Zapped (2014)
Not good for Zendaya's career
Don't look at the 6.0 ranking this movie gets in IMDb. Just because a hundred of fans scored a 10 for this one, doesn't make it a good movie. After leaving Shake it Up, I thought that Zendaya would give a really good turn to her career, especially after watching her getting' silver in DWTS. Unfortunately, making this absurd collection of shots that some people calls movie was a terrible decision. "Zapped" has some ingredients that only the very bad comedies have: nasty and filthy boys, fart jokes, overacted queen bee, and I stop counting. I don't know what Zendaya was thinking, but maybe she was kinda cheated before signing the contract. She is talented, she's got everything, she's young and not desperate at all to make things like this. It was enough with three years of Shake it Up. I hope I'll never watch Zendaya in a Disney production for TV. Never again.
Shake It Up (2010)
Cancel it up!
This shows is downright awful. Everybody knows that Disney is worried in producing quantity instead of quality, but "Shake it up" crosses the line. The shows has two main problems that Disney hasn't been able to resolve. First problem is obvious: Neither Bella Thorne nor Zendaya could dance to save their lives. Every time there's a difficult routine to be performed in the show, they are swept aside to make room for real dancers. As early as in episode 1.2, "Meatball it up", Bella Thorne confess herself. "They got talent and abilities but we have... nothing again". This gives a show a serious lack of credibility. And the second problem is, of course, the incredibly weak scripts. Just by listening to things like "I could just eat these guys up.. you know, if I ate" shows what Disney considers "funny". I don't know what these people have in mind running a third season of a show that has no remedy at all. Listen, people, I love dancing shows. I'd really would like that someday Zendaya or Bella learn to dance. But, be honest, it will never happen... because Disney doesn't care at all.
