Sure its goofy and corny at times with some bad dancing and singing...but it was filmed in ft lauderdale...and i was there, its about spring break and it had kelly clarkson...what more do you want? If your looking for the movie " Casablanca", this is not it...take it for what its worth...hot girls in bikinis during spring break!!

When I sat down to watch From Justin to Kelly, I knew it had a not so kind reputation among IMDb. It has an incredibly low rating and is in the Bottom 100. Still, that does not mean I wouldn't enjoy it. I have liked a lot of "feel good, girly" films that many hate such as Gigli, Glitter and Crossroads and I always clear my mind and give any film a chance at impressing me, and sometimes people are just way too harsh on films that are merely a cute, fun time. This film, however, is not the case. It is as bad as it's made out to be, and I'll tell you why.The acting is stale from every cast member. No one puts on a believable or even cheesy likable performance, including the main two "stars", which you think they would be able to muster some acting talent being the finalists of American Idol's first season... (joking). Whose idea was it to make a film off singers from a reality TV contest? The plot? There isn't one. A bunch of party thirsty teens that do nothing more than consume space on the screen and run around insipidly throwing outdated teenage slang here and there, not putting on a show attention-grabbing enough to interest children, teenagers, or adults. Don't even get me started on the songs and dance scenes. Oh my sweet Jesus, all every song does is occupy time, nothing more. They are all nowhere near catchy, and the choreography is some of the worst I have seen in any movie, ever. Even the sets are dull and completely opposite of breathtaking, and the direction is honestly home-video worthy at times.So basically, there were no redeeming qualities about this film. I am lighthearted, and like lots of movies people consider bad, and can usually laugh at films that I myself find bad. Not one chuckle, or smile, or any emotion ran across my face while watching this movie. It really is that bland and uninspiring, I felt robbed of the runtime after watching it and felt I could have done something more useful with my time like watch leaves fall. I don't plan on ever watching it again.

This movie was great. It was way more entertaining than overrated trash as "Rambo" or "Conan the Barbarian". This movie was funny, cute and heartwarming. The characters were very likable, and all the cast made a great work (I never saw them in any other movie, but all the performances of this film were great) The songs were pretty good. I liked all of them. I don't see why there is too much hate for this film, it was pretty good and enjoyable. Just like some movies are way overrated, this film is quite underrated. It is is one of the best romantic films ever made, along with Twilight. It definitely deserves more recognition.

Okay, here's the plot. Three girls go to Spring Break to get laid. Three boys go to Spring Break to get laid. End of movie. Wow, this film brings a new level of shallowness that I've never seen before. Heck, most porno films have deeper plots and greater connections between the characters! And, there during rutting season, they all sing, dance and spout dialog that I assume must have been written by a 6 year-old or perhaps a lemur.Alright, the film is a TINY bit deeper but not much. Justin (who could really use a hair makeover) sees Kelly at the beach and suddenly his years of having meaningless sex with whores is over. Eventually, Justin (who is just a horny pig) and sweet Kelly somehow get together--though they have absolutely NOTHING in common and ZERO chemistry. None of this makes any sense at all and is just infuriating. After all, other than STDs, what do these two have in common?! There are other pairings that occur with each of the six main characters, but none of them make any sense and none of their stories are the least big compelling. In fact, I just wanted them all to die...painfully...and slowly.As for the characters, they are all caricatures. You cannot imagine these people hanging out together existing in the real world. The three guys consist of the computer nerd who is a virgin and his two horn-dog friends. Why would they be together?! This makes no sense. The girls consist of two horn-dog girls (one is Black...this is SO enlightened) and a virgin. Again, why would they hang together with such ridiculously different values?! Players and hos and geeks....that's all there seems to be with this film. With words such as 'hotties', 'studs' and 'whipped cream', this film is insulting, demeaning and completely value-less. And who would like this movie? If you are a total perv, you won't like it because there is no sex or nudity despite the sexually charged plot. If you have any sense a self-worth or values, you won't want to sit and listen to a bunch of shallow slugs talking non-stop about sex...and not much else.Overall, a sleazy, valueless mess. Everyone is a sleaze-bag--and they sing and dance more than folks in a typical Bollywood musical! There is nothing to like or appreciate about the film--just a bunch of talentless jerks and it reaches a level of shallowness that would probably make even Paris Hilton cringe. Not surprisingly, the film is ranked #23 among the Bottom 100 on IMDb--a position that it clearly deserved.
