So bad it's goood! (And I'm a straight hetero female!) You gotta believe... 1) A potential boy band member is a budding astrophysicist and Yale student. 2) Another boy-band candidate is an investigative journalist. 3) A cheap, child sized guitar is "A vintage Fender".
All of the above good for lots of laughs. Likewise, the too precious, over-done hairdos and carefully distressed t-shirts.
The plot was sort of plausible and the screen-play had some bite, a few very funny side comments. Blonde bimbo was funny!
I've covered the good-bad. Now the bad-bad.
Ryan Starr. So unappealing on American Idol because she seemed to think she was soo hot. She is absolutely ineffective on screen. Clamp your hand over your mouth and nose, and try to talk in a high pitched screech. That will give you an idea of her speaking voice. ANY third rate starlet would have been better, and would have made the film acceptable, rather than a guilty pleasure.
Stage for the audition looked crappy. Signage too. Couldn't they have ironed the tablecloth?
Very good use of the few locations. Great boy-band parody. Eric Dearborn as Max, and Jeff Peterson as Jonah came off quite well. Loved Joshua Jackson's snarky, faux sincere performance too!
Well directed. Even tho' it was dopey, the film moved fast. Except when Ryan Starr dragged it down.
