Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Grotesque_Sphinx I watched this film because i like the leading actor, and I gotta see him shirtless in this movie. HahaThe film turned out not as bad as I expected, but it's still bad though. About this guy who's struggling to become a singer. Kind of like the male version of Crossroad to me. The story's cheesy, predictable...Hey, what do you expected? Although I kinda like Kip Pardue's character. At least he gave a wacky air onto the storyI'm glad Ashlee Simpson didn't play a major character. Her character doesn't contribute much to the story anyway. It'll go on without her. Except...surprise...surprise...she sang on the end of the movie. The title of the song? Undiscovered of course
noizyme Undiscovered was a typical romance drama/coming-of-age film for 20-something's with no backbone or intrigue. I watched it for Shannyn Sossamon because she's played these great characters in the past with very little going on in their lives, but in this film, she's this Brazilian model-type who seems very much in the wrong film (the character does anyways).I don't know what US Weekly was smoking when they proclaimed on the back of the DVD "Ashlee Simpson shines as a punky inspiring singer-actress." Simpson was basically playing a girl with no real depth and a horrible nasal voice. I do however believe in what the New York Post said about Pell James, that "(she) is adorable and winsome, she's a romantic star in the making." She might be a not-so-well-known actress, but she was a well cast lead girl for this film. But the main "dude," Steven Strait, is just a big baby with too much of his heart on his shoulder, and his knack for writing lame songs in the movie just puts the character in the ground.I really only liked a few things about the movie. 1) Carrie Fisher. She hasn't been in a whole lot of films as of late, so it was good to see her as a lead role in the model/actress' career. 2) The chick fight in the Viper Room scene. That's always killer. And 3) The small joke about the main singer guy having arachnophobia (told by his agent at Tantra Records).The rest of the film has been done before by better actors. There was boring music (which consisted of acoustic sets and U2 ripoff songs), a ridiculous back and forth love story which makes you want to turn the DVD off ahead of time, the dude acting like a baby through most of the film because he finds out that his contract was helped out by Brier (the main girl) and it wasn't because of his lame songs, and there was even a ridiculous chant that the Tantra Records' associates go into after deleting this guy from the label. I really didn't get the line when she calls up this musician guy and adds "I know. This is borderline stalking you." Hello? He's been obsessing about you the whole movie, not the other way around.I had to give the film a 3/10. It was shot well, but their was no driving force that kept my attention to the screen without reminding me of how much of a cable TV movie this is. I hope this was just made to give Ashlee Simpson a film career because if the writer really felt depth in this script, I would start to lose hope in the future of film.
Anonymous192 After reading a review on this film, which described the plot and acting as mediocre, and the cinematography poor, I must agree in part and disagree in part. While the movie was definitely not Shakespeare, it was definitely competitive with other films of its genre. In fact, as the plot dealt with a different side of fame, one that I don't think has been done before, it was therefore not a derivative, a common complaint of films. To the contrary, the plot was different, the acting very good especially from young and inexperienced actors, and the characters sympathetic. The story also provided some wisdom: messages, if you will, to be gleaned by more scrutinizing viewers. My sole problem with the film, and this can be remedied if one were to rent the full-screen version of the DVD, is the abysmal cinematography! I rent many movies and have never seen such a poorly edited film. The heads of the characters in almost every scene were cut off, the close-ups only got half of one character at times, and as far as background was concerned, that was nearly never included. This is particularly regretful as every actor in the film is remarkably attractive and it was almost impossible to see him or her! Thus, my recommendation is to see this film: enjoy the story, acting, and good-looking actors, but if you rent the DVD and not the VHS, make sure you get the full-screen version.
T_Man this is a review for anyone who doesn't care that ashlee simpson is in the movie or what it made at the box office and just want a movie to rent because they are bored.with that being said i found this movie entertaining. there was no point that i felt like i wanted to turn it off or watch another movie. i paid four bucks to rent it, do i regret it? no. i rented the movie despite the negative reviews because most of the people commenting on it had not seen it.the performance of the lead actress is effective but nothing special. i think its a crime they had shannyn sossamon cast for the movie and used her as the worst character in the entire movie. she could have been much better in the lead role. ashlee simpson was fine in the movie. she wasn't great but she was just really in a sidekick role, nothing demanding.the plot was good enough to keep my interest, the music was really good so i'm probably going to investigate the soundtrack and the direction was music video-esquire, i guess you can decide for yourself if that is a plus or a minus.so overall if you like movies that can be classified as 'cute' but aren't corny, if your someone who watches the OC on occasion or if you are just looking for a movie with feeling but isn't too heavy then i say go for undiscovered.
