Even though I love The Suite Life, this was one of my least favorites so far. First we see Zack and Cody with brand new love interests (surprise) in the midst of auditions for A Midsummer's Night Dream at school. Right in the beginning we see Cody about to kiss his girlfriend, Gwen. It seems like the boys have been kissing a lot in the series just for the sake of kissing, and so i was not shocked by this. Of course, Zack also has a crush on a girl named Vanessa. Once the scene ended, Bob had two random and unnecessary lines. Even though I love Bob, I don't want to see his character reduced to a walking one-liner.
Back at the Tipton we see London returning from the Tokyo Tipton, with plans to rearrange the hotel lobby according to Fung-Shui. This idea seemed like a good premise for the episode, but didn't quite live up to expectations. The crazy setting upstaged the characters and everyone seemed awfully uncomfortable. This may have been intended, but it just was difficult too watch them be so unsure of themselves. Luckily there was some humor that made up for this.
Back at school, Zack and Cody are having love troubles. After an unbearably long kiss between Zack and Gwen, Gwen dumps Cody for Zack. Vanessa falls for Cody who still likes Gwen, and Zack is angry with this since he still likes Vanessa. An obvious play on A Midsummer's Night Dream (which is mentioned later by Cody) but since these are 13 year old kids in middle school, the whole idea seemed a little...too old for them. During the performance, Gwen, Vanessa, Zack, Cody, and even Agnes end up getting into a fight with each other over 'who-loves-who.' This whole scene was a little wishy-washy, the lines were pretty random, and the fight was just plain weird.
Luckily, there were three girls in this episode i was impressed with. Gage Golightly played Vanessa, someone who is not just a generic beauty like most girls on TV today. Selena's acting was very believable, and the scene between her and Agnes was hilarious. That brings me to Allie Grant. This was her best acting by far on the Suite Life, and she was one of the only characters who was able to make me laugh out loud. She definitely helped this episode! Overall, I give this episode a 6 out of ten. Despite its awkward plot and the discomfort i experienced while watching it, the acting was awesome as usual and that alone made me enjoy this.
