Reviews for Undiscovered
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.
03/06/07
Top CriticAlthough 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 CriticLike, sigh!
08/31/05
Top CriticA PG-13 dramedy set in L.A. about some attractive, way-too-earnest aspiring stars has the potential to be a delectable good-bad favorite, but Undiscovered is nowhere near the guilty pleasure it could have been.
08/30/05
Top CriticComedy, romance and rock performance are spliced into a curious mediocrity.
08/26/05
Top CriticUndiscovered just may be the dumbest movie of 2005.
08/26/05
Top CriticShe's a model. He's a rocker. Worlds apart! How will these two crazy kids ever get together?
08/26/05
Top CriticUndiscovered is a film about a great songwriter, and it contains horrible songwriting.
08/26/05
Top CriticWhen Hollywood suits conduct their autopsy on what went wrong at the box office this summer, they may wish to exhume the corpse of Undiscovered for a closer inspection. If they can stand the stench.
08/26/05
Top CriticAs a cautionary drama on the price of fame, Undiscovered could not tread on more exhaustively discovered territory, and the result is a reel-by-reel trail of cliches.
08/26/05
Top CriticTyson, a brown and white English bulldog, has his own Web site, which offers clips of the eager fireplug flying down the street on his skateboard. In other words, you don't have to endure this dreadful movie to see him in action.
08/26/05
Top CriticThis is a movie in which we're expected to buy Ashlee Simpson as a singer on the threshold of becoming a major star. That's an idea so ridiculous it could never happen in fiction, only in real life.
08/26/05
Top CriticAll this silliness swirls around for about an hour and a half and then you get to leave the theater. Unless you're being held there at gunpoint. And really, that's about the only excuse for being in a theater watching this thing in the first place.
08/26/05
Top CriticIncidentally, Simpson is pretty good, playing Luke and Briar's spunky pal. But her inoffensive goodness is a symptom of the movie's relentless homogeneity.
08/26/05
Top CriticStrangely for a film about music, Undiscovered lacks any spark or energy. Originality also is out of the question; after all, this is a movie that climaxes with one love-struck character racing after another at an airport.
08/25/05
Top CriticShould have no trouble living up to its title at the boxoffice.
08/25/05
Top CriticUndiscovered is the kind of elliptical romance in which any scenes of substance (say, where the lovebirds get to know one another or have an actual conversation) have been omitted to clear space for the music video montages.
08/25/05
Top CriticSet in Los Angeles among a group of young people who dream of becoming famous, Undiscovered carries more than a whiff of the self-referential.
