What You Need To Know:

ZOEY 102 is a follow-up movie to a Nickelodeon high school comedy series, ZOEY 101. About 14 years after the series occurred, the main cast reunites for a wedding. The event forces Zoey, the maid of honor, to interact with the best man, her old high school boyfriend, Chase. The wedding takes place on the same day as the finale for Zoey’s Reality TV program. So, Zoey must juggle her wedding responsibilities and romantic troubles with the demands of her high-pressure job.

In ZOEY 102, Zoey, Chase and their peanut gallery of friends undergo a succession of contrived, awkward situations in a trite narrative. The movie promotes a Romantic worldview where it’s acceptable to be 30 and still hung up on things that happened when you were 17. This drivel and its ludicrous messages typify many modern romantic comedy movies, which rarely break their formula into genuinely original storytelling. People who’ve never seen a romantic comedy before might find ZOEY 102 watchable. The movie has brief foul language, heavy drinking when the main character becomes stressed and a reference to same-sex marriage.
