Reviews for Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience
canned and created by committee
07/08/09
Fascinating only for the opportunity to observe the mesmerizing effect of a well-rehearsed, mass seduction on an auditorium filled with willing, adoring girls.
06/29/09
As sunglasses and guitar picks fly...and mics and pointing drumsticks thrust out of the screen, it's a sort of metaphor for the whole film (and the band it captures) to ponder which effects are "real" and which are manufactured in a computer. [Blu-ray]
06/28/09
The music is unmemorable, the staging conventional, the connection between religious and sexual ecstasy very evident.
06/02/09
This does pretty much what it says on the tin, though the interactive “3D” element does introduce a twist of sorts.

Hate the songs. What a lot of hair they have. Don't ask me the names.
05/29/09
The songs wash over in waves of such turgid mediocrity that by the end you’re praying for it to stop. Thankfully, after 76 minutes, it does – and all is well again.
05/29/09
This personality vacuum is a real problem in a film that purports to depict a day in the life of young pop stars whom audiences can actually relate to.
05/29/09
The movie, sadly, perpetuates the corporate myth that they are musical tyros, boyband savants and the sweetest virgins in the business.
05/29/09
It’s A Hard Day’s Night all over again, except nobody has bothered to write the brothers some funny dialogue.
05/29/09
This TV-special-sized feature comprises songs from the trio's recent Burning Up tour, along with gobbets of behind the scenes action.
05/29/09
It's a trite cash-in designed to empty pockets, lazily slapped together with concert footage and phoney fly-on-the-wall snippets.
05/29/09
This may be three dimensional poison for Jonas-hating curmudgeons but it's unlikely that any of the band's fans will be asking for their money back.
05/29/09
With their fresh-faced image, it’s hard not to snigger when they start spraying the audience with foam guns… Insert your own Freudian interpretation here.
05/29/09
Is it any good? That really all depends on whether you’re a fan of the Jonas Brothers.
05/29/09
The tunes are so bland it could be the same song on a loop, while the performances are spirited but nondescript.
05/29/09
This toe-curling dip into the sickly-sweet musical world of the Jonas brothers is innocuous and dull.
05/29/09
Accompanying parents can don blindfolds and ear-plugs and indulge in the sweet fantasy that they are somewhere, anywhere, else.
05/29/09
If you have no idea who these bland Disney charmers are or why they appear to be so popular, then this perfunctory concert film is unlikely to leave you any the wiser.
