He has big dreams and he wants to make them happen so badly, even when he has little support from his peers and his family.
#Auditions for the next big thing on disney channel movie#
The driving force of the movie is Nate, a school misfit who’s unabashedly true to himself. But Better Nate Than Ever hits all the sweet spots, balancing the heart and the humor in a delightful feel-good mix. Too often, Disney Plus Originals have held back from embracing the special charm of an unapologetic all-ages escapade, and have tried to appeal to adults instead. But unlike other Disney Plus Originals, Better Nate Than Ever keeps that same earnest charm that the best DCOMs share. It has more budget and polish than the likes of High School Musical, Camp Rock, and Lemonade Mouth. Let’s get one thing out of the way: Better Nate Than Ever isn’t an unabashedly goofy and indulgent Disney Channel Original Movie. Meanwhile, Nate also tries to keep his high-schooler brother Anthony (Joshua Bassett) from finding out he even left town at all.

In New York, he reunites with his estranged Aunt Heidi (Lisa Kudrow), who’s been trying to make it as an actress for years. Making it in the big city isn’t as glamorous or as easy as the musicals paint it to be, but Nate is determined to see his dream through, in spite of the mounting odds against him. With his parents away for the weekend, Nate and his best friend Libby (Aria Brooks) decide to take a chance and run away to New York to audition for a Broadway version of Lilo and Stitch. Nate Foster (newcomer Rueby Wood) is a passionate theater kid who just can’t catch his big break in any of the stage productions at his middle school.
