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]

    If you're already a pre-teen fan, you'll love this flick. Chaperoning parents will just have to grin and bear it.

    Jonas Brothers fans will feel like they are on stage with Joe, Nick, and Kevin in this immersive 3D concert film from the recent "Burning Up" tour.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    The 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.

    It'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.

    The 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.

    If you're a Jonas fan, take the star rating above and double it, since I'm old and the Jonases are awesome!

    Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience isn't a movie so much as a devotional object, a kind of secular fetish designed to induce rapture.

    This movie spends too much time on stage, and not enough off.

    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.

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

    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.
