All things considered...
Review created: 06/02/08(updated 07/09/09)

Considering the movie was filmed in less than a month, neither 'idol' wanted to do the movie (they were forced to, it was in the AI contract), and it was written by one of Simon Fuller's family members just for the idol winners at the very last minute... it wasn't horrible. Yes, it could've been better but, come on, Kelly and Justin are singers, not actors, what did the producer expect? Another Grease? Uh, no.
Kelly is an incredible singer and her girl next door looks and personality makes her a great stage presence, but the live stage, not the 'sound' stage. She did not want any part of the movie but had no choice. Once the AI contract is signed, you belong to AI, period!
It's a movie for the 15 and under audience. As they are only going to see Justin and Kelly singing and dancing, and not going to critique the writing, acting or choreography, or the lack there of.
So, all things considered, I think Miss Clarkson pulled it off as well as anyone could've expected. It was a poor script, 40 something dialog , and above all, it was extremely rushed. What did anyone expect???
