Reviews for Undiscovered
When 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.

Top CriticMisunderstandings, hurt feelings and anguished love songs follow.
08/26/05
As 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 CriticUndiscovered is a pack of romantic nonsense arranged to suit a pre-teen audience.
08/26/05
Well, at least it doesn't look like a music video...props for that.

Tyson, 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.

Top CriticAnyone who has an actual interest in filmmaking or music would be best served by staying far, far away.

All 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.

Incidentally, 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 CriticIt'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.

What can you say about a movie where a skateboard-riding bulldog has the best lines of dialogue?
08/26/05
[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.
08/26/05
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.
08/26/05
Can somebody tell me why we're supposed to care about these one-dimensional MTV-spawned caricatures? Writer John Galt and director Meiert Avis sure haven't offered any clues.
08/26/05
After a promising start, the script begins to sound like it was written by little girls playing Barbies.
08/25/05
Strangely 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.
