 2/5 |
Call us cynical, but isn't there something just a tiny bit iffy about three sworn virgins performing a rock show in which the climax has them shooting gallons of white "party" foam over their adoring girl fans? Full Review |

2/4 |
...the film boasts a preaching-to-the-converted vibe that effectively holds newcomers at arm's length throughout. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
canned and created by committee Full Review |

1/4 |
Fascinating only for the opportunity to observe the mesmerizing effect of a well-rehearsed, mass seduction on an auditorium filled with willing, adoring girls. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
As sunglasses and guitar picks fly...and mics and pointing drumsticks thrust out of the screen, it's a sort of metaphor for the whole film (and the band it captures) to ponder which effects are "real" and which are manufactured in a computer. [Blu-ray] Full Review |

The music is unmemorable, the staging conventional, the connection between religious and sexual ecstasy very evident.

2/5 |
This does pretty much what it says on the tin, though the interactive “3D” element does introduce a twist of sorts. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Hate the songs. What a lot of hair they have. Don't ask me the names. Full Review |

|
1/6 |
The songs wash over in waves of such turgid mediocrity that by the end you’re praying for it to stop. Thankfully, after 76 minutes, it does – and all is well again. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
This personality vacuum is a real problem in a film that purports to depict a day in the life of young pop stars whom audiences can actually relate to. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The movie, sadly, perpetuates the corporate myth that they are musical tyros, boyband savants and the sweetest virgins in the business. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
It’s A Hard Day’s Night all over again, except nobody has bothered to write the brothers some funny dialogue. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
This TV-special-sized feature comprises songs from the trio's recent Burning Up tour, along with gobbets of behind the scenes action. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
It's a trite cash-in designed to empty pockets, lazily slapped together with concert footage and phoney fly-on-the-wall snippets. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
This may be three dimensional poison for Jonas-hating curmudgeons but it's unlikely that any of the band's fans will be asking for their money back. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
With their fresh-faced image, it’s hard not to snigger when they start spraying the audience with foam guns… Insert your own Freudian interpretation here. Full Review |
||
|
5/10 |
Is it any good? That really all depends on whether you’re a fan of the Jonas Brothers. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The tunes are so bland it could be the same song on a loop, while the performances are spirited but nondescript. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
This toe-curling dip into the sickly-sweet musical world of the Jonas brothers is innocuous and dull. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Accompanying parents can don blindfolds and ear-plugs and indulge in the sweet fantasy that they are somewhere, anywhere, else. Full Review |
