Zack and Cody (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) have certainly grown up since their debut on the Disney Channel back in 2005. To showcase their accomplishments, Disney DVD has released, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: Lip Synchin’ in the Rain. The DVD contains four hilarious episodes from Season 3 highlighting some the great moments of the series.

First, is the episode Lip Synchin’ in the Rain. In this episode the boys, High School is putting on the play High School Musical. However, even though the real Ashley Tisdale (Maddie Fitzpatrick) is part of the cast, she is passed over by the director for the role of Sharpay. In true Zack and Cody style, this episode is full of humor and twists (and?) turns that will make you want to watch the original High School Musical movie right after seeing this one.

Next is the episode, Arwin That Came To Dinner. In this episode, the hotel’s maintenance man, Arwin (Brian Stepanek), is upset because his mother has left town and convinces Zack and Cody’s mom, Kim Rhodes (Carey Martin), to let him sleep over for a couple of days; and of course, it isn’t as easy as it sounds. The episode appears to be the weakest link on the DVD. However, it still showcases some of the other cast members who work at the Tipton Hotel.

Following Arwin That Came to Dinner, is Orchestra. In this episode, Zack decides to join his high school band, which Cody is not too happy about. Meanwhile London Tipton (Brenda Song) tries to learn how to perform the different jobs at her father’s hotel. This episode is another hit run and shows all the classic Zack and Cody comedy everyone has come to love: smart wit, slapstick laughter, and a lingering desire to watch more.

Lastly, the episode, A Tale of Two Houses, closes out the main features on the DVD. In this episode Zack and Cody's Dad, Kurt (Robert Torti), moves into town for a play, and he rents an apartment in the city. Zack and Cody both bring their girlfriends to the apartment the same night. This episode showcases how Zack and Cody are growing up, and are no longer little kids, and that they want some alone time with their girlfriends, but, as usual, nothing ever goes as planned.

The DVD also has a Disney Backstage feature called, Twin-Tastic, in which the boys (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) talk with Brenda Song about what it is like to be twins.

All in all this is a great DVD that showcases some of the best episodes of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Season 3, Disney Channel Television Series.
