It isn't bad enough to be good.

Top CriticUndiscovered feels more like a pilot for a glossy nighttime soap on Fox -- probably one that would be canceled midseason -- than a feature film with even a modicum of discernible originality or depth.

Top CriticIt's all very tacky, overheated and derivative, like Los Angeles itself.

This thing makes Glitter look like gold.

Undiscovered would like to think of itself as a gritty, documentary-style indie about hopefuls on the fringes of the industry, but it's more like one of those lame hair-metal bands that went out and bought flannel shirts after Nirvana hit it big.

A nice portrayal by Ashlee of a wanna-be rocker, in a music story in L.A. without drugs!

Ashlee's better at acting and singing than her more famous sister Jessica, but that's no great feat; might as well add that she'd make a better brain surgeon, too.

The script is every bit as literate as the content you'd find a back issue of "Blender," with just as much eye candy to bolster the thin material. Too bad this candy is sour.

Simpson steals the show -- which, admittedly, isn’t saying much considering her stiffest competition comes by way of a skateboarding bulldog.
09/04/05
Although it's all but forgotten before the fade-out, you don't rush to turn it off, either.
09/03/05
Top CriticAn enjoyably cheesy teen melodrama with a touch of indie edge.
09/03/05
Top CriticAvis layers every sequence with pop singles and confuses poor camera focus and colored lighting for aesthetic flair.
09/02/05
Bottom line: I get paid to sit through this kind of rubbish. You don't.

By the time Peter Weller appears to do his William Burroughs routine, you can only assume an angry God has added up all your sins and this movie is your punishment.
09/01/05
Director Meiert Avis is a veteran helmer of music videos, so while it is not entirely surprising that he has no feel for character or structure, it is strange that he doesn’t breathe much life into the frequent musical performances and montages either.

Like, sigh!
