The last Friday of every month at 8/7 Central, a new Disney Channel Original Movie premiered. Holy Mackerel these movies sucked so good. Actually let me rephrase that. Between 1997 and 2001, the movies were actually good. Brink! (obviously), Halloweentown, Zenon, Horse Sense, Johnny Tsunami, Smart House (get it together PAT!!), and The Ultimate Christmas Present (Brenda Song's coming out party) all came out in this timeframe. Then came January 2002 and Disney Channel released "Double-Teamed." As you can clearly tell from the photo above, these girls look NOTHING alike. But for some reason literally everybody in the movie got these two mixed up. Like I'm pretty sure their parents at one point were like "Hey Heather, wait Heidi, no I mean Heather, wait who are you again?" Can you say unfuckingrealistic? I mean even that girl pretending she was a guy in Motocrossed and everyone believing it was more realistic than that. Another unrealistic thing about this movie was the basketball coach. Fast forward to 4:36:Telling girls to tackle each other. Letting them know they're in a gym and not at a museum. Informing them of their status as human beings and not statues. Absolutely brilliant. Lebron James would easily have 9 rings right now if this were his coach. Leave it to a Disney Channel Original Movie trying to convince me that this guy coached a high school girl's basketball team. Uhhh hello, this guy is an NBA and Olympic caliber coach. What is he doing coaching a high school's girls team? Disney Channel Original movies, always so unrealistic.
PS: Check out the girl coach shimmying at 4:40.
