In the world of wannabes, four up-and-coming entertainers struggle to make it big in Hollywood. Read Kidzworld's review of Undiscovered to find out if you should race down to the theatre, or back away slowly.
Undiscovered - On the Way Up
On a cold, winter
New York City day, Brier, an
aspiring model, and Luke, a struggling musician, fall in
love at first sight on a crowded
subway train - but the doors close before they can talk to each other. It's not until two years later that their paths cross again in LA, where Luke is
still struggling in the music biz and Brier is trying her hand at acting. To help Luke strike a record deal, Brier and her actress/singer friend, Clea (played by
Ashlee Simpson), create some
buzz to turn Luke into the
next big thing.
Undiscovered - On the Way Down
Pretty soon, Luke is recording an album, performing at all the
LA hotspots and dating supermodels - but as his
popularity and success grow, so does his ego! When his record label finds out that Luke's instant success was just a sham, they
drop him faster than you can say "
fame." Undiscovered starts out alright, but gets so lost in the
ever-growing madness of Luke's
rock star hair that even Ashlee Simpson can't save this movie from bombing!
Undiscovered - Bottom Line
After her stint on
7th Heaven, it's no surprise that Ashlee Simpson is a
better actress than big sister
Jessica. But, she only plays a small role in Undiscovered. She sings a couple of songs (including
her song, Undiscovered) and struggles, literally, to get discovered. While this movie has its
entertaining moments (like the bulldog that rides a
skateboard), it's not worth waiting in line for tickets. Instead, wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it on a day when you're dreaming of becoming a
famous rock star...
