The Biggest Fan

I know I would've loved this movie when it came out becuase this was exactly what I was into back then. But I didn't even know it existed until I saw it on Prime Video. I could tell it would be terrible, but I watched it anyway for nostalgia sake if nothing else.

So let's put it this way. It's a good movie for its time of early 2000's when boy bands were still a big deal and these sorts of movies were the rage. That's why I would've loved it because I loved boy bands, and still do.

It reminded me of my own little daydreams when I used to wish some big celebrity would knock me off my feet and fall in love with me.

That's why I'm giving it 5 stars because of the nostalgia and the reminder of a time when life was easier. When you could get little 'squee' moments out of a movie like this. When movies weren't so PC.

However it doesn't age well. At all. Watching it in 2023 definitely made me cringe. The acting is terrible. The songs are corny. There is barely a plot.

But I did love the trip down nostalgia lane, so there you go.

I thought the movie was absolutely amazing. Chris is such a great actor, and Kaila did great as well! The plot was so good! I definitely think that everyone should see this movie. Two thumbs up! I can't believe this was Kaila's first acting job! She was so professional. I like the fact that all of the Dream Street members made cameos in the movie. I love the part when the guys all sang "With All My Heart". I absolutely love that song, and it fit the movie so well. I went and saw the movie with my sister and a few friends, and we all thought that the movie was so great. I think that the plot of the movie is so easy to relate to. It makes the movie more believable in my opinion. Altogether great movie!

Let me just start by saying that I had no knowledge of Dream Street's existence until 3 months ago, I just never new about them, but I've at least known about Jesse McCartney as a solo artist for a long time. I started checking out their music videos, live performances, and interviews, and it surprises me that Jesse ended up being the breakout star of the group. Why? Because after seeing that Chris Trousdale was the ultimate favorite member, I find it weird that he didn't become the most successful member. I enjoy Dream Street's music, and I wish I had known about them when I was a little kid. Now, I had only seen parts of this movie, and that was enough for me to know that it sucks, and that it's just a cheap, boring, predictable chick flick, and the fact that Chris Trousdale was playing himself just proves that he has no acting ability. I already know how this plays out, and this kind of story has been used so many times that it just bores you out, and the girl Debbie(Kaila Amariah) has such an annoying and grating voice, it's so sickening and makes you feel like punching her in the face, and the overall premise is so corny. The only good thing about it was probably the soundtrack, which primarily consisted of Dream Street songs, and a few other various artists such as Swedish pop girl group Play, but even so, the soundtrack isn't worth buying. Why? Because it'll end up being a waste of money, especially if you already own Dream Street's album. Another thing I gotta say about this is that how the hell did Pat Morita get roped in to this nonsense, I mean it's sad that he agreed to be apart of this movie. That's all I gotta say about this movie, it's not worth anyone's time. 2/10

I saw this film, "The Biggest Fan" twice, once in Cannes and once in L.A. Both were "Sneak Peaks" before the film is to be released to the public, so some changes will still be made. It is already a very good family film, with its main audience being young teen and preteen girls, especially those into "boy bands." The first audience I watched it with was all adults and the second in L.A. was predominantly teens. The second screening had strong audible reactions from the mostly young female audience. The actress playing the female lead was excellent and the male lead, a member of the boy band "Dream Street" also gave a great performance. In the supporting cast there were a lot of familiar faces from many feature films and TV series. I am very interested to see how this film is received once it hits the theaters.

The reason why I have headed this rating "Good But Disappointing" is because I felt that ALL the Dream Street members would have actually had some lines in the movie and not just Chris Trousdale.

Chris Trousdale, 17 at the time of the film, is a talented young man with a lot of potential to make it into anything that he puts his mind to. I am huge fan of Dream Street and being from the UK am also one of few who have actually heard of Dream Street.

Each character, in my opinion, played completely different roles, all of which were played very well, especially Chris's and Kayla's. I must say that I most enjoyed the two cops who were very amusing and also the kid who played Garfield was also a joy to watch.

Overall, I felt that is was a great film with a little more work to be done on the story line.

Thanks for reading.
