Originally produced and aired during the summer of 2006 on The Disney Channel, the gentle, family-friendly teen comedy Read It and Weep constitutes an adaptation of Julia DeVillers' popular 2004 young-adult novel How My Journal Became a Bestseller. The film revolves around Jamie (Kay Panabaker), a pretty and intelligent high-school freshman, but also a complete wallflower who spends the majority of her time daydreaming and scribbling in her personal journal, and whose chances of entering the popular cliques are slim at best. Jamie carries a secret weapon, however: a brash and sharp-tongued alter ego named Isabella, or "Is" (played by Kay Panabaker's twin sister, Danielle Panabaker), who parades through the halls and classrooms of her high school with not an iota of self-doubt in her mind, and who manages, in no time flat, to throw her enemies into detention and win the devotion of the most popular boy in her school. Then, one day, Jamie's life turns a corner when, in an attempt to meet a class deadline, she accidentally turns in her private journal instead of a composition assignment -- and her teacher promptly turns it into a best-seller. Alexandra Krosney, Marquise C. Brown, Jason Dolley, and Nick Whitaker co-star; Patrick J. Clifton and Beth Rigazio co-wrote the adaptation. Nathan Southern, Rovi

DCOM= Disney Channel Original Movie. I speak as a fan fully aware that the movies don't have to be all deep, in-depth, and artistic masterpieces. Generally known for their feel-good style, they're just plain Family carefree fun.
Read it and Weep was just plain torture. No uniqueness coupled with ample materialistic worry made this movie lose its flow and seem like a noise. Basically, it's all about "what will everyone think of me?" but with a tacky twist.
The story is similar to Harriet the Spy, but the latter has a more genuine real vibe to it. A girl's personal writing (including what she wrote about other people) gets accidentally published and to the world she's a star, but to her own peers, she's the villain. The actress was cute, but overall the movie was dull.
The DCOMs for the past few years have been disappointing. If you want some of the better ones, go for the Halloweentown series (up until 3, not 4), Phantom of the Megaplex, The Color of Friendship, Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire, Alley Cats Strike!,... basically anything before Pixel Perfect.
