2 hours of your life you'll never get back

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2006)

I honestly don't know what I was thinking going to this movie on opening night. Oh yeah... because the trailers were incredibly misleading. It was like an entirely different film. My motivation was pretty much based on that fine white boy from Coach Carter... who now has a new name ; Spaz McNoact. That boy should just not open his pretty mouth.
Let me sum up the entirety of the film. Take the acting from you got served, add the dancing from the rejects on So You Think You Can Dance, and add the plot holes from... lets say... The Jacket. If you don't commit to a role, then you come off as a phony. That doesn't even begin to describe the cast of this Jem. It was uninspired, extremely forced to a point where I became uncomfortable, and topped off with lazy, lazy acting. The filmmaker tried to squeeze every possible storyline into the film without making any sort of believable or understandable connection. Conflict and drama were produced out of thin air leading to a rushed and calculated ending.
I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but i honestly feel cheated. I sat there wondering if I was hallucinating this entire film and was thinking up ways to get my money back. People aren't that thick. Filmmakers should give them a little more credit than this. And if they enjoyed it... well. Congrats... you can also tie your shoes? Hideous, hideous film. Ridiculous storylineactingdancing. I want my money back. I want my two hours back.
