Disney's Model Behavior demands a lot of most viewers. First there's the premise--that a typical tortured teenager could pull off trading places with a hot teen supermodel for a week based solely on a passing resemblance. And then there are the characters. Who's going to buy Party of Five's exceptionally pretty Maggie Lawson as class geek Alex Burrows, whose best friend lovingly describes her as a fellow dweebette? Or N Sync's Justin Timberlake as Jason Sharp, a real sweetheart of a guy who's trying to scrape together dough for grad school as the fashion industry's globetrotting pretty boy of the moment? Tweens, of course. While everybody else is putting his wallet away, kids from 8 to 13--Timberlake's gazillion girl groupies, especially--will be transfixed. This is completely wholesome stuff--Alex's parents are picture-perfect, family-values-promoting suburbanites, and even Kathie Lee Gifford, overbearing stage mom to supermodel Janine Adams (Lawson, with looser, swingier hair and no glasses), shows a softer, more considerate side by film's end. So do the scheming life swappers (surprise, surprise), who, after setting in motion a tsunami of confusion and heartbreak, work the grass-is-greener way of thinking out of their systems. The message--be yourself--is one that just might take with the sort of sweet, impressionable youths who can suspend disbelief long enough to lose themselves in this movie. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars Who's Who?, January 24, 2005
This review is from: Model Behavior (2000) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bliss out and remember being young..., February 16, 2001
By Samantha (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two weeks of A wonderful life, December 29, 2000
A Kid's Review
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.
