It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I did like the movie but primarily the parts which screened Hunter Tylo. Considering this is tylo's only movie, I would definitely recommend her fans to watch it. Well to be fair the acting sucked. This is the only movie which features Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears (air hostess!) and The Rock! But the screen just lights up when Tylo comes on.For anybody who is expecting anything more than a plot which befits a grade school story book, this shall turn out to be disappointing. Actually the numerous cameos by celebrities like JT are pretty hilarious, and try their best to make up for the perennially weeping look adorned by Joey Sculthorpe in his attempted romantic and sensitive look. Jen Morris is actually pretty OK and spicy in her role. But of course the movie centers around Tylo and i give the director credit for not forgetting what his assets are :)

this movie is painfully funny, a ridiculous plot, that i won't give justice by explaining and a cast of "the pearlman pals" a.k.a any popular pop band of 2000, not to mention washed up celebs (that guy from kc and the sunshine band, kenny roastin rodgers, and jermaine not that famous jackson), but the greatest cameo of all is the rock in his breakthrough role as a mugger, a mugger who is decimated by a 18 year old boy with a pony tail, it's just histarical, rent this movie with no hope at all, but if you want to just laugh a brutal laughter buy it. 10 out of 10 and i'm not even on drugs.

The brainchild of the man behind boy band pop star acts NSync and O-Town, Lou Pearlman's glossy, technicolor project offers an incoherent plot, a bunch of pointless cameos, and washed up actors and actresses compiled into a film that is as fulfilling and has the same amount of "staying power" as Pearlman's pop acts. What other film stars Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, The Rock, and Gilbert Goffried?? This is a sad sad piece of work. Worth to rent if you're getting drunk or high and want to make fun of a movie with friends. The only reason I rented this was to hear the song played during the car chase scene that was by a local band from my town--one of the only songs that doesn't resonate with an unforgettable pop tone.

I'll admit it-- I rented this movie for the *NSYNC cameos. And I'd say that they were the only good part of the film, but--considering I resorted to watching the entire thing in fast forward after the first 10 minutes of cinematic torture, scoping out the *NSYNC parts as I went--I might not be totally fit to comment.On a good note, *NSYNC's cameos--especially those by Chris, JC, and Joey--are light and funny.On a bad note, the rest of the film is absolute garbage.If you didn't think Lou Pearlman sucked before watching this movie, you will afterwards. In fact, much like *NSYNC, you'll want to sue Big Lou afterwards... to get your time and money back.
