I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

How sad is this?

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Don't get me wrong I do love comedy and there are some teen comedy shows I do like, even they are not perfect, but Jonas just doesn't do anything for me. The concept wasn't one that appealed to me initially but I went ahead and watched it out of curiosity. What I don't like about Jonas is that I just can't connect to any of the characters, I find them clichéd. The female lead is cute but nothing else beyond that. The acting is pretty dire in my opinion, I don't like the Jonas Brothers, never did, and Jonas did nothing to change my negative opinion on them. The writing is unfunny with jokes that are as painfully clichéd as the characters, the stories are really predictable and the music is forgettable. Maybe the production values aren't too bad, but they are nothing special so nothing stands out. All in all, I tried to give it a fair shot, but sorry I just don't like this show. 1/10 Bethany Cox

First off, let me start by saying I am a 27 year old elementary teacher. I constantly hear talk about the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana from my students so I decided to see what all the fuss was about one lazy Sunday afternoon. I found myself laughing out loud. I must confess that the show has made me a fan. I had not heard any of their music or knew anything about them prior to watching their show. Now I love them. I find them charming and entertaining. The show reminds me of being a kid and being able to turn on the TV and not be bombarded by hate, anger, or drama. The show is fun and innocent. I love that each brother gets the opportunity to display his personality. As for their acting, I find them to have great chemistry with each other and they are very natural in front of the camera. Kevin is classic and I look forward to watching him in the episodes. I cannot wait for season two to start!

I think this show has gotten too much criticism from people who dislike the Jonas Brothers. It needs to be kept in mind that JONAS was meant to be a kids' show targeted at fans of the boys. At best, JONAS is a kid friendly comedy sure to draw in young and old fans alike. I won't trash it - this is just my opinion. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Jo Bros, but I am a fan of the Disney Channel in general. I'm eighteen years old and I still love watching shows like The Suite Life and Wizards. They have appealing, original characters, and the situations, while unbelievable, are engaging and creative. It's easy to get attached to the characters and their world. While I appreciate JONAS as a children's show, I think it lacks those qualities. The situations are used, the humor is trite, and the characters (particularly Macy and Stella) are stereotypical and shallow. It's just my opinion, but I find nothing engaging about their situations. In the last episode I watched the plot revolved around Joe accidentally dying their clothing blue. I was hoping for at least one laugh, but I was instead disappointed by a parade of unfunny jokes. If you're a fan of Joe, Kevin, and Nick, then I'm sure you'll enjoy JONAS. But if you're simply looking for a quality Disney comedy, I would not suggest this one.

Disney channel shows have really never been very good. They suffer from horrible jokes that only little kids with yet to be developed brains will find amusing, such as Hannah Montana's " (Insert name here) say what?!" Surprisingly, this show doesn't have too many moments with bad jokes. The show is fast paced, and though it is really stupid, the jokes aren't particularly corny, or bad for that matter. They're just extremely stupid.The Lucas brothers (Played by the Jonas brothers) are fictional characters in a band called Jonas (named after their street). All three brothers go to a private school, and get into wacky mischief. Kevin Jonas is the oldest, and definitely the dumbest on the show. Usually he is the comic relief type. Joe Jonas is generally the center of attention on the program, but he's also an idiot. Nick Jonas is the straight man, who's role seems to be getting angry at the other two. It's kind of a dumbed down three stooges act.The brothers give surprisingly good performances, with Kevin and Joe showing off their comedic acting skills with fairly good timing. Nick is the straight man, and possibly too reserved for his own good. But the three of them give decent enough performances. The other main characters are the guys' schoolyard chum and costume designer Stella (Chelsea Staub), who is an alright character, and then we have Macy (Nicole Gale Anderson), who is a creepy and annoying fan girl. Don't much care for the character, as she's on the borderline between okay, and Hannah Montana humor.The jokes on the show are better than typical Disney. They are somewhat remnant of the type of joke on Even Stevens. It's goofy, but somewhat entertaining, perhaps because of the performances. It's really hard to describe why this is alright, and what every other current Disney show isn't. The lack of laugh track is a plus. The performances are better. The timing is more on. The show is clearly not meant to be realistic at all, but it has a small bit of realism to it. It's clear no one is taking anything seriously, and it's played off as a sort of alternate jokey reality. It's difficult to explain...The show is just a breath of fresh air, considering how bad every other Disney channel show is. Even this one isn't very good, and it's still the channel's best. It's one that possibly parents won't cringe at, and one that has some small bit of value, that makes it at least watchable and maybe even somewhat entertaining.My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 30 mins.
