    Made me want to weep.....

    The only people i would recommend this film to are both blind and deaf, although i'm sure a sadomasochist would get a kick out of it. This film had nothing; no acting, terrible music, awful script- only the power to suck any happiness from your soul. You may be wondering by now why or even how i managed to sit through the full hour and a half of sheer inanity, and it is honestly a difficult concept for even myself. Firstly, i had to pace up and down as the film progressed as i found it extremely hard to get comfortable. Secondly, i only made it without gnawing off my own arm in order to have something to beat myself to death with by phoning friends for moral support when the plot became particularly slow. The problem was it became a matter of pride for me to finish it after the opening thirty minutes, and that was a fatal error on my behalf. I normally like films to leave you with something by the end, but all this did was take..... For the sake of your sanity do not watch this film.

    What The F*** Did I Just Watch??

    I do like a cheesy teen movie sometimes, and today I was in that sort of mood. But... what the hell was THIS???

    What did I do wrong in my past life to bring this atrocity into my current live!? It was literally unwatchable!

    The only movie in this genre that I could say is worse than this, is "Pledge This!" with Paris Hilton. And that says a lot, doesn't it?

    Maybe, since Aaron Carter failed at being a pop-star in real life, he wanted to at least have the chance to ACT like one, but... he can't bloody act! No one in this lame excuse for a movie can.

    It's not even "so bad it's funny"; it's the opposite - so bad, it's NOT funny.

    Jeez, how does this kind of horse-s*** get approved to enter the public domain? It should be illegal to release something like this without a suitable warning!

    I'm not a teen, but I can't imagine how even the dumbest of teens could possibly enjoy something THIS lame... Hell, not even the learning disabled, I don't think.

    This is what modern culture has come to.

    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.

    Am I surprised? No.

    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!

    A plot that makes no sense...

    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.

      When Jane looks up "Testophobia", it's clearly shown in the address bar that the website she's visiting is located in her "C" drive (this means that it's not a real site, it's a site that was created for the movie).
