Lack of good storyline.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Don't get me wrong I do love comedy and there are some teen comedy shows I do like, even they are not perfect, but Jonas just doesn't do anything for me. The concept wasn't one that appealed to me initially but I went ahead and watched it out of curiosity. What I don't like about Jonas is that I just can't connect to any of the characters, I find them clichéd. The female lead is cute but nothing else beyond that. The acting is pretty dire in my opinion, I don't like the Jonas Brothers, never did, and Jonas did nothing to change my negative opinion on them. The writing is unfunny with jokes that are as painfully clichéd as the characters, the stories are really predictable and the music is forgettable. Maybe the production values aren't too bad, but they are nothing special so nothing stands out. All in all, I tried to give it a fair shot, but sorry I just don't like this show. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I was surprised to find out that the newest Disney show "JONAS" has been picked up for another season. Being the parent of a little girl, I have been watching a lot of Disney Channel since there is very little my wife and I will let her watch. When I first watched JONAS I was like many viewers who gave it a 1/10 or 3/10. But the fact that the show reminds me a lot of the Monkeys I watched a few more episodes and became a fan. However I don't think there should be a season 2.While JONAS is a cute funny show that Disney is trying to milk for all the Jonas power it can get, that is not enough to keep fans with the show for too long. The characters are likable and the Joe-Stella plot is cute, but not where they should focus. As a matter of fact, the chemistry is not that good between the two. Chelsea Staub is a beautiful and talented actress, and the show only benefits with her on the show, but her character is still minor, as well as Macy (Nicole Anderson) who has evolved into a normal character and not the stereotypical "Jonas Head".Kevin and Joe are too old to be in high school, and where do they go when they graduate since their school is the premise of the show. I would much rather it been more like the Monkeys in that the four boys where struggling musicians and not famous. The Jo Bros try convince us that they are "Keeping it real", but how much longer can it last.I gave this show a 6/10 because it is cute and funny, but Disney should not let it go more than another season. Even Miley Cyrus knows it time to pull the plug on Hannah. It's time to travel in a new direction Disney Channel, and move away from the Pop Star Characters.

I think this show has gotten too much criticism from people who dislike the Jonas Brothers. It needs to be kept in mind that JONAS was meant to be a kids' show targeted at fans of the boys. At best, JONAS is a kid friendly comedy sure to draw in young and old fans alike. I won't trash it - this is just my opinion. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Jo Bros, but I am a fan of the Disney Channel in general. I'm eighteen years old and I still love watching shows like The Suite Life and Wizards. They have appealing, original characters, and the situations, while unbelievable, are engaging and creative. It's easy to get attached to the characters and their world. While I appreciate JONAS as a children's show, I think it lacks those qualities. The situations are used, the humor is trite, and the characters (particularly Macy and Stella) are stereotypical and shallow. It's just my opinion, but I find nothing engaging about their situations. In the last episode I watched the plot revolved around Joe accidentally dying their clothing blue. I was hoping for at least one laugh, but I was instead disappointed by a parade of unfunny jokes. If you're a fan of Joe, Kevin, and Nick, then I'm sure you'll enjoy JONAS. But if you're simply looking for a quality Disney comedy, I would not suggest this one.

I agree with several previous reviewers that the format of the show is similar to that of a Monkees series and/or Beatles movie in that there really doesn't have to be much of a plot. I don't feel it's true there is NO plot, the plot is just VERY weak and simple. I mean why is Kevin, a 21 year old, going to the same high school as Nick and Joe for heaven's sake? However, I personally enjoy the fact that they play ORIGINAL music and you can look forward to a new song every episode or so (unlike Mylie Cyrus where you're lucky to hear a fragment of one old song every now and then). Basically, as far as I'm concerned, the best part of the show is that you get to see the Jonas brothers UP CLOSE: talking, singing, being silly, being insecure, and often they share interesting tid bits about their real lives (ie: family videos, visit with Queen). So if you have to watch TV with your kids, I am glad that iCarly, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place and Jonas are different formats so it is not so redundant.
