Zoey 102 (2023)
2/10
Too much controversy?

Warning: Spoilers
'Zoey 102' is a movie sequel/reboot of the Nickelodeon original series 'Zoey 101'. This film follows Zoey Brooks, (Jamie Lynn Spears) this time in her 20s, attempting to figure out love and life. As it turns out, Zoey and Chase did not end up in Hawaii during the summer after the events of 'Zoey 101'. In fact they haven't spoken since. However, when close friends Quinn and Logan announce they're getting married. Zoey and Chase find themselves in the wedding party.

Much like many others, I was blinded by nostalgia going into this movie. Wasn't everybody? Having seen the film through. I have some thoughts. Firstly, the movie follows a somewhat predictable plot. Zoey is challenged with juggling two different events that fall on the same day. To much surprise, everything falls apart. Alongside that, there is this strange sub plot of (I kid you not) a murderer on the loose known as the 'Malibu Murderer'. WHAT!?

I can't even begin to explain the messiness of this movie. Not only is the actual movie a bizarre mess. It's not so pretty behind the scenes either. The world of 'Zoey 101' has so much controversy surrounding it. It's a genuine surprise to me that this movie was even made. It's almost as if it was released to make people forget.

Overall, I think I could've done with skipping out on this one!
