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]

    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.

    The lack of depth or personality makes Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience a tedious, empty viewing experience for anyone unlucky enough to be dragged to see it.

    Call us cynical, but isn't there something just a tiny bit iffy about three sworn virgins performing a rock show in which the climax has them shooting gallons of white "party" foam over their adoring girl fans?

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

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

    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.

    76 minutes of squeaky clean processed-cheese-food product rock' music interspersed with spurious 'documentary' footage.

    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 Disney-created automatons have none of the charisma that Miley Cyrus showed in her 3-D concert film, and the lame 3-D effects make this flick priced for rip-offs at $15.

    If you aren't a teenage girl or can't channel your inner groupie for 76 minutes, you have no business at Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

    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.

    It'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.

    Boy 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.

    Thanks to 3D, you feel like you can almost reach out and touch the Jonas Brothers, grab them by the neck, and strangle the everlasting life out of them.
