Unfabulous:The Perfect Moment is a hour long TV Movie event that debuted on Nicklelodeon October 7, 2006. It was originally a two part season finale.
In this TV Movie, Addie Singer (Emma Roberts) has been thinking about Jake Bahari (Raja Fenske) since the last day of seventh grade. She has been trying to call him and with the bad reception, Jake thought Addie said she hated him. She also tried putting a message in the newspaper but instead of her name, it said Eddie. Later, Addie finds out Jake and Patti are back together and they are going to Jake's cousin's wedding together, the wedding being in Chinatown. Addie plans to go to tell Jake that she likes him, but she needs a ride. She asks Ben, but he is too busy watching his ex-girlfriend and co-worker Jen and her new boyfriend. She then leaves many fliers for the Peking Acrobats (who will be performing in Chinatown) and Jen's boyfriend asks Jen if she wants to go see them. Ben decides to follow them to Chinatown and gives Geena, Zack and Addie a ride to Chinatown. Addie's parents leave for their anniversary night. Right after the parents leave, Addie, Genna, Zack, and Ben head out to Chinatown. They take their mom's car, but Ben can't drive stick shift so the car breaks down but starts back up again. They finally get there, and Ben heads out to find Jen. Addie, Genna, and Zack head to the wedding. However, Zack goes to save a lobster from being eaten. When Addie and Genna get to the wedding, they see Jake and Patti and Genna sees a cute boy. At the same time, Ben gets Jen's new boyfriend and some Chinese acrobats arrested. Zack sees Addie's mom and dad at the restaurant where he is saving the lobster, which he names Dolores. Addie and Genna get kicked out of the wedding but get right back in. Ben wants to get a tattoo to show Jen how 'mature' he is, but is arrested for being underage. Addie bails him out with money from Zack racing Dolores against a turtle. While in jail, Ben realizes Jen's boyfriend isn't so bad and asks Addie to bail him out too. She quickly returns to the wedding, but realizes the wedding is over. Because of a prophecy from a fortune-teller, she followed the sound of bells, coming from Jake's cellphone, which was in a garbage dump. She finds the cellphone and when she climbs out, Jake is standing right next to the dump. They talk for a little while and Addie explains that she still likes him. Jake tells Addie that he likes her also and that he and Patti aren't actually back together, but that her family was invited to the wedding and he was trying to avoid her. Jake has to leave, but first he and Addie kiss, after which Addie says "Perfect." She quickly returns home, but when her parents return, they notice Dolores, whom Zack had put on the table so she could 'stretch her legs'. Addie and Ben are punished by having to work in their dad's store, but she is too happy to let it bring her down.
[edit] Trivia
- This is the first time we hear them talking about a flashback.
- This was originally supposed to be a two part episode.
- There were references to all three Back to the Future movies and The Muppets Take Manhattan. Notably, one character corrects another character's assertion that 'indians' played a role in Back to the Future 2, stating that Back to the Future 3 was the movie which featured these people. In fact, neither movie involved indians.
- This is the second time 'The Muppets Take Manhattan' was mentioned. The first time was in the episode "The Rep".
