The typical serial film “All Tip-Top, or the Life of Zach and Cody” won the hearts of not only American viewers, but also found fans among our audience, and especially the teenagers liked it. And this is logical, since the main roles in the series are played by twin actors, who were 12 years old at the time of shooting the first season. As you know, this is the age when you can bully and be naughty without fear of being especially severely punished. The script of the film is built on this.
The plot of the film "All tip-top, or the Life of Zach and Cody"
The main characters of Zach and Cody Martin are twin brothers, who by chance had to live in the modern luxury Tip-Top hotel, where their mother works. Almost the whole life of boys is concentrated around the hotel and its employees. Except for some scenes at school and short stories in other public institutions.
Zach is a mischievous and badass, very often manifests himself as a selfish and negligent teenager. Zach is the first-born who was born some 10 minutes before his brother. Taking into account this fact, he constantly uses it in relations with his brother.
Cody is a calmer, clever and moderately sociable boy. Has a more flexible character than his brother, therefore, often falls under his influence. Cody has a girlfriend named Barbara.
The twin mom, Carrie, played by Kim Rhodes, rarely appears in the film.
The twins perfectly and believably play the roles of boys with the names Zach and Cody. "All tip-top" (the actors in this film give all the best) demonstrates an interesting plot with elements of subtle English humor.
The film also has two girls. It can not be said that they play the main roles, but it is difficult to attribute them to secondary ones, since their relationship with the twin brothers is closely related to the main plot of the series.
London (the daughter of the founder of Tip-Top Hotel) is capricious and, like most young girls, loves to dress in fashion, while all her outfits are exclusively copyrighted. In the series, the girl leads her personal online show "Ay, yes I!" and, just like the guys, it has its own hotel room. The role of London is played by Brenda Song.
Maddy (or Miranda Katherine Fitzpatrick) - plays the role of a saleswoman of sweets at the hotel. But throughout the series and performs episodic roles. The heroine, played by masterfully actress Ashley Tisdale, is smart, beautiful, hardworking, and she is not spoiled. Maddy is London's closest friend, who sometimes still prefers to consider her a servant, kind and sympathetic, forgives everything to her friend and tries not to pay attention to grievances. Zach is infinitely in love with Maddy.
In each series, within the walls of the hotel, the guys find themselves in curious, sometimes extremely ridiculous situations, to get out of which they are helped by friends - hotel employees.
Plumber Arvin, corridor Esteban, doorman Normann, Muriel (maid), waiter Patrick, manager Mr. Mosby and other secondary characters successfully complement the colorful game of the main characters.
The film with the interesting title “Zach and Cody is all tip-top”, whose actors performed by the roles are very organic, will reveal to you new sensations from watching.
