Consensus: An innocuous and cheesy piece of fluff filled with musical numbers that are tied together by a thin plot. An innocuous and cheesy piece of fluff filled with musical numbers that are tied together by a thin plot. more

The fairytale rise to superstardom of America's favorite "Idols" continues as Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini make the leap to the big screen in this spring's biggest beach party, From Justin to Kelly, a new musical romantic comedy. The music from the film features the formidable singing talents of both "Idols," and plays a major role in the excitement of this major motion picture.

Spring break in Miami is the scene. It's where surf-drenched guys cruise girls in bikinis and raucous parties rule day and night. It's the perfect time and place for three young women from Texas and a trio of college guys from Pennyslvania to find adventure and maybe even fall in love.

In a Texas dive bar, Kelly (Kelly Clarkson) is singing her heart out to a few local yokels when her best friends Kaya (Anika Noni Rose) and Alexa (Katherine Bailess) try and tempt her away fro some fun in the Florida sun. It's an easy sell -- even for the cautious Kelly -- and the three head for Miami.

Making their way to the same destination is the "Pennylvania Posse": college students Justin (Justin Guarini), Brandon (Greg Siff) and Eddie (Brian Dietzen). Justin and Brandon are smooth-talking party promoters, while Eddie's primed to meet Lizzie, the cyber dream girl he's been e-mailing for months

Miami Beach, beating with a rhythm all its own, is teeming with beautiful people. Kelly's friends are drawn into the beachside fun, while Kelly tentatively navigates a sea of strangers. When her eyes meet Justin's, everything changes, in as instant. While Kaya and Alexa are content to survey the parade of eye candy, Kelly's now only interested in the guy with the irresistible smile.

The feeling is mutual and Justin's on fire. But as luck would have it, he loses Kelly's number -- and boy-crazy Alexa has already set her sights on Justin. She will stop at nothing -- even betraying a friend -- to nab Justin as her own.

Is it too late to vote them off? For once, we don’t have to tell you how bad a film is... you knew before they made it.

The movie is billed as a romantic musical comedy. You coulda fooled me.

Watching them lock lips feels like incest propaganda: Justin and Kelly are offspring of the same publicity machinery, after all

From Justin to Kelly is bad, but Glitter is still worse because Glitter thinks it's a great movie.

How bad is From Justin to Kelly? Set in Miami during spring break, it's like Grease: The Next Generation acted out by the food-court staff at SeaWorld.

From Justin to Kelly is just one of those films, a bottomless well of snark fodder that may come and go in theatres but will surely be spun innumerable times on DVD at parties in the years to come.

Fans of the television show may show up for this one, but given that an American Idol sequel has already ended its run, audiences are likely to find it stale.

Moulin Rouge … Chicago … From Justin to Kelly … two steps forward and then about 16 steps back for the film musical.

It's more dumbfounding that so much time is wasted on a cast of unknowns, second-stringers granted solos long before Kelly or Justin take center stage. Why not support with other first-season alums?

The notion behind it is as contrived, forced, manipulated and fake as any film ever made.

Having won first and second place in some sort of TV talent show, Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini get to play movie star, a bonus all America should immediately vote to have removed from the prize bin.

What do you do to decide who gets the girl? Do you fight? Arm-wrestle, perhaps? Why, no, silly. You play hovercraft basketball, of course.

Messages that read 'I O U A BRGR. U GAME?' ... propel the plot forward. Alas, all the scenes in which Prince hijacks the cell phones have been left on the cutting room floor.

It was produced by people who saw nothing in it but a few quick bucks, filled with songs that no one would want to hear again and starring two people who have no business at the center of any movie.

I don’t think any young A-list duo could have triumphed over this production.

One of the worst movies you'll ever see -- but it's still not worth seeing.

Amid this glad tumble of Limited lycra ... surreality seeps in: American flags fly prominently; and despite sideline breakin', all rappers are white.
