Movies that feel likeZapped (2014)

Zoey is a talented dancer whose organized life is rudely disrupted when she moves in with her new step-dad and three step-brothers, until she discovers a dog-training app that can get boys to obey her every command. But she soon learns that it isn't the cure-all she had hoped for.

If you loved Zapped, the closest films we have are Paper Planes (2014), Alibi.com (2017) and Coyote vs. Acme (2026). All three share Zapped's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is English Vinglish (2012).
