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.

Allow me to ask some rhetorical questions:-Why would ANY airport allow an 11 year-old on a plane WITHOUT CHECKING THEIR TICKET?-Don't you think Megan is a little too smart to get on the wrong plane?-Why would the most PRESTIGIOUS hotel in Los Angeles allow a single 11 year-old to stay in the PRESIDENTIAL SUITE? Without checking her credit card? Do the words FRAUDULENT CHARGES ring a bell?-How was Megan allowed to stay in the hotel's PRESIDENTIAL SUITE, which costs a good $15,000 a night (or more) for over a week? Gee, that's over $100,000, plus ROOM SERVICE. Her mom and dad are going to be ticked...-How did a couple of thugs outwit ARMED GUARDS to get a money printing press? And just to top it all off, it wasn't really a very funny movie...

This movie is quite good and it does not have the cheesiness that the show has even though it is good but the movie did a better job that's for sure this is truly the type of classic show that a movie should be made out of the show it's funny mostly an enjoyable adventurous movie it has lots of good qualities and the story by Dan Schneider and Stephen Molaro is quite creatively decided which helped the movie a lot of scenes have a lot of fun packed in them and it might have been a good movie also if it came out in the theatres it would be big or just get one-sided opinions it is that type of movie but i loved it and the characters (Drake Bell and Josh Peck) delivered a hilarious but engaging perforamnce that will be loved by fans great film with a cast unique to TV

Normally, I am a big fan of Drake & Josh. I was excited about watching them for a whole hour and a half, but this movie was just extremely bland. It moved very slow and was not as funny as the television episodes. Josh's character did not do as many "Josh-isms" as he does in the show, and the humor was not the same. And when I was a junior in high school, my parents would have never left me at home for 10 days with me and just a sibling. And in the beginning when the parents leave, and the boys have to drop Megan off at the airport, the time reads at night, but it is daylight outside, which was an extremely careless error. Overall, I was looking forward to watching this movie, but I was disappointed.
