One of my all time favorites.
Absolutely brilliant
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Okay, first of all let me say that the only reason I wanted to see this movie was so that I could see Justin Timberlake in one of his earliest performances. This movie was terrible. The plot? Terrible. The main character? Horribly fugly, annoying, terrible. The acting? Aside from Justin Timberlake's brief appearance, terrible. The pacing? Choppy, terrible. The directing? Awful.This movie was such a huge waste of time. I liked some of the cameos a lot, but it is all wasted in a very uninteresting and boring crappy movie that tries to be intelligent in many ways and fails considerably badly in all of them. The plot was contrived and the characters were all hollow shells. The whole gangster plot element, and a bunch of other nonsensical plot elements were annoying for the most part. NEVER see this movie. It simply gets a 1/10 for the presence of Justin Timberlake. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Did I mention it was horrible?
Okay...this movie was so great at being just terribly ghastly...dreadful..in the words of Simon Cowell. Oh my God, I don't even know where to begin! First of all, I watched this movie because my pal told me that she got it for the cameos, which included people like O-Town, Britney Spears, and NSYNC, which we're fans of. I enjoyed O-Town at the beginning of the movie. I was a fan of Making The Band and I was hooked on it. So it was cool to see O-Town in that setting. It was just like watching Making The Band...almost, except they were acting..or attempting to act. It was great when you think of the rest of the movie. The rest of the cameos...Britney Spears plays a flight attendant. Wow...I guess that was practice for her "Toxic" video..Bah..She plays a flight attendant, has like two lines...Heh..not very memorable, but she looked cute. That was the sane, beautiful Britney we fell in love with...Anyway, then there's the *NSYNC guys...First came Lance with Brit on the plane. It was crap. He had a stupid little one liner with an *NSYNC pun..It was wack. Then came Justin, who was quite funny. He's a funny dude. Then there was JC and Joey.They cracked me up. They had some cool chemistry. And then came Chris which was okay...There were so many boy groups I'd never heard of. Okay, I heard of them but I couldn't tell who was who. They all looked alike. The one that killed me was the Rock. He wasn't advertised on the little DVD cover. I was soo surprised when he popped out as a "mugger" and got beat up by that stupid kid.Why am I wasting my time on this review? The acting sucked. The soundtrack was wack. There is a cheap little part when one of the 'leads' serenades his chick friend. OH HELL NO. Why, oh, why? I mean it was so terrible and painfully corny. I had to fast forward. It wasn't even funny, it was embarrassing. Ugh. The thing that made me sad was that Paul Sorvino was in it! I loved him in GoodFellas...I even loved him in See Spot Run. But LONGSHOT? Crapshot. It was just so sad that he let himself be bought into being in this movie.Lou Pearlman is such a disgusting sleazeball. He was present too many times. He's also not a genius. Sure he put together the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. But he can not put together a good movie. This movie totally lacks heart. It's all a ploy to get poplovers to buy this monkey crap. It lacks heart, actual acting talent, a gripping plot, good dialogue..Ugh. It was a complete waste of my life. It felt like it went on forever. No one should see this movie. NO ONE! It's too awful. I don't recommend it, not even for laughs because it is not funny, with the exception of Justin, JC, and Joey...maybe even the Rock..This movie would suck with or without the cameos...THE CHEETAH GIRLS was probably more enjoyable than this crap.
what r u kidding me? this is the worst movie of all time! no wonder it went straight to video. the acting is terrible, but some, SOME of the cameos work but this movie is still a huge FLOP. and why would a basketball company thing would give 3 million dollars to a random fan???
Dumb, but funny if you're 16 and in love with almost every guy on the screen. Which happens to describe me. It's filled with the dumbest, yet funniest cameos I've seen in a while. If you're up on the songs sang by the people in this, you'll see why "Dumb, but funny..." fits it. Corny lines, but they're so corny they're funny.
