After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Don't get me wrong I do love comedy and there are some teen comedy shows I do like, even they are not perfect, but Jonas just doesn't do anything for me. The concept wasn't one that appealed to me initially but I went ahead and watched it out of curiosity. What I don't like about Jonas is that I just can't connect to any of the characters, I find them clichéd. The female lead is cute but nothing else beyond that. The acting is pretty dire in my opinion, I don't like the Jonas Brothers, never did, and Jonas did nothing to change my negative opinion on them. The writing is unfunny with jokes that are as painfully clichéd as the characters, the stories are really predictable and the music is forgettable. Maybe the production values aren't too bad, but they are nothing special so nothing stands out. All in all, I tried to give it a fair shot, but sorry I just don't like this show. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I think what a lot of you are forgetting is that Disney stars are often made to do a variety of medias for the channel (eg music video, TV show, cd etc). The Jonas brothers have yet to do a lot of these things aside from cds a couple of music videos a few years ago and a few documentaries. I think you're all judging this show way too harshly. It is /just/ a Disney show - intended for a young audience and even still its popular among older teens and even parents. Family shows aren't made to be complicated or else it would just be children asking their parents to explain the plot the entire time they watch. So to those criticizing for the seemingly "stupid" characters of the show, just how smart do you want these people do be? this is a kids comedy not a teen drama.

Now honestly I've watched this show with my little sister because like most girls from the ages of 9-15 she's a huge Jonas brother fan. Now unlike the previous comment, that person has the stupidest idea of what is good on TV. Jonas isn't the best show on Disney channel, there's no avoiding it. It's more of Disney keeping trying to cash in on what's popular. Hannah Montana is a very lousy singer and an even worse actress. It's funny how her co-starts Mitchell Musso and emily osement sing better and act better then her. The Joans brothers are decent singers and especially for the pop rock genre there's no denying it. Their acting isn't TERRIBLE but it's not worth a gold star. Kevin's acting is funny because he's aware of how terrible he is but just rolls with it. Nick always has that same look on his face like he's in pain to be on camera. But you think he'd be use to it being a major music star for the past 4 years. All in all, you might not enjoy it the way you'd enjoy other shows such as phineas and pherb. But it's Disney channel, you really can't expect anything more then unpromising shows. Jonas isn't the worst, but it's certainly far from the best.

Before I start my review, I'd like to say that I totally adore the JB. I own all their CDs, I've got a million posters on my wall and I even went to a concert in June. All of that was AWESOME. The show, however...For a start, it's completely unoriginal. The plots have all been done a million times before, and they seem to have been dumbed-down somewhat. The format and the scripts are all very similar to that of Hannah Montana. I don't think this show is simply a recreation of it (which is what many people DO think), I believe that the producers and writers simply saw HM's success and tried to make it happen again.The music in the shows is, of course, teen pop-rock. Which I love, duh. However, the music seems a little overdone and the show, to be honest, seems like a series of music videos strung together by simple, diluted plot lines. If you're into their music - GREAT! If you're not...you're not gonna like this show.The simple plots, are, however, saved by some quality comedy. Joe is the most naturally comic brother, but Kevin has really stepped up and become rather hilarious too. Nick cracks some good jokes and is obviously putting a lot of effort in, but his comedy seems a little more forced. He is the naturally quietest brother, so maybe that's why. I personally think he'll get better as the series goes on, because you can see that he's improved quite a bit from episode one to episode five.In short, if you love the JB, you will love this show. If you don't love the JB - you will absolutely hate this show.I'm going to give it 7 - because they're making a great effort. The plots bring the show down and they didn't write them, so it's not their fault.Too see some better quality Jonas acting, plots, etc, please go and watch Camp Rock. It really is very good!
