Zapped

About This Movie

So, 'Zapped' is this fun little mix of comedy and family vibes, directed by Peter DeLuise. You’ve got Zoey, a dancer who’s used to a pretty controlled life, but then she has to deal with the chaos of her new step-dad and three step-brothers. The premise takes a quirky turn when she finds this dog-training app that, well, lets her boss around the boys. It’s light-hearted and a bit silly, but what I find interesting is how it plays with control and the messiness of blending families. The performances are solid for a TV movie, and it has that distinct 2010s vibe—sort of a nostalgic charm without overdoing it. The pacing’s breezy enough, making it easy to watch.
