had to go in Galaxy Quest.Three young fans, Henrie, Arias, and Denzel Whitaker kidnap their favorite author as a gag. But then some others kidnap him from them for real. They want his help on a literary masterpiece. At least they keep Newbern and Osment mobile and not bed bound like Kathy Bates did to poor James Caan.I don't expect much from the Disney Studios, sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised. And sometimes I'm left aghast like I was here. Hopefully some talented people will still have careers after Dadnapped has been forgotten.
