It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Two step brothers one being a nerd and the other a popular, cool, musician. They are very different but end up being the best of brothers. They also have to deal with their younger sister Megan who always makes their life miserable. She gets them in trouble and just scares them. As much as i like Drake Bell in here i honestly believe that Josh Peck brings most of the humor out of this show but also when it comes to dramatic moments he is the one who brings even more life into it although i have to give credit to Miranda Cosgrove as Megan Parker she is one of the creepiest little girls of all time i truly believe that for a kids TV show she was pretty much the boss of them.

This show is a classic, especially for being a Nickelodeon show. Let's face it, Nick has some great shows (this is one), but Nick can also have some pretty bad ones. This outshines every. Single. One, and in all ways. It's funny and heartfelt. Even coming back to it after many years of having not watched it, it's still funny to me, while other shows I go back to and don't even crack a smile. This show has you laughing 90% of the time, and that's definitely a positive. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's charming and has a blend of great characters. Even characters that are just side- characters and only appear in one episode are great. Drake is your classic high-school guy who's the most popular there. And Josh is your classic awkward high-schooler. You find them getting into many different situations that span from them working their way through a long line of a roller coaster to them being hunted down by America's Most Wanted Criminal. And that's what makes the show so special. For it's time, it was revolutionary among other Nick shows, and nothing can replicate it. iCarly came close. It had the same mix of characters and humor, but there's just something about these two that makes it more personal. You see their relationship develop over the time of the show. They start out by hating each other, but then, by the end, they're best friends. You also see their personalities develop. Drake becomes much less macho and more down-to-earth and heartfelt, and Jost becomes less awkward and weird. iCarly just didn't seem to replicate that. At the beginning of that show, the main 3 characters were all friends and it just kind of stayed that way, and they didn't really change. And that's also why Drake & Josh is a modern marvel. It's not afraid to make fun of itself, and tiny details that you think may not be important may then become super important in a hilariously funny way. This show is great, and I recommend anyone who hasn't watched it before to go watch it. Even though it's not on Nickelodeon's website anymore, you can find every episode on other websites for free or you can get it off of Amazon.

Drake & Josh, just the name itself giving you a heart warmed feeling about these two goof balls!I have a few compliments for this show from my point of view.They are as follows:1) Drake Parker and Josh Nichols, played by the hilarious Drake Bell and Josh Peck, are absolutely dimwitted in a good, belly laughing type way!2) The music of some episodes, is just, awesome! I even liked the fact one episode even had Drake play the theme song in it!3) The comedic timing of the characters is just, quote unquote from Inspector Gadget, "Wowzers!" I could go on with this list, but I don't think I should! One of the show's episodes, just gets me laughing so hard it splits my sides! Okay, TWO episodes. It makes me feel like a child doing pranks again when I see Megan's pranks on the Drake and Josh dynamic duo!All in all, I give this show an ultra, shiny, and brilliantly rare 10 out of 10. PS-IF you watch any live action show, I recommend The Amanda Show or Drake and Josh! Peace out!

I accidentally came across DRAKE AND JOSH during it's initial run. The first ep I actually saw was Smart Girl, the one where Drake tried to impress a super-smart girl. And from that ep, I was hooked! This was one of the early eps of the show, around the 10th or 11th, as Season 1 only had a handful of eps, probably due to not knowing if the show would make it another season. But last it did! For 4 seasons and this show had re-defined Nickelodeon.As I was watching the first-run episodes, I didn't even realize how GOOD this show really was! Stepbrothers Drake Parker (played by Drake Bell) and Josh Nichols (played by Josh Peck)are like a very young modern-day Laurel and Hardy, with Drake the straight (and dumb!) man and Josh the smart, big lovable oaf. The chemistry between Bell and Peck was infectious. These young men were real teenagers playing real (and funny) teens and that couldn't have been easy to do. Their interactions are still very enjoyable upon re-watch. Peck, in particular, stood out by giving his character affectations from his stand-up routine, but both excelled at physical comedy. I kind of think Bell is a bit under-appreciated because he was the straight man to Peck's boisterous personality, but Bell's subtle comedy is a big reason it all comes together. The two excelled at playing off of each other. Also, Bell is a guitarist and singer irl and they used this on the show as Drake was an aspiring musician with his own teen band. He actually sings the theme song.As great as Drake and Josh were, they might not even be my 2 favorite characters! Because there were 2 other scene-stealing girls on the show. First, there was the young, incredibly talented Miranda Cosgrove, who played the boys' younger sister Megan Parker. And Megan was pure evil! Megan delighted in torturing her older brothers and was wise beyond her years. Cosgrove imbibed Megan with real wit and personality, very rare for such a young girl, as Megan wasn't much older than a tot when the show started! Cosgrove has her own show now, the absurdly popular iCarly, but I think she was a more fun character as Megan on this show. The other great female was Mindy Crenshaw, played by talented Alison Scagliotti, who was both the thorn in Josh's side AND ended up his girlfriend! It's weird that Mindy was only in about 15% of the show's episodes, yet left such a lasting impression on the viewers! Jonathan Goldstein and Nancy Sullivan commendably and ably played Drake, Josh, and Megan's parents, but were not much more than bit players. Other awesome minor characters included Helen and Crazy Steve (who worked at the local movie theater where Josh worked and the boys hung out at), and the other comedy duo on the show, lovable nerds Eric and Craig. The wonderful Julia Duffy (from Newhart) was a standout as the boys' teacher Miss Hayfer in a handful of eps, too! The best episode to me was the Season 2 finale Honor Council, where Drake was accused of pulling a prank on Miss Hayfer and Josh defended Drake, while Mindy represented Miss Hayfer. It was a hoot start to finish! Other great eps are the aforementioned Smart Girl, Drew and Jerry, Helen's Surgery, The Peruvian Puff Pepper, Mindy's Back, Foam Finger, The Wedding, and The Storm.Wonderful teen comedy that helped re-define Nick!
