No
matter what the circumstances surrounding their fictional fate, the
fact remains that by simply doing a Google search or logging onto
Wikipedia, the answer would quickly and easily be revealed without
making outrageous claims which could potentially cause temporary grief
for their friends and family members - or incriminate any native
Amazonian with a penchant for dressing as a bear of inhumane
canabalistic tendencies.
The good news is, for now at least,
that the brothers Sprouse (Dylan & Cole) are fully in tact and are
slowly taking over the airwaves of the Disney Channel with a Saturday
morning sitcom which could quite happily sit on the shelf with other
classics like Calafornia Dreams, USA High or Hang Time.
Sure, there is nothing amazingly innovative about The Suite Life,
but it would kind of be a disapointment if it were. Shows like this
need to deliver something familiar, fairly cheesy and using as many
brightly coloured sets as humanly possible. And it's for this reason, Suite Life is a pretty fine addition to this fairly limited genre (which, arguably started with Saved By The Bell).
The
premise is fairly simple. Two cheeky identical twins live in Boston's
totally cool Tipton Hotel, where Zack and Cody - the hottest twins on
television - are living the "Suite Life"! There is of course an uptight
concierge and a spunky female counterpart (High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale) to keep the wackiness in check - making for the sort of hijinx which has made That's So Raven a hit amongst the littlies.
This
first volume release includes the infamous Jesse McCartney and Zac
Efron episodes, which are both pieces of cross promotion that are about
as a subtle as a car in a James Bond movie. But it works, and the eps
do zoom along at a fairly brisk pace.
But most importantly, it will entertain the kids - and that's just about all you can really ask for.
EXTRAS
A
few extras here, including a "Bonus Episode" - which can hardly be
considered an extra when you would kind of expect it to be included on
the feature part of the disc in the first place. But it's there - and
it certainly makes you feel like you're getting more for your dollar.
There
is also an interview with the Sprouse boys themselves. Tiny blonde kids
who we await to see in twenty years time, if only to discover which one
OD's in an alleyway first.
Conclusion:
Movie 70% Extras: 60%
