Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad aired on an American broadcasting company and featured Matthew Lawrence, Glen Beaudin, and Kevin Castro in the lead roles. The storyline revolves around viruses as Sam Collins (played by Matthew Lawrence) becomes a target of a power surge, later finding a weird wrist device on his hand.

Soon after, another power surge pulls him into his video game, turning him into a character called Servo to fight dangerous viruses. For someone who likes series revolving around gaming characters or animation, this is a good watch. This is a proper teen drama with fans loving Lawrence's acting, calling it fun to watch while fighting the virus, something that doesn't usually happen in real life.

One of the top-rated movies of Matthew, Mrs. Doubtfire is directed by Chris Columbus and features Robin Williams, Sally Field, and Pierce Brosnan in the main leads. In the movie, Matthew plays the role of Chris Hillard, son of the main characters, Daniel and Miranda Hillard.

While he seems like a regular kid, viewers see him as curious about the new nanny, Mrs. Doubtfire, while also dealing with his parents' divorce. Viewers can see how Chris, while just being a kid, notices habits that help reveal Mrs. Doubtfire's secret, making his character more appealing and interesting to watch.

3) The Hot Chick (2002)

The Hot Chick is not a regular Hollywood movie, as its storyline revolves around a teenage girl, Jessica, played by Rachel McAdams, who switches her body with a grown man, Rob Schneider. Matthew Lawrence plays the character of Billy, Jessica's boyfriend.

The story gets really interesting when Jessica interacts with Billy while she is in another person's body and finally reveals the truth to him just to see him taking off by surprise.
