Reviews
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Cameron Kein (camillee-61931) The plot was super basic and the actor for Jordan simply had no emotion. The scenes were awkward and misplaced. The message could've been better delivered but overall that was pretty okay. I started watching the movie hoping to see the perfect ending but there was absolutely no build up. First of all, how did nobody recognize him other than in the beginning if Jordan is so "famous?" The camera work was jumbled and the effects were not used correctly. The black screens at the end were misleading and they didn't even kiss at the end. Wtf. The entire movie was misleading and a waste of time. Way too predictable.
luizapm It's easy to see that they have tried to make the script as "real" as they could but the result was really cringe-worthy and not real at all. The character of the lead girl (Emily) it's "I want to leave town because everything here sucks, the girls are sl-ts and the boys are just fu-kboys" type of teenage girl, which wouldn't be a huge problem if the script was well-written. The acting, specially of Matthew Spinosa (Jordan Jaye), is just plain bad, it just doesn't seem like real emotions.
Marcela Sotelo (issisotelo) When I watched this movie's trailer I thought this was a copy of Starstruck,that DCOM where the main characters meets a pop superstar that she hates and after sharing some time together they got a love connection. Does that sounds like this movie? Yes. Is that 100% true? No. "Be Somebody" is more than a movie with a girl meeting a pop superstar and falling in love to each other. In this movie I watched two young artists trying to find themselves with the other one's help. For me, it was a very slow plot but that didn't make stop watching it. The message is there since the first scene. It's also a movie that you can have fun watching it. Definitely something you should watch in a free time just to have a good time and a little dose of inspiration.
polly-blythe Coming from a person who has watched a lot of rom-coms, this is by far the worst I have ever seen. I watched it and subsequently made my friend watch it also, so we could laugh about how bad it was. Our judgment was not only based on the non-existent plot, but also on the extremely poor acting which added the comedy aspect to this neutral film. On top of this, this is simply just a poor attempt at replicating the film Starstruck, which is far far better. If your thinking of watching this film, I'd recommend you just watch Starstruck instead, or bang you head against a brick wall for an hour and 27 minutes, because that would probably be a better experience than watching this dreadful film. However, if you are in the mood to watch this with a friend and make fun of how awful it is, then go ahead because that's what we did and it was quite fun. Don't listen to the people who say it is good because they are deluded, don't waste an hour and 27 minutes of your life watching this when you could spend that time doing something worthwhile, for example baking a cake. In a nutshell, we are teenage girls who love any sort of rom-com, but if this film cannot even be tolerated by us, then I don't know who it can be tolerated by. However, if Zac Efron had played the lead boys role, we would have know complaints. Jordan Jaye's gelled back hair at the end really didn't do it for us - he looked like a tadpole going to a dinner party. The whole time you think you're watching a romance blossom, but at the end you realise you've just been watching a guy who looks like a tadpole and a pizza delivery girl be friends for an hour and 27 minutes. Do seventeen year olds not even kiss anymore? LAUGHINGLY AWFUL.
