Set in Miami during spring break, it's like Grease: The Next Generation acted out by the food-court staff at SeaWorld."cite web|url= http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,452286~1~0~fromjustintokelly,00.html|title=Movie Review From Justin to Kelly (2003)|date=May 23, 2003|accessdate=July 21, 2009|publisher= Entertainment Weekly |last=Gleiberman|first=Owen
Some theater chains threatened not to screen the movie at all when distributor 20th Century Fox announced plans to rush it to VHS and DVD a mere six weeks after its opening weekend, but Fox ultimately relented and pushed the release date back a number of months. After the opening-weekend flop, Fox reinstated the original release schedule.
The choreography was considered so bad that a special Golden Raspberry Awards#Governor.27s Award|Golden Raspberry "Governor's Award" was created as an excuse to present the film with a Razzie. However, the movie was better received by the Teen Choice Awards , as it was nominated for two Choice Movie Breakout Stars (for Guarini and Clarkson) and Choice Chemistry.
