Presented by the producers of Private Benjamin, Cadet Kelly is the story of a young teenage girl's dilemma when her life of free-spirited creativity and unmasked familial love collides with a world of extreme military discipline and reserve. Kelly Collins, played by Hilary Duff, is a happy student at New York Middle School of the Arts whose whole world changes dramatically when her mother marries an army captain who's just been promoted to Commandant at George Washington Military Academy. Thrust into a rigid world of obedience that frowns upon creativity and individuality, Kelly manages to make one close friend, but clashes with Cadet Captain Stone (Christy Carlson Romano) and is eventually court-martialed. Sentenced to maintain the equipment for the drill team, Kelly's disdain for the team suddenly evaporates when she glimpses the beauty and creativity involved in their precise maneuvers. Eventually, Kelly experiences significant personal growth, finds an outlet for her creativity, and begins to forge an important connection with her new stepfather. DVD extras include commentary by Christy Carlson Romano and Aimee Garcia, a "learning the drills" segment with Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson Romano, a "drill team challenge" interactive game that will have viewers doing everything from lacing up a boot to deciphering military time, and a DVD-ROM party planner.

Teen idol Hilary Duff stars in the Disney Channel family comedy CADET KELLY. When her mother marries friendly General Maxwell (Gary Cole, OFFICE SPACE), fashionable and independent-minded teen Kelly Collins (Duff) must move to a new town and start at a new school. Unfortunately, that new school is a military academy, where Kelly struggles to fit in with the strict and regimented atmosphere. Her progress is not made easier by Cadet Captain Stone (Christy Carlson Romano, KIM POSSIBLE), a mean and by-the-books troop leader who seems to have singled Kelly out to antagonize. Now Kelly must find a way to integrate herself into the school's disciplined world while at the same time maintaining her upbeat and unique viewpoint on life.
