Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
ekudamram 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." ."
utgard14 I was never into American Idol so I came to this late. I like Kelly Clarkson's music but I knew of the reputation this film had so I figured I'd best steer clear of what seemed like an obvious trainwreck. Finally I decided to check it out and boy was it every bit as bad as its reputation suggests. The movie is basically like a '60s Frankie and Annette beach movie updated to the present day. Frankie and Annette having been replaced now by Justin Guarini (who?) and Kelly Clarkson. Guarini, the runner-up from the first season of American Idol that Clarkson won, has the worst hair and smiles nonstop. His acting is awful but, to be fair, so is everybody else's. Including Kelly, I'm sad to say. The two leads have no chemistry and their romance is about as forced as you can imagine a movie built around the two finalists from a singing competition would be. The music is terrible pre-packaged generic pop crap. Not a single song is worth remembering. It's a terrible movie made with poor intentions and not the slightest bit of artistry. Crass commercialism at its lowest. Avoid unless you want to see one of the worst mainstream movies of all time.
MartinHafer Okay, here's the plot. Three girls go to Spring Break to get laid. Three boys go to Spring Break to get laid. End of movie. Wow, this film brings a new level of shallowness that I've never seen before. Heck, most porno films have deeper plots and greater connections between the characters! And, there during rutting season, they all sing, dance and spout dialog that I assume must have been written by a 6 year-old or perhaps a lemur.Alright, the film is a TINY bit deeper but not much. Justin (who could really use a hair makeover) sees Kelly at the beach and suddenly his years of having meaningless sex with whores is over. Eventually, Justin (who is just a horny pig) and sweet Kelly somehow get together--though they have absolutely NOTHING in common and ZERO chemistry. None of this makes any sense at all and is just infuriating. After all, other than STDs, what do these two have in common?! There are other pairings that occur with each of the six main characters, but none of them make any sense and none of their stories are the least big compelling. In fact, I just wanted them all to die...painfully...and slowly.As for the characters, they are all caricatures. You cannot imagine these people hanging out together existing in the real world. The three guys consist of the computer nerd who is a virgin and his two horn-dog friends. Why would they be together?! This makes no sense. The girls consist of two horn-dog girls (one is Black...this is SO enlightened) and a virgin. Again, why would they hang together with such ridiculously different values?! Players and hos and geeks....that's all there seems to be with this film. With words such as 'hotties', 'studs' and 'whipped cream', this film is insulting, demeaning and completely value-less. And who would like this movie? If you are a total perv, you won't like it because there is no sex or nudity despite the sexually charged plot. If you have any sense a self-worth or values, you won't want to sit and listen to a bunch of shallow slugs talking non-stop about sex...and not much else.Overall, a sleazy, valueless mess. Everyone is a sleaze-bag--and they sing and dance more than folks in a typical Bollywood musical! There is nothing to like or appreciate about the film--just a bunch of talentless jerks and it reaches a level of shallowness that would probably make even Paris Hilton cringe. Not surprisingly, the film is ranked #23 among the Bottom 100 on IMDb--a position that it clearly deserved.
Justin G Let me begin by saying, if a higher rating were available, I would choose it. This is one of the most inspiring films of the decade. The motifs and symbolism illustrated in this brilliant work of art are nothing short of powerful. The musical and theatrical talents of these young starlets moves me to tears. One would think that they are our modern day marlin Brando and Kathryn Hepburn. The dramatic irony proposed in the film is truly awe inspiring. It will leave any audience member moved and at the edge of their seats, waiting for more.
