Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

Caitlin McNair Very very very interesting. Father gets dad-napped, kids chase after the wannabe cops around town in order to save the girl.I found halfway through the movie that "dad-napped" is a play-on word. Cause "kid-napped" would imply that kids get kid-napped...but in the case of this film, one of the paternal fathers of one of the stars (Emily O.) is dad-napped.The movie however was poorly filmed, it reminded me of a short tube clip but what more can you expect from a low budget Disney movie? I felt the 'family' connection. They should have come up with a song.This film remind me of a beautiful mind, in that is showed a real portrayal of a person with schizophrenia. Can somebody say Oscars? (winky face) I laughed, I cried, I even ate my heart.

Gordon-11 This film is about a teenage girl whose father is the creator of the popular Trip Zoome man."Dadknapped" is a squeaky clean movie for children and teenagers. The script is rather lame at first, especially the annoyingly juvenile and irresponsible father who keeps immersing himself in a fantasy world. No wonder his daughter is so fed up with him! Towards the second half of the movie, when the elements for adults come in, it gets substantially better. Though the nonsense persists, the emotional subplot really strikes a chord with the viewers, because the bond between Mr Morris and Melissa is so real.Overall, the plot and the humour is silly and lame, but because of this "Dadknapped" is fun to watch.

kalkan4 After seeing several months of promotions for this movie on The Disney Channel with the kids, I must say I found this to be one of the worst Disney movies ever. I would describe it as a bizarre combination of Misery and the campy Batman series of the late 1960's.I have to admit to actually enjoying some of the movies produced for this TV Channel, but this one I was really disappointed in, considering Disney's build-up to the premier. I was hoping to see a better performance from Emily Osment, as I think she has great potential.There's lot's of colorful flying "splooge" that Disney must assume kids (still) like these days, even though it's been done ad nauseam, and the ending is completely ludicrous.But, like others have said, you can't expect too much from Disney.
