Charming and brutal

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I watched this movie not ever knowing it was based on a cartoon series. Maybe it should not be compared to the cartoon and be evaluated on its own merit. Ok, we can almost pretty much ignore the 1st 48 minutes. The truth about this movie is that I love 4 songs and it's actually the soundtrack that makes this movie a 9 for me. I love everytime these girls perform a song and the movie should concentrate on that. The first great song is 48 minutes in and called We Got Heart performed under what looks like a boardwalk, the next song is 55 minutes in called Youngblood and c'mon who in their right mind would not have loved to be at that concert in The Open Air Club. Awesome that performers can just grab a guitar off the wall and complete a performance.The most powerful performance comes at 1:13 into the movie called The Way I Was. Great lighting, and Aubrey Peeples can sing. Very powerful performance. Finally the last song at 1:43 into the movie called I'm still here. Someone tell me that you wouldn't have killed to be in the audience. I agree with another editor that said editing is needed. I agree. When you watch someone on stage performing do not branch off to Internet, showing clips, during the clips I find myself trying to listen to Aubrey Peeples sing the song. The Internet clips are all low quality anyway and tend to distract from the performances. I find myself FF through this movie just to listen to the performances and songs. Loved Molly Ringwold's performance, a mother or Aunt you would love to have.

i thought this movie was great and gave viewers a fresh look at a old and classic cartoon. the story was cool and i also thought the actors did a good job in their roles and with the singing too. i also loved the costumes and makeup. i also thought the treasure hunt for the pieces to synergy was a cool aspect of the movie as well. All in all, this was and is an awesome movie that i think everyone should see.

I grew up in the 80's and Jem and the Holograms was my FAVORITE cartoon to watch. That and My Little Pony/The Moon Dreamers. I recorded every episode on VHS, had pink wigs, posters, the dolls, and the roaster which was way better then my Barbie pink Corvette! I can admit that I was excited that they were making a Jem movie, but was a little upset when I saw the trailer. But I gave the movie a chance anyway. Then I realized it wasn't meant to appeal to my generation, but the generation of our children and I really liked it! I feel my generation shot it down to soon and failed it before even seeing it. The actors who played the young all girl rock group were in my opinion very likable. The movie was good and catchy. I admit I did buy a few songs off of iTunes. "I'll go but I won't go quietly. Go down but I'll go down fighting..." was nicely written and I loved the live performance. I really think this movie should have had a better chance and I'd be more then happy to help give it a second chance and really hype it up!! It was funny, cute, stylish and I loved Aubrey Peeples as Jem. She had an amazing voice and is a good young actress.

As a small-town girl catapults from underground video sensation to GLOBAL superstar, she and her three sisters begin a journey of discovering that some talents are too special to keep hidden. As much as this kind of movies are not my taste and it's true that this film is more Hanna Montana rather than Jem and the Holograms i still don't get it how this movie got a 4.0/10 here in IMDb i don't think it's amazing or has some of the greatest acting skills in the history of cinema but i liked the girls and they had a really good chemistry together and i liked that they tried to send a message to their fans although at times it did get a bit way too far with that one but in the end it wasn't that bad but it's more of an one time watch kind of a film.
