PLOT:

This comedic Disney Channel Original Movie stars Hutch Dano (of Disney XD’s “Zeke and Luther”) as a teen hockey star who must swallow his pride and step in to be substitute leader of his little sister’s Bumble Bee Troop. However, when his self-centered antics cost the scouts a spot at Camporee, it’s up to the leader to earn his stripes.

Den Brother follows Alex Pearson (Dano), a typical teenager with a love for hockey (and girls), who wants nothing more than to go out on a date with his beautiful classmate, Matisse Burrows (Kelsey Chow), and land a spot on the coveted All Star hockey team.

When he ruins his chances of making it onto the All Star Team by getting suspended for showboating during a game, Alex’s disappointed father, Professor Pearson, makes him repent for his wrongdoing by delegating him to babysit his younger sister Emily (G Hannelius) and assigning him overdue chores.

Alex soon finds himself doing more than his fair share of babysitting and reluctantly winds up as Emily’s unofficial Bumble Bee troop leader after her troop’s den mother suddenly resigns. Now Alex is in charge of leading the elementary school-aged troop made of up Emily and four of her closest friends - Abigail, Ursula, Tina and Rachel and must hide the fact that they don’t really have a den mother anymore.
