BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you ever feel like every time you turn around, your life is being flipped upside down? Welcome to the world of Alice McKinley!

Anchor Bay Entertainment has recently released the funny, sweet and poignant tween film, "Alice Upside Down" on DVD, headlined by rising star Alyson Stoner ("Camp Rock," "Cheaper By The Dozen") as Alice McKinley and tween/teen favorite Lucas Grabeel ("High School Musical 3" feature film) as her annoying teenage brother, Lester. Available for the suggested retail price of $19.97, "Alice Upside Down" co-stars Luke Perry ("Jeremiah," "Beverly Hills, 90210") as Alice's cool dad trying to do the best he can, and the hilarious Penny Marshall ("Laverne and Shirley") as her stern sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Plotkin. Ashley Drane ("That's So Raven") and Parker McKenna Posey ("My Wife & Kids") also star. The "Alice Upside Down" DVD is filled with great extras including interviews with Alyson Stoner and Lucas Grabeel and a feature highlighting the costumes of "Alice Upside Down." Directed by Sandy Tung ("Saving Shiloh," "Soccer Dog: European Cup"), "Alice Upside Down" is a production of Open Pictures and Avondale Entertainment Productions.

Based on the popular best-selling Alice McKinley books by Newbery medalist, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, "Alice Upside Down" tells the story of 11-year-old Alice McKinley, who has moved to a new town with her widowed dad Ben and teenage brother Lester, leaving her the only girl in an all male household. Alice imagines herself cool, confident and popular, but in reality her life is full of anxiety, awkward moments and overwhelming challenges. Alice misses her mom more than ever during these confusing pre-teen years, and she feels like she can't do anything right! Can Alice survive the embarrassments of being "the new girl in school," the dramas of the school musical, and the miseries of Mrs. Plotkin?
