I like the TV Show Drake & Josh. It's a funny TV Show that can definitely keep us entertained and laughing. It's cool how they made a TV movie off of the TV show, with a different entertaining action plot with the characters Drake & Josh. This movie by all means is a great movie. If you're a fan of the TV show, then it is definitely for you. The good news about this movie, is if you look it up online, you'll see how it was the highest rated program on all of cable the week it aired, and it had 5.8 million viewers. It aired on January 6, 2006, I remember watching some of it on TV that day. I was new to Drake and Josh, and staying at a hotel with my parents. I saw this on TV and was entertained, while my parents were watching something else in the other room, wanting me to watch something else with them. I can't believe that will be 9 years ago next month. Well, this movie has a cool action plot with bad guys in it, that Drake & Josh have to face. We see them having the life in Hollywood California, which is a cool place to be. Even Tony Hawk has his name mentioned in this movie. This movie even shows a couple of things that seem inconsistent with the show, though not like it makes it bad. For example, in the TV show the family doesn't seem poor, but definitely aren't rich either. While in this movie, they seem rich and able to get everything they want. Especially Megan, an 11 year old girl being able to stay at the nicest hotel and have a limo take her around places, a little like Home Alone 2. It would seem like they couldn't afford that on the show. If you're a fan of Drake & Josh, then this movie definitely is for you. It's nice to know how well received this movie has been among critics and fans, even when it aired on TV. While I'm guessing that almost everybody reading this review that's watched Drake and Josh has seen the movie, where even if I do write a spoiler, it wouldn't be a spoiler if you saw the movie, I still won't write a spoiler, and hopefully nothing I wrote so far counts as one. But, seriously if you haven't seen the movie, but watch Drake & Josh, definitely see it. It comes on TV every once in awhile where you can TiVo it, and this is definitely a funny movie that will leave you feeling happy at the end. I give it a 10/10.

After reading the reviews for this movie, it seems like the main reason it has been negatively reviewed is due to the unrealistic aspects of the movie. I'll admit, there are a lot of dumb moments. How does Megan get on the wrong plane when her ticket should have stopped her? How does she book such an expensive room for so long by herself? Why are the thugs so stupid? All of these things are silly, but in the end it doesn't really matter. Drake and Josh has never been a serious show, so don't take it seriously.Having said that, the movie itself is actually pretty good. It feels more like a long episode than a movie, but that's what often happens with movies based on TV shows. The jokes are in the traditional Drake and Josh style, with the noticeable lack of a laugh track in the background. The only complaint I have about the humor is that Josh doesn't behave like he normally does, which does take away from the fun a bit. He seems too serious and doesn't make as many sarcastic comments about Drake here, nor does he do any of his, as one reviewer put, "Josh- gasms." The story is adequate. It's obvious that the focus was on the jokes and not the story, and considering that the audience is composed of kids and young teenagers, this was probably a good idea. There are some good moments in it aside from the humor. The fight scenes are OK but nothing too thrilling, and the car chases are pretty good by TV sitcom standards. There are a few moments where I actually felt legitimately feel good and bad for Drake and Josh, which is rare for me.Overall, a pretty solid comedy if you look past it's obvious errors.

I didn't like the weird camera angles, but I got used to it after a while. Basically, the two step brothers but Megan on the wrong flight, which is sorta weird since security has supposedly "stepped up a notch" at airports. But then its a movie. And if it was realistic, Drake and Josh would've got shot while they were being kidnapped.Seriously.Me and my brother were however cracking up at how the foreign cab driver kept looking at Megan...11 year old girl...all alone in limo..eh? eh? That aside, the movie was sort of all about Drake, with Josh thrown in for some comedy. DRAKE has the band. DRAKE gets to make out with 2 hot girls on the plane. DRAKE gets a shot on TRL. DRAKE makes it big. DRAKE gets another girl at the end of the movie(with Josh, of course.) I guess they could've just taken out Josh...but it wouldn't of been funny.Anyways, it was sorta good, sorta boring at times, but still very good.6/10

By Manny Castro After almost two years on the air, Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh are such a popular show that it already inspired a movie. However, unlike Kenan & Kel (the popular Nick duo from the '90s), Drake & Josh only get a TV movie and for good reasons I may add. In the TV movie Drake Parker (Drake Bell) is upset because his band manager is booking his band in bad gigs. One of the bad gigs involves the band playing for a retirement home. Whoa! This manager must really hate the band, huh? But, his troubles will soon be solved because his step-brother Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) offers his services as his new band manager. Drake resists at first, but decides to give him a shot since Josh is a loser and FINALLY realizes when he has to write a school paper about his greatest adventure. In the meantime, however, their parents go on a ten-day cruise. Before they leave they instruct Drake and Josh to take their sister, Megan (Miranda Cosgrove), on time to the airport, so she doesn't miss her plane ride to Denver. I know what you're asking, "what parent lets their eleven-year-old child travel alone?" Nonetheless, Drake and Josh obey and take their sister to the airport. Then, when they arrive they are dumb enough to put Megan on the wrong plane. Oops! Now, Drake and Josh have to take a flight to Los Angeles to rescue their sister. At L.A. Josh bumps into a Talent Booker for MTV's TRL in the restroom. The booker had a talent cancel on him the day before an L.A. show. This guy is so desperate that he allows Drake to perform on the show. However, the story doesn't end there because Drake and Josh SOMEHOW get involved with some criminals who've stolen a U.S. currency machine and now must stop them. WOW! That's a lot for a 90-minute TV movie. "Good Burger" didn't have this much sub-plots! While I like the whole aspect of Drake getting his big brake, I think the rest of the movie was really stupid and contributes nothing to the history of the show. Viewers of the Drake & Josh program know that the show is a sitcom about the wacky adventures of two step-brothers. So, why does the film turn into some kind of crime-thriller? Ask Executive Producer Dan Schneider. Yeah, he's the same guy who wrote and produced the Kenan & Kel TV shows and movies. Hence all my references. Anyway, I honestly thought this movie had potential if it would have tried to contribute to the history of the show. On the show Drake's mother marries Josh's father, yet we NEVER learn ANYTHING about Drake's dad and Josh's mother. Wouldn't it had been better if the film tried to answer that big question? Well, maybe Mr. Schneider has that planned for the sequel.
