Funny--Good Triumphs Over Sewage

Devon Werkheiser plays the very Ned-Like Noland Byrd/Shredderman, in a school that is very much like James K. Polk Middle School. The only missing links in this story are Moze and Cookie. Susie's character is played by a young lady who looks just like Susie, but is not the same person.

The whole thing seems to be part of a Devon Werkheiser promo weekend in which he is joined by Cookie and Moze, but Susie and the Shredderman female costar is absent (HMM). For some reason, Amanda Cosgrove and some other Nick-Stars join the "party." Cookie has a few lines in the canned viewing party, but Moze and Amanda keep silent. Must be a contractual thing.

Overall, without spoiling the plot, this was a funny movie without being overly sappy. It is somewhat predictable--any Nick or Diz teen movie is--but the plot skips through unscathed by blurred lines, but full of holes.

Good movie for teens or those of us who work with them for a living.
