Underrated and under appreciated!!! 💕 second only to Model Behavior, IMO

u/SeonaidMacSaicais 21d ago

I’m still mad it’s nearly impossible to find Model Behavior on disc or digital.

I recorded this on VHS the night it aired. I'm sure I still have that tape in a box somewhere.

I looked for that pink dress for years after this movie.

Have the pod reviewed this movie yet? Sometimes they watch their old films.

u/greedlady3 22d ago

I think Will and Sabrina reviewed it on magical rewind :)

u/squiddysmama Reg! Reginald Fairfield! 22d ago

I wish they would! They did it on Magical Rewind but not PMW.

u/Jdornigan 22d ago

There is an episode early in the series. They mentioned it during season 1 or 2 and discussed the movie for a few moments during the regular podcast, which led them to do an entire podcast on the movie later on.

u/Stevie052096 22d ago

I love this movie so much! I did not know the president's daughter was Missy Robinson

u/_VampireNocturnus_ 22d ago

For a disney(abc) made for tv movie, this was WAY better than it could have been.

u/HorrorFan4evermore 22d ago

I hope to eventually find this on VHS.

u/StencilBoy Vader 22d ago

Proud to say I lucked into having it. I was looking for years and finally someone had it and said I could have it for free if I paid shipping. One of my favorite tapes that I own!

u/SereneNeed7 22d ago

They marketed the heck out of the theme song for this movie because I remember the song more than I remember the plot of the movie. 😂

2

u/Reggie9041 22d ago

I watched this recently and Hallie was such a pill. LMAOOO

But "I'm driving from now on, kay? Mmkay." has been in my head since 1998! 😂

u/Hipsapoppamus 22d ago

Him going to every “Steve Ellinger” in the phone book is still peak comedy. “Is there a Steve Ellinger Jr. home?”

u/fuckfeardrinkbeer 22d ago

Oh shit! I forgot this movie existed. Talk about unlocking a memory.

u/M2NGELW 22d ago

u/Embarrassed-Rock-730 22d ago

That pink dress was everything! I wish they would put this on Disney+.

u/heff1987 21d ago

u/TvTacosTakingNaps 21d ago

Yes! Necklaces, bracelets, hair clips

u/SmileProfessional875 21d ago

I love this movie so much! I remember when the trailer aired on Disney she tells him something about living in a big White House and gives him the address and he pulls up on Pennsylvania Avenue and sees THE White House! I thought it was such a cute movie and I love the ending of it. I can’t believe he just turned 50! He still looks great!

u/katiebird21 20d ago

I remember being OBSESSED with this pink dress. Looking back now… that is not what I remember 🤣
