Synopsis[]

Polly Pocket and her four friends get to be part of their favorite TV show, 'Roll Like That', which puts teams of five through several challenges to win money for the charity of their choice.

As the challenges begin, however, Polly learns that her father is engaged to a woman named Lorali, who secretly wants to get Polly out of the way. Polly and her friends also have to try to get past the scheming Beth, who teams up with Lorali to get Polly to be sent to boarding school.

Faced with the prospect of losing everything she loves, her friends, family, and home, Polly decides to make this weekend the best.

Plot (Beware Spoilers*)[]

Polly Pocket and her friends Shani, Lea, Lila and Crissy, as well their entire class get to be part of their favorite TV show, 'Roll Like That' which is being held at Polly's dad's theme park Pollyworld. In teams of five, they will compete in challenges to win money for the charity of their choice. Beth is upset because this would've been her big chance to showcase her mad skills and skyrocket her to the most popular girl in school, and her chances are threatened by Polly being there. Polly gets a call from her father, who tells her that he has a big surprise for her.

As the challenges begin, however, Polly learns of the big surprise: her father is engaged to a woman named Lorelei, who seems to like Polly. Polly isn't so sure if she's happy about getting a stepmother, and her friends offer to help her by checking Lorelei out for themselves. Later that night the first competition takes place, which Team Beth wins. Beth overhears Lorelei's phone conversation and learns of her true colors: she's jealous of Polly and thinks she's too much competition, which is why she's plotting to send her to boarding school. Afterward, Beth blackmails Lorelei into letting her help send Polly off to boarding school. That night John takes Polly and her friends to go shopping with Lorelei's help. They end the first-night watching fireworks.

The next morning Polly confides in Lila asking her what she thinks about Lorelei. Lila suggests that Polly buy them an engagement present. Polly invites Lorelei to skate and grab burgers with them for lunch. Team Pocket comes up with a plan to fool team Beth by pretending to be in a fight later that afternoon during the Rain Forest River Race. Lorelei uses this plan to her advantage in fooling John into thinking Polly is stressed and needs to attend boarding school.

After Team Pocket wins, Polly and Samuel go shopping for an engagement present. To keep the gift a surprise, Polly lies to her dad that she is hanging out with friends. John catches her in the lie, but goes along with it and asks Lorelei for advice. While shopping, Samuel tells Polly to give Lorelei a chance. While Polly is away, Lorelei tricks Samuel into feeling guilty for stepping into a parental mother figure role for Polly. Samuel informs Polly he will be taking a leave of absence.

An upset Polly goes to her father, who breaks the news that Polly will be attending boarding school starting Monday. Polly's friends cheer her up and they decide to make this the best weekend ever. During the third challenge, Crissy's fear of rollercoasters prevents her from riding the tallest rollercoaster, the Polly Whirl. Supporting Crissy Team Pocket decides to go elsewhere, but Crissy can't stand losing to Team Beth. During Team Beth and Team Pocket's rollercoaster face-off, Beth spills that she knew about boarding school, and Tori reveals that Beth heard it from Lorelei, making Polly suspicious. As Lila, Lea, Shani, and Crissy talk about the live finale, Polly realizes that boarding school isn't her father's idea at all and Lorelei made him think it was.

Later that night Shani finds a recorded conversation on her camera of Beth asking Lorelei if Polly is going to boarding school. They decide to show this to John to prove Lorelei's plan. In the end, Polly decides not to show her dad/John the DVD because she cares more about his happiness.

The next day Beth traps Team Pocket underneath the stage before the final competition. The show begins with no sign of Team Pocket. At the last minute, Team Pocket appears and performs "Rock This Town." Frustrated about potentially losing, Beth drags Lorelei into another room to discuss their plan. Beth accidentally sits on a button that turns on the microphone and broadcasts their entire conversation to the audience. John finds out about Lorelei's plan, and he goes to confront her for lying to him and cancels the engagement. As Lorelei runs after John, Beth takes advantage of being on the big screen to show off her mad cheerleading skills only to trip and get tangled in wires, causing the audience to laugh at her, and her team is disqualified. Team Thrash wins the Roll Like That competition. Afterward, Polly comforts her dad, who apologizes for what he did and tells her that she doesn't have to go to boarding school anymore.

Together Team Pocket celebrates their best weekend ever watching fireworks.
