JONAS BROTHERS: THE CONCERT EXPERIENCE
Starring: Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift
Directed by: Bruce Hendricks
MPAA Rating: G
Genre: Musical
The extended DVD edition of the Jonas Brothers The Concert Experience is a nicely choreographed film targeted for female teens and tweens and it surely hits the mark. Covering most all their music, the film shows well on the home screen. Although it was more of a concert experience at the theatres, I found I had more control over the action for replays and pauses. The girls will probably drive you nuts with this one, so make sure you have a DVD player in their room.
The movie features the heartthrobs as they go to New York for a concert. Early to rise, the trio starts their day with a wake up call by their handler and then it’s off to an album release party and other public appearances. Between their romps around the city that never sleeps, they show their concert. In this extended version two additional songs that were not performed in the movie theater are integrated into the film on the DVD.
I liked the way the director interjected the daily routine into the film making it more of a reality. Although the film reminded me of a Hard Days Night, unfortunately the Jonas Brothers are not The Beatles. Their music devoted to the tween generation is definitely a plus and their look really impressed me. I like the way the trio responded to the crowd in Times Square, it was sort of comical yet realistic that they would be totally surprised at the turnout.
The only extra features on the DVD are two additional bonus songs and a featurette that goes inside the lives of the Jonas Brothers on tour. If you could wear out this DVD, I’m sure it will be by a tween playing it non-stop for days on end. This Movie is also available in Blu-ray, but was not reviewed in that format.
FINAL ANALYSIS:Â A great DVD to keep your tweens happy and save the cost of a concert admission. (4 of 5 Palm Trees)
