Stepsister from Planet Weird is a 2000 Disney Channel Original Movie that tells the story of Megan Larson (Courtnee Draper), a high school student who feels like an outcast due to her mother's new marriage to an alien named Cosmo Cola (Tom Wright). Mr. Cola and his daughter Ariel (Tamara Hope) are from the planet Circulon and they have unique abilities that make them stand out in Megan's small town. While Megan struggles to fit in at school, she also has to come to terms with the strange and unexpected changes that come with having stepsiblings from another planet.

The movie begins with Megan expressing her frustration about her mother remarrying and moving them to a new town. She is unhappy about leaving her old life behind and starting at a new school where she knows nobody. Her discomfort becomes even greater when she discovers that her new stepfather and stepsister are aliens from another planet. Cosmo Cola and Ariel are different from humans in many ways, including their mannerisms, appearances, and their unique abilities, which include levitation, disintegration, and telekinesis. Megan struggles to accept her new family and finds it hard to understand their strange behavior and customs.

As Megan and Ariel get to know each other better, they begin to learn about each other's worlds and perspectives. Ariel struggles with fitting in at school too because she is an outsider with unusual abilities that people don't understand. She has to deal with the fact that Megan's mother is human and doesn't have the same abilities as her, and Megan and her mother have to adjust to the unusual nature of their new family members. As the two stepsisters grow closer, they begin to support each other in their struggles to adapt and adjust to their new lives.

The two stepsisters also have to deal with the challenges of high school, including bullies who abuse their unique abilities, unexpected crushes, and misunderstandings with parents. The story tackles universal themes of fitting in and feeling like an outsider while trying to navigate the changes and transitions that come with adolescence. The movie has a light-hearted and playful tone, with several humorous moments throughout that make it a fun watch.

One of the standout performances of the film comes from Lance Guest, who plays Megan's father.
