They went from mediocre (Descendants), to horrible (Descendants 2), to absolutely intolerable (ZOMBIES), to just... Freaky Friday. OMG YES I AGREE. The other day, Freaky Friday and Zombies came on. True, the movies try to spread a positive message, but in my opinion, the movies really sucked. There was barely much setting, the acting wasn't the best, you could tell it was totally fake, and the zombies costumes? You could tell it was just face paint and hair dye. Also, a lot of them didn't have anything special about their singing, and their dancing stank. It was like the movies were made out of laziness and not much effort was put in to making them interesting for the viewers. And descendants? Ugh. Don't even get me started about them. Exactly!! ZOMBIES honestly felt like a cheap mix of Hairspray and Romeo and Juliet. Except for a select few parts, it wasn't very easy to watch, either. What made High School Musical enjoyable was that it didn't feel like Troy and Gabriella only dated for a few days. They met over something they both liked to do as a secret hobby, and it brought them closer together. In ZOMBIES, Zed and Addison just... meet. Sure, they're both facing difficulties with acceptance in society (different societies, but societies nonetheless), but that's it. There's nothing that they both like to share with each other. So, it feels like their relationship is very rushed during its 2-day timespan, which is the same problem the original Romeo and Juliet had.

ZOMBIES is actually based off an older movie called "Zombies and Cheerleaders". I haven't seen it for myself, but I looked it up. Unsurprisingly, the reviews are much better than those of the Disney Channel remake.

Freaky Friday is okay. It felt like it was trying too hard to become an off-Broadway musical. The music (except for a couple songs towards the end that are actually terrible) sounds very much Broadway-stereotypical, but the lyrics are written horribly. It sounds like the actors are making the words up as they go along, which makes the viewer nervous while listening to the songs, because it feels as though they could mess up. The only character I really like from this movie is Tori, the girl helping with the wedding arrangements. She's hilarious in nearly every scene she's in, and her OCD is somewhat adorable for her character.
