PPP is FUN but... Has a Pretty Weird Premise (Movie Reaction) 

Demi and Selena were BFFs since they first started on Barney. This movie was basically just an excuse for them to hang out. Also, despite not being animated, Rosalinda is technically the first Hispanic Disney princess.

Speaking of princes, I hope we get to see you do 'Red, White and Royal Blue'. Yes, it may be cheesy and corny, at times, but it is a very well-done and enjoyable queer rom-com. The chemistry between the leads, in particular, is off the charts! 🧡

this takes place in louisiana and yet there’s not an accent or a black person in sight💀

Homecoming happens in the fall for all high school students. Most American schools (at least in the midwest?) have a parade with their band, clubs, homecoming court etc AND an important sports match AND a dance throughout homecoming week. It is often a little less formal than prom. Prom is in the spring and is usually only available to Seniors (Yr 12) or both Juniors and Seniors. It is usually the most formal dance and often includes a post-prom after party. There is usually at least a King and Queen for this event too. Its a lot...

This is the calmest overthrowing of the monarchy I’ve ever seen. Had time to stop and have a whole conversation with her mom. Must be some really slippery chocolate they were in. Dude, if you think their forces are pathetic, think about the castle 😂 they were done in by that force. Where is palace security?!

There was actually supposed to be a sequel about them traveling the world to save the other princesses. It got canceled for obvious reasons.

Fun fact most of the outside sets were filmed in Puerto Rico. All of the scences in "Costa Luna" were in Ponce, the castle real is named Castillo Serralles. The other locations like most parts of"Lousiana" were also different areas of the island.

always love when the latino character has a name that alludes to their careers. he's a stylist? Mr. Elegante, then

Ed played Zach (the glow kid) in Sky High. Also when her dress got caught, i was like it's a convertible. She could have at least TRIED to reach inside and unlock it.

Selena and Demi were best friends at the time this movie was made and came out, and this was already well-known to fans, which was why it was a big deal. Compared to Miley on Hannah Montana, who played a bit more into the girly fantasy of being a popstar, Selena fit a different niche on Disney Channel in Wizards of Waverly Place. Her character wasn't completely a tomboy and did care about her appearance, but had more of a snarky, edgy vibe to her (also Alex Russo was just a much better written character than Miley Stewart, and WOWP was overall a better written (and acted) show than HM). I think some people would think Miley would be the obvious choice for the role of Rosie here, but aside from how booked and busy she was, her and Selena weren't exactly on great terms (also I can't imagine Miley pulling off this role at all, her talents were always in singing over acting). Ironicially compared to this movie if we look at solo careers, during their Disney Channel era, Demi's music was a lot edgier than Selena's - Demi had a lot more rock influence, while Selena was always a pop girl. And it's funny considering now, Miley also has a much grittier tone to her music compared to Selena or Demi.

In Carters defense the whole situation was handled horribly. She already barely sees her dad and then he comes home and dumps this random girl on her? This girl gets super popular really quickly and the guy carter likes now likes her. She’s a teenage girl - it’s not that out there that she wouldn’t be the happiest 😂 she didn’t handle it the best but it makes sense

Tbf Carter’s dad was handed the responsibility of taking care of Rosa out of nowhere. He wasn’t even supposed to look after her, the agency forced it on him because he’s the only person Rosa trusted. From my knowledge it’s the agencies responsibility to handle fake names, backstory etc. it’s also a Disney film and the fish out of water story wouldn’t have worked if they had everything all planned out. No idea why they were just attacking him (while subtly implying that military men are incompetent beings only fit to follow orders) the whole film.

«They can’t go for five minutes without trying to tell the audience just for how much better living in america is to anywhere else, even if you’re a princess!” 😂

In carter's defense of this plan of replacing Rosie, I would assume the guy would have just taken her after realizing she's not her and then the PPP would have a legit reason to raid and overthrow the dictator because he kidnapped an american child who happens to be the daughter of a federal agent. Or her dad would pull a liam neeson and do everything in his power to get his daughter back and Rosie would still be safe.

My sister and I used to watch this all the time lol Probably because our personalities match the characters so well. But it was also really fun growing up and developing more of a political awareness and watching this with her again lol

I just saw the notification and told my sister the ppp had finally been released and the look i just got💀💀💀

Fun fact: "One in the same" was done by Selena and Demi and the music video used to play on Disney Channel a lot when this movie came out.

Consider this my vote for you to do “Let It Shine” as the next DCOM 🤩🤭

So ready for this...after all this time lmao

25:23 Homecoming typically happens in the fall; this is why you'll usually see a homecoming football game involved in depictions of homecoming festivities (as that's American football season). The homecoming dance is usually open to the entire current student body. Homecoming was/is to celebrate the homecoming of school alumni; alumni will sometimes visit during this time. There's also usually a week's worth of events that happen to celebrate. Sidenote: Look up pictures of something called "southern homecoming mum"~~~ I grew up & live in Louisiana. You shouldn't even really be able to see the girls' dresses at homecoming^.^ Prom happens more towards the end of the school year in like spring and is usually for juniors and/or seniors [some schools will have separate proms for 11th & 12th grade] Though, lower grade students can typically attend if their ticket is purchased by an upperclassman as their date. Prom comes from "promenade", and it's kinda like celebrating the students that are becoming "adults" and moving onto their "adult lives", like a debutante ball. Some people just want to be on prom/homecoming court to help pad their college resume; like it's supposed to say you were well liked by your classmates. My niece, who was on various courts with various titles, put them on her college resume cause her small school only really had a few clubs and like a baseball team; she got a few offers from various colleges. My high school was big enough that each large group, like band, would kinda vote in a representative to court from their group; so court wasn't even always the most typical representation of "popular". P.S. some schools ALSO have a winter dance/formal, Valentine's Day dance, and/or Sadie Hawkins dance~~~ My school also had ROTC which would have a Wing Ding. We also had a Ring Ding dance/party that was when seniors got senior rings!~~~

This movie holds such a special place in my heart-😭😭 Like- yes, it may be… not the best..😀 But that’s what makes it fun to watch-😭😭 And also just childhood memories 💀😭😭 Thoroughly enjoyed this !! 🙌

Homecoming is in the fall and is usually tied to a big football game, Prom is the end of year dance in the spring. Each has a king, queen, and court

lol finally!! I always thought selena was so mean in this movie she plays a mean character so well LOL! Demi was so pretty here too

16:35 I need you guys to know I’m not a stickler for people speaking new languages poorly, but that was comedically bad Spanish, especially from someone of Puerto Rican descent (Demi). She essentially meant to say “Could you show me where the bathroom is, please?” But she said it as “Please where bathroom is?” It’s such a small detail but her speaking different languages was so unnecessary when she speaks them SO badly. Her French later on was pretty tragic too but I don’t speak that as well so 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Just stopping to comment how much I appreciate the Brooklyn 99 reference for Rosa 😂❤

I genuinely enjoy all of these reactions😄 !!! Disney's PPP movie was one of my favorites growing up😆!!! I don't know if they look at any suggestions in the comments, but a few other movies with a similar nature (in my personal opinion) would be, "Aquamarine"🧜🏻‍♀, "A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song"🎶, "Another Cinderella Story"💃🏻, "The Luck of the Irish"🍀, "Ice Princess"⛸, "Invisible Sister"👻, "Fame 2009"🗽, and "Nancy Drew 2007"🔍. I only mean these as suggestions, not hopeful obligations😅. Anyways, another great reaction😁👍🏻.

Woulda been funny if they just arrested the mean girls for blackmail and attempted murder

Ohhhh no, in this household we do NOT tolerate One And The Same slander. It's a classic! It felt so good to see these two Disney stars who were both rising together and who also grew up together singing a fun song abt being friends... I guess that's why I liked the movie tbh 😂😅

Homecoming (at least at my school) is revolved around the last home football game of the fall season. So it happens every year. Alumni tend to come to the game “HOME-coming” and there is a dance that happens as well. There is a homecoming “court” my school had freshman-junior prince and princess and seniors had homecoming king/queen. Prom is solely a senior thing. Kind of an end of high school celebration. some school do have a junior prom as well for juniors (year 11)

Related to your commentary - as loved as the movie Princess Diaries 2 is, one of my major gripes of the film was how pro-monarchy Disney made it. In the book series (admittedly much later than Book 2, as the books didn't just skip several years like the movies did), Mia actually uses a loophole in Genovia's constitution to abolish the monarchy entirely. Her dad (who is still alive in the books) then runs for office and is elected democratically. Disney just ignored all that to make movie Mia a queen, probably because it didn't conflict with the Disney Princess branding that their empire was built on.

0:53 The movie is set there, but they're actually in Puerto Rico

Glad you finally got this one through "customs"!! Thanks, Budz!!

Yes we do homecoming court at the beginning of the school year and then we have prom court at the end of the school year but prom is typically only for graduating seniors. My school however didn’t have a prom court we only had Homecoming court

I don’t know why Rosie didn’t just gaslight the mean girls when they showed her the magazine. Like, ‘you really think if I was a real queen I would be here at your school? Wow, how dumb are you?’

i cant believe i know this movie like line by line, and ive NEVER KNOWN THERE WAS A "ONE YEAR LATER" SCENE. take my PPP card away from me please.

Homecoming is huge in the US. It’s one of those things that tourists experience here and say “it’s like a movie” because it’s like the movies.

homecoming dance is at the beginning of the school year in the fall, kinda goes along with the homecoming football game (the first home game of the year) and they do the whole king and queen election and then prom is near the end of the school in the spring where they also do a king and queen election for that dance too

Interesting that in the princess diaries the married in queen was THE queen for yeeeeears after. Also, Im in Canada so we technically have a monarchy and I know a bunch about both the British as well as other monarchy country families but that's not because I *care*, I just get fascinated by obscure things lol 😂

As a fan of Demi and Selena, this movie was everything when I was a kid ❤😂

1:02:46 this was not filmed the same night as when she first fell in. They planned to hose her down, but she had so much fun the first time, she just jumped back into the pool.

I wanna know how you have a whole country just not marked on any map. Also you can tell they wanted to make this a franchise, they had it all set up for a sitcom or other movies

We had homecoming king and queen AND prom king and queen. Homecoming was in fall and open to all grades, prom only for juniors and seniors. Only seniors would be king/queen (both hoco & prom) but then rest of the grades would make up the court (hoco). And then for both hoco and prom there’d be a junior prince and princess.

So happy all your hard work paid off. Thanks guys! ❤❤❤

I love how you guys went from, "Eh, the dad seems like a cool guy," to "Wow, this dad is a total dumbass!" lol

When a kid is crowned, there’s an adult or group of adults who rule in their place. That’s called a regency.

My school in central Texas had a homecoming, but it was just a football game and the queen was announced at half-time and there was no dance. Probably because it's kinda a small school so there probably wasn't enough money in the budget to fund both a homecoming dance and prom. It's fun though. We would also have a special pep rally for the whole city to come to instead of just the student body, and we have a founder's day festival and parade the day after. Also, I love your reactions, I always get excited when I see that y'all reacted to a movie that I've watched because you are my favorite reactors.

25:40 there is homecoming at the beginning of the school year which is open to all highschool kids usually it’s centered around the “homecoming” football game. Prom is only for juniors and seniors and it’s at the end of the year. Both have kings and queens.

"Por favor, donde esta el bano" is "Please, where is the bathroom" not "Can i was your restroom"

So typically, at American high schools, Homcoming is in Octoberish, traditionally aligned with the first football home game (if your school has a team) if it doesn’t, (i went to an all girls school) it's just a dance (welcome back to schoo thingl) open to all grade levels, 9-12. And is typically semi-formal, but not always. Prom is at the end of the year, May. And formal. depending on how big the school is, they can have two. One for Juniors, 11th grade, and one for Seniors, 12th grade. You can only attend those if you are in that grade level or if you are the date for someone in that grade level. (I.e. freshmen can only go to jr. Prom if invited by a jr.) Both can have a 'King' and 'Queen', sometimes there's a 'Court' or 'Princesses and Princes' it just depends on the school, like if there's literally 2,000 kids. Some schools it's important, others could not care less. But campaigns can get competative and you can vote at homecoming or the week leading up to it. There are posters, a nomination process. Its a whole thing.

In my HS the King and Queen are usually seniors but they have other court roles that can be voted on for the lower class men, even freshmen. There's Lord and Lady, Duke and Duchess etc

I am seeing a ton of comments about Homecoming. Those comments are mostly accurate. It generally happens in early autumn and is normally associated with football if the school has a team. All the other details greatly depend on the individual school. It is a big thing, but media definitely overblows the importance it has to the average student. My school, in a very small southern town, has a parade and a "royal court" that are voted on. The "royal court" would put up flyers and maybe a couple poster boards during my time. Our parade has both school-related things and "town-realated" things. This post is already going to be long so I won't detail everything in the parade, but there is a different theme every year and each grade competes for the best float. (I think I only went to maybe a dozen sport games over all four years, but I did help decorate floats 3 out of 4 years.) There was never a Homecoming dance from my high school years in the early-mid 00s through when my youngest sibling graduated two years ago. Maybe they had them during 1960-2000, but I never heard about them. The Homecoming " royal court" is announced during the Homecoming football game. Bigger schools might have separate junior and senior proms that happened in the spring, but we only have one from both grades. I was (surprisingly) invited during my sophomore year (10th grade), but I never went to it any year because I just was not interested. This is very uncommon, but I am not sure if we had a "royal court" for prom because I never heard anything about it when I was in school. My school put *some* effort into prom, but they had one (or maybe two) "regular" dances during my first two years of high school and ceased having them to this day as far as I know.

20:33 The Budz' reaction to... that has me CRYING 🤣🤣

I think Carter was expecting her to be quiet and watch what everyone else was doing. If I was in that situation and my job was to blend, I would see what everyone else was doing then copy😭

There's a king and queen for homecoming and prom. All of the dances in order are: 1.Homecoming 2. Winter formal 3. Sadie Hawkins 4. Spring Fling 5. Prom

25:43 About the homecoming dance, King and Queen were 12th grade, Prince and Princess were 11th grade, Duke and Duchess were 10th grade and Count and Countess were 9th grade.

I don't care that it makes no sense, I still love this movie. Also, I will not accept any One And The Same slander! Fun fact: Originally Selena was cast as Rosie and Demi was cast as Carter. Later they decided to switch their parts and were both happier with the final casting.

“The cops are actually there, they’re just doing nothing” they literally were lol 😭😭 they were straight up just chilling in the helicopter that whole time waiting to jump out.

This wasn't a big deal in most American schools. I actually talk to some friends of mine occasionally now that we're adults about the disharmony between the idea and image of American high school in media vs the reality.

All these years I never knew there was an after credits scene

Homecoming Queen & King is usually not as a big of deal as Prom King & Queen - at least in my school - and they are announced at the first football game, not the Homecoming dance. Most of the time it's one of the footballers and/or cheerleaders who are crowned. It would have more sense if they were fighting for the title of Prom Queen - because no one really remembers the Homecoming Queen as it happens at the beginning of school, but more people remember their Prom and who was Queen and King at that dance. My Prom King was the class clown that everyone loved, and the Queen was the class president and honor student.

Sorry, but I... As a girl who used to like this movie when was younger, it's still a good movie to remember those years.

For the record: jail and paper bag in Spanish are nowhere close to the same word.

U guys r hilarious. For American high school culture. Homecoming is where the alumni students come to the big game🏈in October usually. During the Homecoming dance every grade from 9th to 12th & there is a whole court from King & Queen 11th to Prince & Princess 10th to Jes to Jester 9th. Then Prom is the big dance at the end of the year usually in May & it’s only for the Juniors 11th & Seniors 12th which is y you’ll hear “Junior Prom” or “Senior Prom” where there is only a Prom King & Queen but only the seniors can run for.

Was I shouted out in the opening joke? Was that me? If so it sounded like an Edgar Allan Poe reference and I particularly love that as a bookseller. If not, still loved it! ❤

They're back again!!!❤

Has anybody else never seen that ending? like...in south america the movie ends right after the coronation, we never get the one year later thing

12:28 thank you, Steph... I'm one of those Rosas around the world 😂

This movie is a major guilty pleasure of mine, it's so silly but I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I'm so happy you guys watched it!

Wow that’s crazy, I don’t remember that last part after the “One Year Later”. You learn something new everyday 😂.

Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, PLEASE!

45:00 What do you mean it's not a good song? Selena and Demi sang it together it's called "One and the Same" I love it 😭

American here to clear up high school confusion 9 - Freshman 10 - Sophomore 11 - Junior 12 - Senior Most schools have prom for the juniors and seniors and then if you're younger you just have to be invited. Prom is usually in the spring. Some bigger schools have junior and senior exclusive proms, depends on the budget and size more than anything else. Homecoming is usually in the fall and for all the grades. The King and Queen thing is more so just for popularity. It sounds shallow I know, but it just kinda is.

i v much appreciate the anti-imperialist (& military industrial complex) critique in this video as an iraqi woman living in the states. also, this film was a staple for teen girls in the early 2010's, & even lead me to make my first youtube channel under the name 'demiselenaalways' lmao.

The lizard is an anole, apparently quite common in the swampy areas in the US.

I just loved the B99 reference

YAY you were able to post it!!

I’m amused by the idea of this movie, made by a company based in a country that ditched monarchy and became a republic, being pro monarchy propaganda. Like that’s been Disney’s endgame all along. Spend 100 years programming kids to love princesses, then when we least expect it, stage a coup, establish their own country, and install a monarchy of princesses.

Wait her dress was stuck in the car door of a convertible with the top down... just reach in and turn the lock??

Funny as hell reaction, couldn’t stop laughing at your faces cringing to the scenes😂😂😅 Demi and selena were adorable❤

The king and queen thing is different depending on where in the US you're from and what school you go to. My high school had homecoming king and queen and it was 'kind of' a big deal: homecoming football game, announcing it at halftime, crowning and pictures with a short red carpet thing. But there was never a prom king and queen.

At least in my state it’s “Homecoming” when it’s junior year and then “Prom” for senior year, both have a ‘king’ and ‘queen’

@ The Movie Budz You two say she wasn't being a brat she tried to order her to around, First thing she said in the room was about how she was going to have that bed removed and for Her to make other sleeping arrangements. I think I sense a odor of brat in those actions.

Disney's "Descendants" plz? U guys are really gonna like it. All 3 movies in the franchise are on the verge of being iconic. RIP Cameron Boyce.

Maybe it's because I didn't sleep much last night, but I really got a kick out of the Tell-Tale Heart reference in the intro tbh

Ah- back when Selena and Demi used to be bffs and everything was right with the world :’)

I just can't believe modern princesses are so disconnected from reality 😅

Maybe those at her original placement could've orepared her more, but she said she only trusted the major. He, then, was unprepared and ordered to take her last minute.

Loved this reaction guys 😊

48:18 I just finished reading a book called The DUFF (2010) and I swear I just heard the inspiration for it. DUFF (designated ugly/fat friend) is the less attractive person in a friend's group thats kept around to make the others look hotter. The love/hate romantic interest seems to be taken from this movie too. So... maybe it was more or less a fanfic 😂. Good story but more hooking up than most adult novels I've read.

definitely let it shine next, it is a super underrated movie very good songs! great vids per usual!

Disney did do Prince and the Pauper with the Sprouse Twins. I think it was straight to DVD movie.

I'm really tired of them pretending that rich people don't know how to eat food. They're not aliens nor that daft. But anytime this kinda plot is done they have no idea how to put food in their mouth?! ....but why?!?! They always see "American TV and movies" where they often eat burgers and hot dogs. I'm sorry yall this one apparently is a trigger lol

homecoming prince &princess happens like 4 times a year &then prom happens once at the end of the year w king &queen, its from juniors (grade 11) &seniors (grade 12)

I loved this movie as a child

Thanks!

The Costa Luna parts of this movie (including the "castle") were filmed in my country The island of Puerto Rico US Commonwealth.

I'm shocked that Greg from Succession is in this movie

For my high school we have homecoming king and queen for every grade.

About the bowling scene… in America there are actual bowling clubs where they compete and its an important hobby to them / they take it seriously. Honestly it’s so cute 😂
