won't laugh, even if poor Luke is running down
the street
with a skateboarding bull dog and only a sheet wrapped around his
waist.
The camera work oddly enough seemed to improve as the movie progressed,
and
then became less professional again towards the end. Although, I will
say that
the music chosen for this film was fantastic. Each song fit the scene
perfectly...even the Ashlee Simpson performances.
Even though I'm not an Ashlee Simpson fan I'll give credit where
it's due.
Ashlee Simpson delivered a very good performance for her role. I
didn't like
her "playing coy" technique though. I hate that I feel like she
didn't require
much studying for this role, since she was pretty much playing herself.
Her
body language was typical to every other appearance we've ever seen
of her. In
short, she plays the frumpy, cool tomboy who looks down and away every
time she
speaks or sings because she just so "sweet" and "modest." Her dialogue
was
delivered very naturally in any case.
Overall, I enjoyed this movie. I thought it had a few charming and
original
elements within it that set it apart from other movies in its genre.
There's
the crazy brother (Kip Pardue) who stays true to his "funkadelic" roots
and
rocks out with a yellow mini bus while wearing bell bottoms and a
thong, and likes
to send a farewell with a two-foot roll of bread. And, then there's
the ploy
in which not everything works out the way it should, according to the
romance
formula that is. Although there are some eccentricities added into this
mix,
the theme is simple enough. Basically, all that is undiscovered will
haunt and
plague you so long as it remains that way.
Movie Grade:A-
I had low expectations that were met and surpassed.
Undiscovered
