The first thing you should know is that I’m not a big fan of Jonas Brothers fan. Don’t like ’em, don’t hate ’em. Know a few of their songs. Would never buy one of their CD’s or see them in concert.
However, practically everyone else on hand when I saw “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” in the theater was a diehard fan, and they all had a great time.
The crowd, made-up mostly of girls from 6-16, screamed every time their favorite Jonas had a close-up. They sang all the lyrics and clapped along with the audience in the film.
The movie follows the brothers through one of their 2008 concerts at Madison Square Garden in NYC. We also get some “behind the scenes stuff”, but most of it is not very interesting, simply scenes of them getting mobbed by fans at different places in the city.
For Jonas Brothers nuts, seeing “The 3D Concert Experience” in the theater was “an event.” All of the girls I spoke with after the movie said they loved it. Some of them got their pictures taken in front of the movie poster in the lobby and some even kept their 3D glasses as a souvenirs. Obviously youre not going to get any of that at home. But the DVD does have plenty of extras to keep the fans happy.
Speaking of the 3D – it was excellent on the big screen. I have no idea how the at home 3D glasses will work. And I never will, since I won’t be watching this movie again.
The worst part of “The 3D Concert Experience” for fans is that it’s too short – only 76 minutes. Ticket prices in the theater were very expensive – $15 for regular 3D, $17.50 for IMAX 3D! It makes the price of the DVD pretty reasonable.
The movie is rated G. It’s safe for everyone except Dad’s who will be stuck hearing the movie blasting in the other room while they slumber parties are going on.
On The Official Kid Critic Report Card, “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” gets a C+. But, if you’re a Jonas Brothers fanatic, it gets an A.
