Summary: Enjoyable movie
Review: I so enjoyed watching a movie without mindless violence or sex. There isn't anything new in the plot, but I was fine with that. I loved the singing and dancing. I liked Kelly and Justin on American Idol and I liked them in this movie. This movie was alot like the Gidget and Beach Party movies and I loved all of them. The acting wasn't fantastic but it was refreshing. It's nice to see a movie without profanity. There were plenty of bathing suits but no thong bikinis and they weren't the focal point of the movie. I like seeing a simple, enjoyable movie where I can breathe a sigh of happiness at the end.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not the best
Review: The words to describe this movie are pointless, bad, nosense and anything else that falls in the lame category.It isnt at all hard to see why this movie got so many bad reviews,Thsi movie is a total waste of time Go see Crossroads(with Britney Spears) or Glitter(with Mariah Carey) or even A walk to remember (Mandy Moore) or Gigli (Benifer) before watching this

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Look up pathetic in the dictionary... and the meaning is:
Review: This movie is torture!!!!!!!! I hate American Idol. The idea that a buch of small town, hick losers think they can be the next Britney Spears is the whole point of the show. These people should admit they can't sing and go back to their day jobs at Sonic serving me my tater tots. This film is proof, these two: the cute chick with the nice a@#, and the loser with the stupid hair cut, sing lame songs and act like two retards with no self esteem. Th is is thier prize for winning American Idol. There is abetter to way to go... stay in school. I pray for any body who watsed 8.50 on this garbage, and i feel your pain!

Summary: A Simple & Fun Movie, For A Simple & Fun Time!!
Review: After spending countless hours making fun of Glitter (Mariah Carey's wretched theatrical offering), I picked up "From Justin To Kelly" with the intent of doing the same thing.

But then, a funny thing happened... I Actually Enjoyed The Movie!

I'm 34 years old and fondly remember watching Grease and old Gidget movies with Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello and the gang. And From Justin To Kelly took me back to that time. A time when a movie didn't have to have a really solid plot line, a strong message or anything else. A time when a movie could just be a feel-good, fun fest with lots of good music. More importantly, a fresh film that I can share with my children. This movie is fresh, fun and definitely feel good!

Basic premise: The "Mayor's Of Spring Break" from Philly (Justin & Brad) throw all the wild parties in Florida. Alexa, Kya and Kelly are from Texas and hit the beach for spring break themselves. As everyone is dancing, having a good time and surprisingly adept at the choreography ;o), Justin & Kelly meet and it's Like At First Sight! Unfortunately, Alexa is the jealous type suffering from a lack of positive identity, so she usurps Kelly at every turn to keep Justin away from her. Fortunately, it doesn't work well because Justin and Kelly keep finding each other. And all this while singing really nice songs and innocent dialog. Special mention for Kelly's wardrobe in the film which is really nice.

My recommendation is to definitely get this one, particularly if you have children under the age of 17. From Justin To Kelly is a nice, summer fun film that you can share with your children. And that's something we just don't have much of nowadays.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: From Justin to Kelly: Major Cheese-Fest!
Review: I am a huge fan of American Idol. I am obsessed, and I love Kelly Clarkson. On the show I voted for her about a-gazillion-times. I could not WAIT for the movie to come out!!!! So my friends and I were trying to wait for another rainy day to go see it. Finally it was coming down cats and dogs, and we decided to look in the paper for movie times. And, what do you know, it is not in theaters anymore. After 2 weeks, it didn't make any money and had to be pulled out. That should have been a sign right there. But noooooo, I just couldn't pay attention to the sign... the sign that would tell me that From Justin to Kelly would be one of the worst movies of my young life. So when when From J2K came out on DVD, we were psyched. We all got together at my house, and guess what? THIS WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES EVER! Not because they were trying to be, because it was just SO CHEESY! You can totally tell that everyone is lip-syncing, and, well... it was just corny! And cheesy! It was like corn with cheese on top! It was so bad, that I give it 5 stars for humor! Whenever you are down or insecure, watch this movie. It will make you realize that there are people in the world that are stranger than you... the ones who made this film.

Summary: RANKS AMONG THE WORST EVER
Review: This was a terrible film. Justin and Kelly both proved to the entire world that they can't act and of the two of them, only Kelly has even decent vocal abilities.

Each musical number is slopped between over-acting and horribly written dialogue that fails miserably and meeting its obvious pop-culture savvy intentions.

I've never seen such a poorly pieced together film, and I did - in fact - happen to catch a little film called Spice World. None of the scenes seem to have anything to do anything else and half of the music is irrelevent to the situation.

And I won't even get in to the choreography, so let's just leave it at the fact that this ranks along the likes of Envy, Starsky & Hutch, Spice World, and Gigli with the worst films ever made.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Sun ,Fun &, most importantly, Me
Review: When you were 14 or 15, here's how you wanted to view the world:

You go to Florida for Spring Break. Immediately, everyone else sees that you are IT and all voluntarily become back-up dancers and side-players in your own unfolding drama. You meet the best looking potential mate imaginable. You "connect" with little more than a glance. You dance the night away but then break-up the next day.....he/she's "not who you thought they were". In a resounding rout for all things right and good, you make-up the next day, vow to never part even though you live on opposite sides of the country and end the vacation with a snappy song & dance number by the hotel pool in which all eyes are on you and your handsome soul-mate.....everyone else mimicking your gyrations with such amazing sync that it's almost as if everyone in the world were a mere extension of you and what you're thinking.

Those were the days, were they not? Now, I wouldn't even take my shirt off by a pool, much less imagine starting a gravity-defying group dance and sing-along that no one can resist joining in on. The best scene in this movie was when Justin and Kelly finally got together away from all of their sycophants, got on a white boat with both of them wearing white linen clothing....and yodel their feelings to each other as Justin steered them into a blazing sunset.

I'll have to give this 3 stars on its own merits. Of course, it won't be playing double-feature with The Last Emperor, but it'll give you a much needed reminder that you weren't always the jaded old grouch that you are now....and that's worth 2 of the three stars, right there.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: drbraxy this is the worst
Review: 34,in reality, you're 34 like I am 34. This pre-packaged 'turd' stunk from thought to finish. Comparing this to Grease, wake up. This dvd on its very best day can be thought of, as well, a utter useless (let be bend over...pause...and dump) crap. If anyone buys this........I have two hookers that like to tongue bum for 1 buck! This dvd STINKS

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you liked "Glitter", you'll LOVE this movie!
Review: This one time my wife made a Moraccan stew that had a whole lot of garbanzo beans in it, and my abdomen swelled up with gas so badly, I writhed in pain for hours as I waited to expel the noxious waste from my system. I had hoped to never experience that kind of discomfort ever again. Unfortunately... well, I'm sure you can see where this is going.
Imagine a production of "Grease" performed by the cast of "Saved by the Bell", and you'll have a good idea of-..... Hey, that actually sounds pretty good by comparison...
Someone call Hollywood! I'm gonna be a millionaire!
