The movie doesn't waste too much time with unnecessary stuff like having an interesting story. Its real job is to make everyone in it look like the most delicious batch of snack cakes ever. It succeeds at that at least.

Undiscovered just may be the dumbest movie of 2005.
Steven Strait has it all -- looks, talent, charisma and a smile to die for. Unfortunately, he can't save 'Undiscovered.'
Undiscovered promotes one of the stupidest visions of the entertainment industry since American Idol opened the celebrity gateway to the dregs of the karaoke generation.
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.
Undiscovered 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 CriticAn Ashlee Simpson vehicle disguised as a 2-hour episode of Fame.
While the camera cannot stay still, the plot can't get going.
It's "The Heights: The Movie," and who the blazes remembers "The Heights" (besides Jamie Walters' friends and loved ones, of course)?
[F]or younger teens able to buy into the heart on the sleeve emotions, and ignore the things that seem all too obvious to older and more cynical adults.
It's all very tacky, overheated and derivative, like Los Angeles itself.
It's a testament to Simpson's low-key likability that she doesn't stick out in Undiscovered, but instead helps make the film a snug if predictable fit.
Ashlee Simpson only has a supporting role, but she is far and away the best thing about this puerile indie drama.
Soap opera bad...Glitter bad...Avoid at all costs.
I am no fan of Ashlee Simpson, nor of her retarded, buck-toothed sister, but that has nothing to do with my view of this film. It would be just as bad if it were Ashlee-free.
