This revival of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 lacks the setting that made the show a hit in the first place.

Even if there’s a ceiling to how much can be achieved here, returning fans wanting a reminder of their youths will get just enough of what they came for.

What little does work... is undone by the reboot’s preservation of the original’s guiltless tone.

This lively movie is a fun revival story that's sure to put a smile on the faces of the original show's fans. Zoey 102 transports viewers back to Southern California, where they get to catch up with lots of original cast members.
