So... here's where I possibly lose all future credibility regarding movie ratings... Watched with the guys last night, they were sick of the usual B-movie crap we've been watching so decided to watch this instead.

Yeah, it was a really fun watch for how terrible it was. The acting, the script, the plot, the choreography, the editing... all were painfully bad in the funniest possible ways, it constantly had that "I can't tell if they're being serious or not" absurdity... So many scenes that don't make any sense. So many hilariously bad lines delivered with cringe inducing acting. "Serious" things will happen to a character and then suddenly they're going into another song and dance routine that doesn't match the mood at ALL. Added to all this are SO many of the typical cliches from a (PG rated) "spring breakers" plot.

I could see this movie being some group's "we've watched this more times than we're willing to admit" movie. One of the groups I hung out with in high school watched a lot of... "Pumpkinhead". Nothing going on tonight? Lets put on some "Pumpkinhead" and space out... Before my wife and I had kids, that movie was "Glitter". "Glitter" is stupid and horrible, but in a way that is really fun to laugh at. I have no idea how many times we watched that... I could see "From Justin to Kelly" being some group's "Glitter".

A couple random other comments... There were multiple filming/editing "errors" that always make this kind of movie fun... several times where someone was singing in a previous shot and should probably be singing in this shot, but they're obviously not. They're in frame, in focus, you can hear their voice, but they're definitely not singing. There were even a few times where a character would start speaking over their own singing, then go back to singing. A little trippy.

There's also a bunch of huge choreographed numbers with some pretty crazy dance moves... I don't know if they were just rushing takes, but wow were there a lot of screw ups in some of the dances, and not always in the background... And not always little thing, but stuff like seeing a girl get dropped or whipped around WAY harder than any of the others... Or seeing Kelly just kinda bopping around only kinda dancing while everyone around her is dancing crazy bananas. Choreography wasn't very tight.

So yeah, not a good movie. At all. But it was a hell of a lot of fun to laugh at.
