First off, this isn't the worse movie i have ever seen, but its definitely not one Im going to go back and watch countless times... I found the plot line to be way too unbelievable: A girl loves Dream Street to a point where it probably should be considered a mental illness, but especially Chris Trousdale (way to conform with almost every other girl who likes Dream Street). So in order to feed her obsession, Debbie and her pseudo-bad ass best friend, Charlotte, decide to buy some Dream Street tickets from a scalper. Charlotte has absolutely no haggling skills.. she stars with $50, then jumps to $200, then to $500. Unfortunately, Debbie and Charlotte ignored the first cardinal rule of ticket scalping, and failed to check the date on the tickets... WRONG DATE DEBBIE! Unfortunately, Charlotte just lost $500 she had in her account for Cosmetology School.
But uh-oh, on the tour bus Chris gets sick and is given way to much medicine, and he gets a little "groggy" and gets behind the wheel of a huge truck, and drives, because thats what people do when they don't want to perform. Luckily for the homely looking, main character, Debbie, Chris inexplicably ends up in her neighborhood; crashing the truck into the front yard of Debbie's stereotype Chinese neighbor, Pat Morita.
So Chris sees a cardboard cutout of himself through Debbie's window, and being so hammered from cough medicine, must think that its him or something... so Christ walks into Debbie's house (lucky for him the front door to her house is open, in the middle of the night!), and wanders up the stairs... Luckily, Chris wanders into the correct room, and hops into bed with Debbie, who doesn't even shift around.
When Debbie wakes up the next morning she looks at her cardboard cutout and says "Good morning baby!" (I guess we can pool Debbie with the girls who make out with the posters of boys in their room), while Christ groggily replies "'Morning Sweetie" and cuddles with Debbie, before she realizes THERE IS A STRANGERS IN HER BED!!!! Then Debbie frantically glances from the boy, to the cardboard cutout, as if she doesn't recognize Chris... Then she calls Charlotte, tells her, goes to school, gets ridiculed by the rich popular people for being a fat loser, and she goes home to bond with Chris, where he decides to stay because he is sick of touring...
Over the course of the next few days, Debbie goes to school, gets made fun of while still being all positive, goes home, avoids doing chores, be with Chris, and that just repeats, while Dream Street songs play every few minutes. Then it turns out Chris loves school, especially math (so the "It Happens Every time" music video lied to us about him struggling with math!), and he goes to school with Debbie, dressed in a ridiculous Stever Urkel outfit. The fact that people don't recognize him is about as ridiculous as the staff at the Daily Planet not recognizing Clark Kent as Superman (a good analogy that is used in this movie, but in a different way).
So after being all profoundly smart in school, giving answers that sound intelligent but aren't actually logical, Christ asks Debbie to prom... in her "annoying beyond believe" voice, Debbie tells Charlotte the good news... Charlotte volunteers to do her hair, and make her look like a model (a plus sized model maybe... I'm sorry that was mean and uncalled for). THEN, like all bad movies, there was a montage!!!! Debbie trying on dresses, Chris trying on tuxes... DAMN! So Chris gets Debbie in a limo, she is dressed in a black and white dress and looks kind of like a prostitute... they go to prom.
The girls at prom think Debbie got a Chris Trousdale look-a-like, and to prove them wrong, Chris goes and changes in his collared, button-down, silk shirt, and his sunglasses (sunglasses in the middle of a dark gym... god i hate that)... BUT THEN, one of the jealous popular girls makes a call, and the people who have been looking for Chris show up, within a matter of seconds (literally, the popular girls left and the people showed up during the same song)... Chris was taken back... So with some help from her brother, Garfield, Debbie and Charlotte go to the concert, and Debbie goes on stage in the middle of a song, and kisses Chris, THE MOVIE ENDS! The movie was kind of unbelievable, and was only mildly entertaining. Throughout the whole movie, you could just tell that Chris thought a lot of himself and was really egocentric... Everything that Debbie and Chris said to each other, and did while joking around, had an underlying sexual tone, just like all of Dream Streets songs (seriously, actually listen to their songs, they are gross... "wanna rock you steady baby...."). Also, aside form the concert sequence and the occasional mention of their names, the other boys from Dream Street weren't there, proving that the other boys' modesty actually balances out Chris's ego!...
But i will admit, the cameos were good... Michael Winslow and Leslie Easterbrook were together, bringing back memories of Police Academy, and Pat Morito, who actually had no significance in this movie, but a humorous relief, made some comment about Daniel-son, which was clever...
Overall, this movie wasn't terrible, but i wouldn't recommend going out of your way to see it... Don't waste money on renting it, but if its playing on TV and you don't have anything else to do, just sit down and watch it...
