Reviews for From Justin to Kelly
This is such a manipulative product placing piece of dribble that it reeks of failure.

More than anything, From Justin To Kelly needs Simon Cowell.

Is it too late to vote them off? For once, we don’t have to tell you how bad a film is... you knew before they made it.

The movie is billed as a romantic musical comedy. You coulda fooled me.

Watching them lock lips feels like incest propaganda: Justin and Kelly are offspring of the same publicity machinery, after all

From Justin to Kelly is bad, but Glitter is still worse because Glitter thinks it's a great movie.

How bad is From Justin to Kelly? Set in Miami during spring break, it's like Grease: The Next Generation acted out by the food-court staff at SeaWorld.

From Justin to Kelly is just one of those films, a bottomless well of snark fodder that may come and go in theatres but will surely be spun innumerable times on DVD at parties in the years to come.
07/01/03
Fans of the television show may show up for this one, but given that an American Idol sequel has already ended its run, audiences are likely to find it stale.

Moulin Rouge … Chicago … From Justin to Kelly … two steps forward and then about 16 steps back for the film musical.
06/29/03
It's more dumbfounding that so much time is wasted on a cast of unknowns, second-stringers granted solos long before Kelly or Justin take center stage. Why not support with other first-season alums?
06/28/03
The notion behind it is as contrived, forced, manipulated and fake as any film ever made.
06/28/03
Having won first and second place in some sort of TV talent show, Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini get to play movie star, a bonus all America should immediately vote to have removed from the prize bin.

What do you do to decide who gets the girl? Do you fight? Arm-wrestle, perhaps? Why, no, silly. You play hovercraft basketball, of course.

Messages that read 'I O U A BRGR. U GAME?' ... propel the plot forward. Alas, all the scenes in which Prince hijacks the cell phones have been left on the cutting room floor.
06/26/03
It was produced by people who saw nothing in it but a few quick bucks, filled with songs that no one would want to hear again and starring two people who have no business at the center of any movie.
06/25/03
I don’t think any young A-list duo could have triumphed over this production.
06/25/03
One of the worst movies you'll ever see -- but it's still not worth seeing.
