    Some audience reviewers described this comedy about a goose bachelor adopting two ducklings as "funny" and "entertaining."

    However, even though "Duck, Duck, Goose," was advertised as a kids movie, several audience members commented that the film had a lot of "adult humor" in it, which some didn't think was appropriate for children.

    In this Disney Channel teen comedy, Zendaya plays high school-student Halley, who runs a web magazine with her best friend, Avalon (Bella Thorne). The story finds the pair putting their friendship to the test when only one is given the opportunity of a lifetime.

    Although some reviewers called the movie "cute" and "great for kids," others said the story itself was "cliché" and "superficial."

    Some audience members disliked the film's structure, which is split into three separate chapters about different characters.

    One of Zendaya’s earliest roles was as straight-A student Zoey Stevens in the 2014 movie "Zapped."

    Audience Score: 43%

    This Disney Channel original movie tells the story of a teen who discovers an app that allows her to control the actions of all the boys in her life.

    Even though Zendaya earned a Young Artist Award nomination for her role as Zoey, audience reviewers criticized the film for relying on gender stereotypes for comedy.

    Multiple reviewers called it "sexist" because the protagonist, Zoey, constantly compares men to dogs. One reviewer called it, "the worst TV movie" they had ever seen.

    One of Zendaya’s earliest voice-acting roles was in the 2013 kid-friendly film "Super Buddies," where she performed as the pony Lollipop.
