Consensus: Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience should please the brothers' adoring followers, but for non-converts, this concert film is largely flat and unenlightening.

Rated: G

Runtime: 76 mins

Genre: Musical & Performing Arts

Theatrical Release:Feb 27, 2009 Wide

Box Office: $19,024,826

Synopsis: Pop singing sensations the Jonas Brothers make their feature-film debut in this concert experience. From their beginnings on the Disney Channel to the enormous fame that came after the 2007 release... Pop singing sensations the Jonas Brothers make their feature-film debut in this concert experience. From their beginnings on the Disney Channel to the enormous fame that came after the 2007 release of their self-titled debut album, the New Jersey natives have followed a similar path to other tween pop idols like Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff. But unlike those two, the real-life brothers have mostly appeared as themselves, not adopting on-screen personae like Cyrus’s Hannah Montana. For a band so young, they take their music seriously and hold their fans dear. While they’ve got producers working left and right to perfect their smooth look and sound, all three young men have a say in the band’s creative direction. Taking their musical act to the big screen, Kevin, Joe, and Nick delight their large pre-teen and teenage fan base with their cute looks, youthful energy, and musical optimism. The Disney film takes Jonas fans along with the band as they travel across the U.S. on their "Burning Up" tour, with guest spots by Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato. The film is packed not only with concert material, but also with backstage happenings as the band uses its pop sensibilities to try to make sense of love, newfound celebrity, and growing up. Filmed in July and August of 2008, the film focuses largely on two concert venues: Anaheim's Honda Center, and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Fan favorites are performed alongside one previously unreleased Jonas Brothers track, "Love Is On Its Way." [More]

    Walking into this picture, I couldn't name a single Jonas Brothers song. Walking out, I still couldn't name a single Jonas Brothers song, but at least I know now Joe's the guy on all the erasers and backpacks at Target.

    This current squeaky-clean vocal group is way more talented than its elders were.

    The brothers are no Beatles, but it won't matter to fans who'll just be happy to spend some concentrated time with their crushes.

    The threat may be as illusory as the thrills in Jonas Brothers are contrived. But that won't stop Jonas junkies from enjoying their magical mystery tour.

    Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience is no Last Waltz, but it's going to be some kid's first step towards pop music, and it's so well made and exuberant that you'd be a fool to begrudge it.

    It's a Pavlovian thing. See swarthy (and shirtless!) teen heartthrob Joe Jonas standing backstage in 3-D: scream.

    For those of us dwelling outside the Jonas demo, the small charms in the 'candid' moments have little to do with the boys' talents as actors, and a lot to do with the revered icons whose cheeky behavior they're imitating.

    In a struggling music economy, the big screen can be big money -- for the right acts. And the Jonas Brothers are exactly that.

    Like their fellow tweenie sensation Hannah Montana, the boys are the perfect stars to get the three-dimensional treatment.

    For its intended 'tween audience, it's high-decible and shreik-inducing, but it's not recommended for anyone over the age of 30.

    The Jonas Brothers are a contemporary phenomenon -- a boyish trio who dazzle fangirl tweens.

    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.

    The 3D cameras capturing the concert at New York's Madison Square Garden can't give their insipid guitar pop or their charisma-free presence the extra dimension they need.

    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.

    I'm a fan of power-pop, and I was even an unapologetic Hanson listener when it was uncool to be one, so I wish I could be more enthusiastic about the actual music here.
