From bad to worse
21 June 2003
Wow, I can't believe I just sat through this. Being an American Idol fan, I was sort of looking forward to this film. I enjoy listening to Kelly Clarkson sing and thought it might be fun to see an update of the 50's beach party movies. But....Ugh!!! So much for wholesome entertainment. The script was so corny and lame that I continually cringed in my seat at the poor attempts at humor and the bad acting. At least if the film had the sense to make fun of itself....but it played it completely straight. Every character was a cardboard cutout. It was like watching a G rated version of a bad teen sex comedy from the 80's And Justin Guarini as the Big Man of spring break? I don't know, I find him so vain and obnoxious and totally ineffective as a leading man. Aren't his 15 minutes up yet? Kelly, tries to get through the movie despite her lack of chemistry with Justin, and hopefully will get through this fiasco without it hurting her career. I still like her...but please Kelly, stick to singing. I give this film 2/10 for a couple of decent songs and dance numbers. Note to Clay and Ruben: if AI producers offer you both a film together, run as fast as you can!
