Zoey 101, one of Nickelodeon’s many shows aimed at teens, is premiering its first TV movie. The movie is scheduled to air this Friday, March 10 at 8:00PM (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. The DVD will be released on March 14 and is available on Amazon.
The movie is called Spring Break-Up. Logan, the rich self-centered snob, invites the group to his daddy’s mansion. But knowing Logan, he always has something up his sleeve. And so he does.
Without telling his friends, he signed them up for a game show called “Gender Defenders.” It’s a reality show that Logan’s father was making where the guys compete against the girls. The teams are told to pick team captains. The girls select Zoey and the guys select Chase, this proves to be very important later.
Malcolm Reese, Logan’s dad and the producer, gives everyone cell phone-like products as gifts. Michael, who has been trying to convince Chase to confess his love to Zoey, text messages Chase telling him now is his chance. Chase types back saying that he would not tell Zoey he loves her because it might hurt their friendship. Later, it’s revealed that Chase accidentally sent the message to none other than Zoey.
I really liked the B plot, or sub-story, of the TV movie. Quinn, the science geek, is trying to create an energy drink with fewer chemicals and even more energy than the usual drinks. She explains that it is not yet done. She leaves the drink for a minute, thinking that nobody would touch it. Wrong. Dustin, Zoey’s brother, drinks it, claiming it tastes good. He goes on a major sugar high and starts working out on the exercise machines. When on the step climber, he climbs more than 22,000 stairs.
The B plot was funny and gave Paul Butcher (Dustin) a good acting opportunity. It was definitely well-written and performed well. It made the movie more desirable to watch.
One thing I didn’t like was how predictable it was. The commercial currently being shown on Nickelodeon is misleading. (I can’t explain without giving something away so I'll talk about it at the end with the rest of the spoilers.) After starting to watch, I guessed correctly on most of what was going to happen. One thing totally shocked me, but I don't want to give it away.
I watched the movie with my twin sister, Amanda. Usually, I cannot tell you what is going to happen in a show, but when watching it I could tell Amanda, “They are going to lose the challenge and blame the [other team].” I was so right.

I just watched the movie. All in all I liked it but the ending is very upsetting for the person watching it. I really hope the next T.V. show will fulfill some questions I have.
3 - MKOB
I also really liked it but I wished they would have shown it in the T.V. show so she could see instead of his message. Overall I really liked this movie. I hope also the next T.V. show shows what happens and he tells her about his true feelings.

Yea, I agree with MKOB. I think that Chase should of gotten the messege to Zoey. I have to hopes for the next show. I hope that Chase gets to tell Zoey he likes her and also that, and she doesn't reject him. From the show Lola likes Chase I think that she likes Chase too.

a tech mate is really a T-mobile Sidekick. I was just colored for the movie. But the sidekick has all of the features that the techmate does, and it has the same screen and keypad. The only thing different is the color. I just got one. They are $199.99- well worth the money. It has a mp3, a camera, internet, AIM and a phone. Go buy it!! you won't be soryy!

I was really looking forward to watching the movie, because I really hoped that Chase could finally tell Zoey how he feels. But I read that Zoey's phone brakes, and Chase's message doesn't get to her, I was quite dissapointed, but I'll watch it anyway.
