Disney's Model Behavior demands a lot of most viewers. First there's the premise--that a typical tortured teenager could pull off trading places with a hot teen supermodel for a week based solely on a passing resemblance. And then there are the characters. Who's going to buy Party of Five's exceptionally pretty Maggie Lawson as class geek Alex Burrows, whose best friend lovingly describes her as a fellow dweebette? Or N Sync's Justin Timberlake as Jason Sharp, a real sweetheart of a guy who's trying to scrape together dough for grad school as the fashion industry's globetrotting pretty boy of the moment? Tweens, of course. While everybody else is putting his wallet away, kids from 8 to 13--Timberlake's gazillion girl groupies, especially--will be transfixed. This is completely wholesome stuff--Alex's parents are picture-perfect, family-values-promoting suburbanites, and even Kathie Lee Gifford, overbearing stage mom to supermodel Janine Adams (Lawson, with looser, swingier hair and no glasses), shows a softer, more considerate side by film's end. So do the scheming life swappers (surprise, surprise), who, after setting in motion a tsunami of confusion and heartbreak, work the grass-is-greener way of thinking out of their systems. The message--be yourself--is one that just might take with the sort of sweet, impressionable youths who can suspend disbelief long enough to lose themselves in this movie. --Tammy La Gorce

 Loves it June 12, 2008
Yes it was a cute movie!! I'd like to own it ! So bring it to DVD!!!!!!!
Awesome! May 14, 2008
I really enjoyed this movie. Altogether, it's not bad -- nowhere half as bad as some people claim. Very interesting version of "The Prince and the Pauper", with a modern New York City twist. It's cool to see Janine and Alex try to live each other's lives, which produces very entertaining results. It's especially cool to see Justin Timberlake in there. I sure wish they had given him more screen time, but then again, he's not the central character.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, I recommend that you do. I know a lot of people think this is a crummy movie, but hey, not everyone likes the same things. We all have different tastes. We all have our likes, and our dislikes. I suggest you watch this movie (all the way) at least once before you make your final opinion.

I thought it was great! It was cute, and made me cry, even though the story line was not all that believable or realistic, who wants to watch a movie that resembles real life? I may as well be watching my own neighbours. Fabulous job!

This is a very entertaining movie with fun characters and a good storyline. Alex and Janine are similar to the characters played by Mary-Kate and Ashley in multiple movies. One is a wall flower and day dreamer, while the other is outgoing and not afraid to sya what's on her mind. It is interesting to watch the two adusting to each other's lifestyles. I also discovered that Justin Timberlake is a very good actor! Why isn't he in more movies? Anyway, the other actors are well-cast, and play their parts well. The school snob got on my nerves, and Janine's organizer/slave made me want to smile. I was very surprised to see that this movie is buyable! But I'd rather just watch it when it comes on the Disney Channel. When it does come on, I warn you, DON'T TURN IT ON OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN IT OFF UNTIL THE END!

Justin Timberlake in his very first movie..He was still at nsync when he made this movie for disney.In this movie he proves that hes not just a pretty boy who knows how to sing but he knows how to act too..well considering singers who went to act...only a few of them survived..This is actually a pretty good disney movie...recomended for the young fans and those who are young at heart as well..
