Oh and I have said it before the Zack actor looks like a bobble head. HUGE head, HUGE black eyebrows and weird face. Nothing like the original.
I thought the same EXACT thing!! The ENTIRE cast was way too small and YOUNG looking. They looked like they were in 8th grade or something. Whereas the REAL cast all looked slightly older on TV....especially towards the later years.
I would have taken a slightly OLDER cast for this movie (say, maybe actors ages 19, 20, 21, heck...even 23 years old) playing the Saved by the Bell cast members instead of little shrimps who don't even look like they've barely gone through puberty yet lol.
Oh and Zack....who did the casting for him? My goodnes...they couldn't even get his HEAD shape right?? Mark Paul NEVER had such a big bobble round head. He just didn't. THe guy they had for him had a wider face and he looked like a baby! I just couldn't get into it. They got Screech down pretty well (probably the BEST cast looks-wise), and the guy who played Mario wasn't as tall, but he actually had Mario's looks, personality and even voice down pretty well. But the actor who played Zack lacked not only his LOOKS, but also his boyish charm/personality. He was dull. I felt like I could FEEL him acting.
Don't get me started on Jesse.... Kelly was alright...I could suspend my disbelief for a moment. Lisa was cast alright...they just made her a little TOO shy. I think Lark was kind of shy and quiet off camera, but she also had a lot of sass too in real life and was MUCH more bubbly in real life...Just watch old interviews.
They just got the casting WRONG for this....
