Popstar

Honestly, the only reason I picked up this movie from Blockbuster was because Aaron Carter was in it. Okay first thing's first. Do you notice how ugly Aaron Carter has become?? I mean, he used to be so cute but now..with that lanky body and blotchy skin - EW. I think he should stick with singing and the directors of the movie could've found a much better-looking guy who could lip-sync. No offense though. I thought this teen movie was majorly lame - and this is coming from me, being a teen myself. The 'mean girls' in there are oh-so predictable, the acting is so amateurish it makes you cringe at times (especially from Aaron) and overall I just didn't enjoy it. Although, I give out points for the storyline - that was alright, but not at all realistic. Anyway, stay away from this movie by all means you can unless you happen to have wads of cash on hand and have absolutely nothing better to do with 94 minutes of your time. It's not worth the $6.50!!

(P.S; this review of mine may not be applicable to younger kids under the age of 13!)

Not much else to say except.... it's not good. Everyone who knows me are aware that I don't like Aaron Carter at all. However, I watched this with an open mind because hey, maybe it's a good movie! But after watching this, I can say with confidence, it's not good! I think the only people who thoroughly enjoy this movie are Aaron Carter fans and maybe some kids/pre teens. Other than that, I can imagine any adult just sitting down to watch this and enjoy it.

It's so repetitive to any other teen movie about a pop star going to school. It's so beyond predictable. And that's not even my biggest complaint!

The acting is horrendous! Seems like any time a scene ends, someone either sighs or laughs or shakes their head before walking off camera. The acting is so bad, something that could be funny or maybe heart felt is completely throw out the window because of the acting.

Jane's braces was the cherry on top of this garbage film. I've never had braces, but a lot of my friends and family had them growing up.. And I've NEVER seen anyone with braces that looked like that. And no one I've ever met with braces talked like that. I spent most of my time watching this movie, trying to figure out what she was even saying!

Overall, this movie is trash. Hey, if you like it, to each their own. But I could name off a list movies that are not good at all, but are academy award winning films compared to this!

How dumb is this movie, and the producer? He had Adrianne Palicki and Mary Elise Hayden in the movie, yet had his daughter play the lead! (Adrianne was mostly unknown at the time). It may have been his daughter's last movie role? There weren't many entries after it.

What really stood out to me about this movie was how little the plot made sense. So many characters were randomly introduced, it was like how I imagine Tommy Wiseau's "THE ROOM" would be re-envisioned for the Disney Channel set. We had the wise elderly couple who kept on hanging out where "Jane" worked, telling the same story about how "soda" brought them together, or Jane's Mom/Stepmom/random crying woman who would all show up at random times.

Aaron Carter's acting is definitely the highlight of this film: I actually looked forward to every scene he appeared in. The editing is painfully bad, with scene cuts that make no sense. The "Jane" character is really irritating, mooning about and moping about "J.D. McQueen." The scenes with the "Music Awards" are more depressing than anything else. And the ending of this movie is surreal.

This film goes, without saying, in my list of films that need to be censored. This is why the Soviets monopolized the economy, to prevent garbage like this from showing up. I hope that they put this review on the 2027 APUSH DBQ regarding the different perspectives and opinions on American Culture in the early 2000s. I feel sorry for the APUSH students because that's worse than the 2015 AP European History DBQ about French national identity and culture in the 1960s. 99% of the 5s and about 79% of the ignorant masses would put this review in "The people who knew what they were talking about" grouping (we all know that by this time, the College Board will preassign groupings). The moral of this... hypothesis... is that American culture is threatened by this garbage. The American dream is in danger of this nightmare, and we need to purge this impurity from our culture before we raise a generation of patrons of this garbage.
