    Should be called Justin Timberlakes first movie...

    I, like mostly everyone, only watched it because Justin Timberlake was in it. Did ANYONE watch it for any other reason? But, it turned out to be a really cute movie! People who like movies like She's All That, and Clueless, will like this one. It's about a girl who switches identities with a super model, and they trade lives and everything. Justin plays a male super model. Sorry to say he isn't that much of an actor...But if you are a fan of his, I bet you wont care! It's a cute movie, so I think you should watch it!

    Harmless fun.

    Right from the opening credits, you know exactly what sort of movie this is going to be. A teen "comedy/romance/drama" featuring a nerdy girl as the main character (screaming for a makeover) in lust with the cutest guy in school. We all know she's gonna make it in the end but ... how??? Stay tuned and all will be revealed. This movie isn't fantastic but it's innocuous and simple. Young teenage girls will love it - the fantasy of trading places, Justin Timberlake, cute guys (well, one, Eric), high school histrionics, school dances, nice clothes, pesky little brothers etc etc. It's a Disney movie -- what more can I say. Don't expect Oscar-winning stuff, it's light-hearted fluff. Don't think, just watch. It's really not that bad. 6/10

    how can you like this?

    pretty much what happens is the unoriginal plot that two girls who look alike switch places because they hate their lives. i'm usually pretty loose w/ disney movies because i know to expect them to be awful, but to actually say this is good and that the acting is good or even decent is completely idiotic. this movie was SO BAD! and none of these people including Maggie whatever can act.. it was so bad. the only reason to watch this would be for Justin Timberlake - not that he's good, he's just Justin Timberlake and cool. anyway, this movie was absolutely terrible and i didn't even watch the whole thing and i hate it this much! the ending sucked also. it was really predictable.

    My opinion

    Model Behavior, another Disney movie. I thought the plot was a little un-imaginative and it's been done. The acting was not as good as it could have been. Justin Timberlake aka 1/5 of Nsync, could use a couple more acting classes. Not to put him down, but he just seemed to try a little too hard, and made him sound it. Maggie Lawson did a great job playing to characters. Kathy Lee Gifford, she's everywhere now. I though she played a good/mean mom. She does a good pushy mom. Her son, umm.. can't act. Jesse Nilsson, he's great, good actor. Over All it was an ok movie. Probably wouldn't have watched if there weren't cute guys in it.

    Like Chocolate

    The phraise "Guilty Pleasure," comes to mind right off the bat. A fun quirky little movie, Model Behavior is like chocolate: you eat it up, even if its not that good. Justin Timberlake is an awful actor, but that's ok. The lead actress is pretty convincing as two different people, adding different personalities to the charactors. However they both seem to slip to easily into the other person's lifestyles. All this considered, if you just want to watch a movie and not really have to think about it, then Model Behavior is right for you. It may not be the best movie, but it is fun and energenic and you can watch it without cringing that much. Again, the only thing the WILL make you cringe is JT.

      Alex Burroughs: You really think we can pull this off.

      Janine Adams: As easily as an angora sweater during a quick change.
