The plot was cute and believable up until the end. Basically, this movie was focused on the constant tension between the twins, AKA Cody's constant know-it-all attitude and Zack's slacker, let's-disrupt-everything personality. In this movie, it comes to a boil when Zack kills Cody's summer internship opportunity and Cody declares "We may be twins, but we aren't brothers". Zack finds a new internship, though: Once focused on the relationship between twins. At this internship, they eat this "magic fruit" that allows them to feel what the other is feeling, mentally and physically, which inevitably fixes their relationship.
Of course.
This is where things get weird: The scientist running the entire thing has a master plan of making a set of twins have one mind, and then making each set of twins able to be controlled by one mind. It ends up with the Sprouse twins randomly being able to read each others minds, the other twins coming after them, zombie-like, while chanting "Get Zack and Cody", and then them being strapped to these tables that supposedly causes their minds to merge into one.
While this is happening, the other kids from the ship and the scientist who controlled Cody's original internship somehow manage to sneak into the lab without any of the zombie twins stopping them, and we find out that the evil scientist and the other internship scientist are twins! And the mad scientist had these weird skin masks that allowed him to change his face at will! Before we find this out, though, the machine is turned out and Zack and Cody's "souls" come out of them and have an epic floating fight about who's brain should be dominant. Supposedly, their fighting breaks the machine and the scientists figure out their problems and Bailey lassos the mad scientist and Mr. Mosbey shows up just in time with the police to save everyone.
And they live happily ever after, the end.
One thing I have to give the Sprouse twins is that they did a good job with the ridiculous plot they were given. Even with the stupid lines and odd antics and just overall weirdness, their characters were believable. Cringe-worth, but believable.
6/10, for the good beginning and good acting.
Of course.
