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]

    Girls are crazy. I don't mean they're mildly emotional or excitable. I mean completely nuts. At least the girls flocking to see the new 3D Jonas Brothers movie are.

    We learn nothing about who they are or where they come from -- they may not even have parents, for all we know, since the adult accompanying them is usually their bodyguard.

    This is a concert, not in any way, shape or form, a film.

    They are all part of a great American tradition. Hate them if you want to, but you might as well hate gated communities,The Real World, and the war on terror while you're at it.

    Applying criticism to Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience is like trying to lasso a bull with dental floss. It's not going to stop the bull and no one's really going to notice.

    If the boys are dreamy and smooth enough for that pink iPod on the ride home from school, that doesn’t mean they have the juice to carry a 76 minute documentary. And at 76 minutes, the movie is still too long.

    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 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.

    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.

    The tunes are so bland it could be the same song on a loop, while the performances are spirited but nondescript.

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

    It's a trite cash-in designed to empty pockets, lazily slapped together with concert footage and phoney fly-on-the-wall snippets.

    OMG, the Jonas Brothers in 3-D! The promise-ring-wearing hotties try to burn down the house, but their Burning Up tour makes for a tepid rock doc.

    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.

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