I admit, I told myself this was not one i'd see in theaters. Partially becuz I am 18, and therefore embarrassed that I watch a TV show from Disney. SO I didn't. I rented it, at full new release price, instead of the 99 cent rental i'd planned on. And it was worth it. The plot, though slightly unrealistic, is entertaining, and the reactions of the characters are mainly realistic. And I love the Lizzie/Gordo moments, especially the end.
