From Justin to Kelly (2003)

The Worst Film Ever

Great Film overall

Best movie ever!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

May contain spoilers!Okay, the reason this got a 4 (which normally would have been lower) is because of a few things that make this movie not AS bad as some of these reviews say. Most are for nostalgic reasons.I saw this in probably 2004-05 when I was in middle school, and decided to pick it up from Blockbuster, just because. At this time in my life, it was this fun spring break movie that was entertaining to watch with my friends. This was mostly due to the simple plot, all the fun going on and the allure of being in Miami ( which IS fun, I had already been). Back then, I didn't really see anything wrong with it, but I wasn't the best judge of acting.Now that I've watched it in my early 20's, for the first time in ages, I feel like I can give it a proper review. Yikes, it's pretty cringe-y. So first you have the acting. Kelly's actually starts out okay to me, and is decent despite no acting roles, but then it kind of goes from bad to worse after that. Everyone else is not too too bad, Justin is slightly better than Kelly, but Katherine Bailess's accent is OVERWHELMINGLY annoying. And I'm from Alabama! I just wanted her to stop. Besides that, you will want to punch her character a thousand times, and then you wonder how Kelly and Kaya (Anika Noni Rose) are even friends with someone like that. Another downside is the musical numbers, the only one that's kind of fun/funny is the beginning number on the beach, and all the others are hard to watch- the lip syncing, the actual songs themselves... everything. A few of the things I like, still, are the vacation atmosphere, and, well.. that's pretty much all. Honorable mentions are Anika Noni Rose's acting as Kaya ( she gives the best performance out of everyone, IMO) especially given her material to work with and her choice of guys is the most believable/ most worth investing in; also, Brian Dietzen (pre-NCIS) with his sunburn and woman troubles is somewhat funny. Guys are going to hate this no matter what because it's already bad, they tend to hate musicals (like mine does) and it's about crushes and love. The only thing they might watch this for is the women on the beach.If you want to relive childhood a little because you remember watching it then, that's the only reason why you might want to continue watching it later in life, seeing as that's my only reason. A lot of times we can watch things that aren't good because they bring back some sort of sentimental value, even though they kind of suck. Other than the few things I mentioned, it's a waste of time if none of these themes appeal to you at all.

My wife rented this video from the bait shop next to the motel. She said, "most of the videos were porn - flicks, and "Justin to Kelly" was the only thing the store had that looked good". Chick - flick, or porn? A ... I would have chose "Just Doin Kelly" instead I think. Anyway I've been wondering for years where Harley dropped that chick hitchhiker off. I had been meaning to find out. Proves the old saying is true that "they will let anyone become a cop." Glad to check that one off of my bucket list. Oh yea, what did I think of the movie? I must have dozed off after the "officer Cutter" scene. Though I liked "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man"; seen it many times on satellite in 25 years as a matter of fact. Furthermore Tom Sizemore, Alec, Billy, and Daniel's big brother were actually plausible villains in that Don Johnson / Mickey Rourke likewise plausible "reluctant, but worthy tandem heroes" flick. Moreover HD & the MM is a hell of a lot better movie than this J to K stinker; I seen enough of the latter to rate it a 3 rather than 1 because to be fair I failed at staying awake; so that much I can tell you. Otherwise i'll have to ask my wife, and get back to you for a "Justin to Kelly" review. Better yet don't even waist your time just checkout the aforementioned Johnson, Rourke, Sizemore, and Baldwin flick instead. Or porn; heck any porn rates at least a 5 by default. Anyways, hope I didn't in any way spoil anybody's lifelong "Carmen Sandiego" / "Waldo" hunting - sojourn for nameless "femmes of the silver - screen." ."

I watched this for 20 minutes and it was unwatchable! Worst film ever made! This point is proved when you know that Kelly Clarkson and the gay sideshow bob were forced into doing this film.After watching this I really just want to go die in a hole which is really what the director should do!Seriously from minute one this 'movie' contains scenes that kids should not be able to watch!Jokes aside, the director should seriously consider in changing this film from U to 18 rated!!!Ps thank you makers of from Justin to Kelly, you have scarred me for life!!!

From Justin to KellyThe cost-effective basis behind movies starring flavours of the month is that the running time is only 15 minutes.Unfortunately, this 2003 romantic/musical/comedy featuring the winner and runner-up of American Idol bucks the trend.While on spring break with her girlfriends, Kelly (Kelly Clarkson) meets Justin (Justin Guarini), a fellow spring breaker who is likewise accompanied by his boys.Needles to say, the reality star-crossed lovers are brought together, before being torn apart, and brought back together.The whole time, Justin and Kelly's crews create mischief, when they're not joining the leads in choreographed song and dance.While it pretends to pay homage to hep beach party musicals, Justin and Kelly are complete squares: their songs are forgettable, their acting is incompetent and their dance routines are substandard.Maybe the producers of American Idol should've gone with their guts, and instead of Florida, set spring break in a Coca-Cola factory.
