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!
