Reviews
Animenter There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
therunner42 I am not a twelve year old girl; I am a 40 year old woman who likes a few One Direction songs. I've heard them at my daughters' ballet class and I like to run to them. I thought I'd watch the movie on a two hour drive. The film was fun to watch and a really interesting story. It is fascinating to hear the story of this band became so successful so quickly. After their formation on the British version of the X-Factor and earlier than expected exit, the fans took over in the forms of promoters on social media. As it turns out, they were more than effective and the result was instant worldwide success for One Direction before an album was even released. Further, they began performing at stadiums the size most bands spend years working their way up to at smaller venues. They were understandably very nervous and it is entertaining to watch this play out. The family suffers and it is compelling viewing. Overall, I really enjoyed this. I did get a little tired of the theme "we're just ordinary boys who love a joke" theme and would have liked to find out a little bit more about who the boys truly are. I think the fans that created them deserve that. However, it is a fun show and the concert performances are great. If you're not ashamed to rent it out, it's definitely one to watch. Tell them you are getting it for your children!
Jordan Leukam Hey, all of these people leaving terrible reviews have absolutely no life. Just because this band doesn't sound like the music you listen to doesn't mean they aren't talented. They've worked so hard to get where they are today, and you're being completely rude. I bet half of these people never even watched the film! I bet a billion dollars they can sing 10x better than you can. I can't believe people these days... Yes, I am a fan of them and I'm not just defending them because I love them, but because there's no need to say awful things like that! I went and saw this with my mom because she WANTED to see it! She said it was hilarious and adorable! I don't see how anyone could say this was a "God Awful" documentary... There's nothing wrong with it! There voices. They're growing up! Their voices are still changing somewhat, they started off younger but that's fine!
Jnarup24 No words can explain how god awful this movie is. If I were a producer of this movie, I would be ASHAMED to release it. Everything about this movie...everything is terrible. These kids walk around acting like freaking superstars yet I speak for a lot of people when I say: NO ONE CARES. There is nothing to like about this movie. The only possible up sight to this movie is when the credits roll. Just these kid's SINGING is terrible, let alone what they do in their free time. Movies like this make me miss Guns N' Roses,, AC/DC, etc, back when music was decent. This band sounds like they are constantly sucking on Helium. I seriously do not see how ANYBODY likes these people. And so I implore you: DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. IT IS TERRIBLE. If One Direction walked toward me, I'd walk in the OTHER direction.
jannu-de-leo Its same as watching 1D's BTS on their youtube vevo channel. I expected videos of their concerts from their tour. But the only concert video was the O2 Arena concert. They did show what celebrity life is, everybody kept saying that the boys are down to earth, but who are we kidding! The other band without a name (Wrong Direction) that went on tour with them is just awesome. Dan Richards (guitarist) is cute as a button. By this movie, I learned that 1D gets credit for a lot more than they really deserve. The movie was more like a music video album. Not good. I tolerated it only because, well, the boys are cute as teddy bears.
