This is a very entertaining movie with fun characters and a good storyline. Alex and Janine are similar to the characters played by Mary-Kate and Ashley in multiple movies. One is a wall flower and day dreamer, while the other is outgoing and not afraid to sya what's on her mind. It is interesting to watch the two adusting to each other's lifestyles. I also discovered that Justin Timberlake is a very good actor! Why isn't he in more movies? Anyway, the other actors are well-cast, and play their parts well. The school snob got on my nerves, and Janine's organizer/slave made me want to smile. I was very surprised to see that this movie is buyable! But I'd rather just watch it when it comes on the Disney Channel. When it does come on, I warn you, DON'T TURN IT ON OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN IT OFF UNTIL THE END!

As I watched Model Behavior, I found a fun new way to watch The Prince and the Pauper, through the eyes of two complete different teenagers. With Justin Timberlake, this movie was fun for any teenager to see. The actors were real and easy to relate to and the movie seemed real, especially when the views of real life for different teenagers was added. I would like to see this movie again, if only for the sheer pleasure of it. I really think that this movie would be worth the time to watch, and definitely worth the money to own it, to see it over and over again.

So, I'm an adult that likes this move. Branded a dork forlife, I am. ;)

Anyway, this movie is a cute, fun little thing towatch with your girlfriends when you all need to avoid reality forawhile and want to relive that whole "puppy love" thingagain.

It helps if you take the movie with a grain of salt.You'll laugh (and groan) your way through it, trust me.

The actingis pretty good. It won't be winning anyone an Oscar, but "madefor Disney TV" movies rarely do that. They're never meant to.Justin Timberlake's performance is good and shows that he has a lot oftalent and could do wonders when he's finally able to set aside sometime and work with a truly great script. Maggie Lawson is refreshing,funny, and manages to give both of her characters an extra twist thatmakes them amusing (and not so over the top that you just -can't-suspend that disbelief). The supporting cast does its job at addingmore amusing little elements to the movie that you won't catch thefirst time or two you see it.

To everyone who shunned this movie,called it a "tween" movie, or whatever, lighten up! Be akid again and enjoy the movie for the delightful fluff it is. It'smore fun to be young, anyway.

Yeah, the theme is cheesy, overdone,and has one of those happy endings that makes -everyone- want to groanand hurl things at the TV, but many of the 80's teen flicks that mostof us adults are -still- guilty of watching had the same over-the-tophappy endings. Take it for what it is: A light-hearted movie thatisn't meant to win an Oscar. Get together with some friends, get somedrinks going, pop it in and laugh at the cheesy lines, the sometimes-too- earnest acting, the general "disney-ness" of it all,and all those times you dreamed or -did- that same sort of stuff injr. high/high school. You'll have a blast, trust me.

Side note: Themovie isn't worth [what] Amazon is retailing it at. Try and catch itwhen it's airing on Disney so you can tape it, or search Amazon'smarketplace for discounted copies.

Hey all you Justin fans! This movie is a must see! I loved it so much I watched it over and over again. It's a story where two identical strangers find not only love but a whole new life when they switch places. You'll absolutely drool when you see this. Maggie Lawson who plays the lead will be the next big thing! And you can bet that Justin has an acting career in the future. It's a wonderful story so hurry up and see it! One more thing, Justin looks so adorable in this film so if you love Justin, this movie will definitely satisfy your needs!

This movie, starring N Sync's Justin Timberlake and Party of Five's Maggie Lawson is a wonderful older children-adult movie. It is based on the book, "Alex and Janine, Janine and Alex." It tells the story of Janine, a model who wants to be an ordinary 16-year-old girl, and Alex, a not-so-popular high schooler, who meet and switch places once they realize they look uncannily alike! Then, crazy mishaps happen and Alex falls for a male model (Timberlake)who thinks she actually is Janine. This movie is the best! Maggie Lawson gives an amazing performance. Kathie Lee Gifford and Cody Gifford Co-star.

I've seen this movie about 4 times and I have it taped. It stars NSYNC's Justin Timberlake who is not only a great singer, but a wonderful actor, as he displays in this movie. It's about these 2 girls who look exactly alike and they switch places. When Janine, who is actually Alex, tells her boyfriend (Justin Timberlake) what's going on everything becomes complicated. You'll have to rent or buy the movie to find out what happens. It's really good. I recommend this movie to everybody.

I used to watch this all the time as a kid! Definitely a good movie dealing with teen issues & supermodel hype. I wish Disney would convert this to DVD! This is a really good movie!

Great actors, fun storyline, and good backgrounds. The only time I've liked Justin Timberlake since he went solo was during this movie. He's a great actor! He just might have a better career in acting instead of singing. Though slightly unrealistic at times, this movie had me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. I would highly recommend this movie to any girl!

I've seen this movie about a million times and I absolutely adore it. Justin Timberlake has never looked better and Maggie Lawson and Kathie Lee Gifford are also excellent actors. The movie has a decent plot for a teen to enjoy. It's about two teens, one a model, the other an average teen who switch places and get caught by Alex's little bro. When things start to go wrong the switch turns into a huge disaster.

"Model Behavior" is like a Parent Trap-kind of movie. Two lookalikes switch places for an undetermined amount of time for some cheesy reason. In "Model Behavior" a bullied nerd and a rebellious, gorgeous supermodel (both played by Maggie Lawson) swap places for a week, then put it off for another week till they switch places.

When they switch places, they make their "lives" better. But then, the nerd falls for the pretty boy supermodel (played excellently by Justin Timberlake), who the REAL supermodel hates, and the nerd's brother finds out that his sister is not his sister, but the supermodel, threatens to tell the nerd's parents, leading to a sentimental, yet predictable ending.

The movie is charming, witty, touching, and fun for all ages and BOTH sexes to watch (I'm a teenage guy), with Kathie Lee Gifford as the supermodel's controlling mother, though the recycled "Parent Trap" plot is getting me a little irked. My brother also enjoyed it, too.
