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

Reviews for Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience
Top CriticApplying 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.
03/02/09
Top CriticIt's no mystery that the target audience for this G-rated bubblegum fantasy is tweens, parents of tweens and the occasional pervert. They'll be so pleased. Anything for the rest of humanity? Not so much.
03/02/09
Top CriticBoy bands serve multiple functions for their audiences. They entertain, they sing the poetry of love, they offer a spectrum of masculine attributes. On the first two counts, the Jonas Brothers movie leaves something to be desired.
03/02/09
Top CriticThis is a concert, not in any way, shape or form, a film.
03/02/09
Top CriticIt serves its purpose.
03/02/09
Top CriticThe 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.
02/27/09
Top CriticLove them or loathe them, it's the Jonas Brothers' moment -- you might as well enjoy it.
02/27/09
Top CriticOnly for die-hard members of Team Jonas.
02/27/09
Top CriticThe film gets one star from me for the admirable brevity of its running time and another for the definite article in its title, seemingly an implicit promise that there will be no sequel.
02/27/09
Top CriticIt's too bad the film offers none of the comedic sparkle they recently showed on Saturday Night Live and David Letterman's show. It's only slightly better than the surprisingly flat and one-dimensional Hannah Montana movie.
02/27/09
Top CriticThe attitude displayed by Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience back toward those fans comes across as a curious mixture of shameless pandering and discreet contempt.
02/27/09
Top CriticJonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience isn't a movie so much as a devotional object, a kind of secular fetish designed to induce rapture.
02/27/09
Top CriticThis movie spends too much time on stage, and not enough off.
02/27/09
Top CriticIn a struggling music economy, the big screen can be big money -- for the right acts. And the Jonas Brothers are exactly that.
02/27/09
Top CriticThe brothers are no Beatles, but it won't matter to fans who'll just be happy to spend some concentrated time with their crushes.
02/26/09
Top CriticWe 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.
02/25/09
Top CriticThis tepid concert film does the Jonas Brothers no favors, not that the band's tweener fans will notice.
02/25/09
Top CriticAt 76 minutes, the film is nearly twice as long as even the band’s most dedicated admirers might need, with weariness setting in around the 40-minute mark.
02/25/09
Top CriticFor 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.
