Rent the film for a laugh at boy bands, not to be scared
PLOT: When the hottest boy band in the country is looking for a new lead singer, a national contest is held. One of the top three picks, Shawn, is a rebellious rock star who hates boy bands and is only in the completion because his girlfriend, Stacy (Ryan Starr from American Idol) pushes him into it. Stacy, Shawn, and the other two finalists are taken to the bands remote island where they are tested to see who will win. However, it becomes apparent that not all is as it seems to be and this boy band has a dark side.UPS and DOWNS: The ups are that this movie is hilarious. The idea of boy bands being sinister is nothing new, just get one of Backstreet's songs stuck in your head and you'll be thinking they must report directly to Satan. Another up is that most of the actors seem to have been chosen on looks alone, so they're easy to look at. The downs are that because they were chosen based just on looks, the acting is terrible. The best actor/actress in the movie is Adrienne Barbeau, the rest are terrible. The `plot' has more holes than Swiss cheese.Over all, if you're looking for a good laugh, especially if pop music ISN'T your thing, this is a fun movie.
