The Naked Brothers Band - Junge Rockstars privat

The Naked Brothers Band was a 2005 indie movie that, well, sucked. Nickelodeon was out of their mind and agreed to turn the movie into an equally bad show. The main focus of the show is obviously the band, but you have to wonder how they get a show when the lead singer sounds like he hasn't developed at all and the instrumentalists are mediocre. It really raises an eyebrow when you find out that the drummer and singer are the producer's kids, but anywhom...

Each episode is compromised of some wacky situation the 8-14 year old kids get into. Almost every one of said scenarios ties into the "I won't admit it" relationship between the 11-year-old singer and the high school-aged bassist, the lone female of the group. You have to admit, what they've got going for them is actually pretty sweet and you'll find yourself rooting for them on occasion - but of course, cringe-worthy lines such as "No, I love YOU, Rosalina!" said to a video on a camcorder of said girl ruin it all.

An important question to ask is who IS this show's target audience? The show has crude humor and slapstick for the 4-7 year olds and sitcom situations leaning more towards the 8-11 Hannah Montana crowd, but the show's mildly sexual inappropriateness is too much for both of those age groups. And the show airs on Nickelodeon's TEENick block but it is far too juvenile for said group. Whoever this show is intended for, I highly doubt they would enjoy it, even in an age where bands like the Jonas Brothers are force-fed to young children by the media. The Naked Brothers Band rates as a 2 out of 10.

I think that maybe people are sort of losing sight of the fact that this is a child's television series. I understand that they are not very good actors, and that the writing may not be up to codes when referring to what most adults like to watch these days. But I figure that as long as the children whom it is designed for are enjoying what is being put out. Why should adults degrade it? All three of my nephews, and two nieces throughly enjoy tuning in and watching the episodes over again. Because all in all, I'm fairly certain that the people at 'Nick' don't really concern themselves with the enjoyment of adults. The children are their main concern. So if you don't like it, then don't watch. It is truly as simple as that.

I try not to be nasty when I write reviews, but my utter hatred of The Naked Brothers Band clouds my better judgement. It is not only one of my least favourite shows ever, it is my least favourite show of all time period. The production values for one thing are really cheap. The fashions look as though they belong in the 70s or 80s and they are really bad fashions at that, while the sets are tacky and cheap and the photography and camera angles are rushed and shoddy.

Even the music is poor in my opinion. The theme tune is just fast in tempo and loud in volume, with nothing really to make it memorable, whereas the accompanying music is half-heartedly performed, unoriginal and dull. But it is the writing, characters and stories that sink The Naked Brothers Band. Starting with the writing, not only is it for me never funny but also it is written with no heart or energy.

The stories are poorly paced and predictable with unimaginative situations. Not only that, the show often has the feel of a really bad reality show. And I hate all the characters, every single one of them. In my mind, none of them are likable, instead they are loud, annoying, clichéd and little more than bland stereotypes. Even their names make me want to punch the wall in frustration.

The direction is often lazy too, while the acting is poor with no chemistry whatsoever between the actors, no sense of comic timing and poorly judged delivery of the lines. Overall, an awful show and one of my least favourite shows ever. If I were you, I would skip this and watch something like Sonny with a Chance instead. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Not only is this some of the worst acting I've ever seen by a bunch of little kids, but it's the worst acting coupled with the terrible so-called "rock music" that makes this a crappy show. It seemed like most of the humor was way too contrived and one-sided for even children to enjoy (I mean "cement grapes", come on!). Don't get me wrong, these kids have potential musically, but just because they're young and can play four chords over and over again doesn't mean they should get more publicity than a possible cast of truly talented slightly older musicians. This could've potentially been a decent movie/series had the kids hit puberty (the singers voice is unbearable) and if they played some decent music, unlike that mainstream pop wannabe rock that they're playing.

I think this show appeals to grown-ups and girls more than kids and boys. The show contains horrible and cheesy jokes with some crazy kids thinking that their funny.

Some people think their cute and I think their cute too but I don't think they should make a show about something like this.

I mean, a show about a bunch of kids who have a bad taste in music and plays brainwashing stuff. The genre of music they play just wreaks for today's teens and preteens.
