| User ReviewAmanda HThere are things about this movie that are absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately, there's a lot in between that drags and brings the good stuff down. Overall, though, this was enjoyable. The acting is cheesy and it's obviously low-budget, but since it's satire, that adds to its appeal. If you've ever been a fan of boybands and can appreciate some good-natured humor, you'll probably like this. |
