This is an amazing documentary/rock-mockumentary musical comedy. It's fake, but based on real-life. It's a family affair! The film and series is: directed, written, created, and executive produced by: Polly Draper. The main characters are Draper's real-life sons, Nat and Alex Wolff who really write, compose, sing, and perform all the music. It also stars there show-and-real-life father and Draper's husband, Michael Wolff ("Mr. (Sonny) Wolff" in the film and series). He stars as a dorky father who plays the accordion. Since Draper is to busy putting the whole show together it's too much for her to star on the series, so she's known as deceased and the series does not talk too much about her/their "mock(-umentary)" mom.Now, to get started on how adults can get interested too!Polly Draper is an actress, writer, producer, and first time director. I'm sure there's people out there that remember a hit ABC show in the late 80's and early 90's titled, "thirtysomething." Well, Draper is best-known for her starring-role as career woman Ellyn Warren (Remember, she was friends with Michael, Hope, and Elliot). Also, Michael Wolff is not dorky in real-life. In real-life he is a famous jazz pianist-composer-band-leader and occasional singer-songwriter. He is best-known for his role as the band-leader and musical director of the 1987-91 talk show, "The Arsenio Hall Show."Actually, Wolff and Draper weren't even married to each other at the time. It wasn't until Draper guest stared on "The Arsenio Hall Show," that they met and eventually married.He's also worked with: B.B. King, Bobby McFerrin, Christian McBride, Frank Sinatra, Dave Koz, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, Jean Luc Ponty, Warren Zevon, Wayne Shorter, Cal Tjader, Cannoball Adderley, and Sonny Rollins.Too top it off. In 1975, Wolff became the musical director, vocalist, and arranger for jazz artist, Nancy Wilson! As well as working with many other greats!Since "Naked Brothers" is Draper's directing debut when was was her screen writing debut?"The Tic Code," (1998, Italy; 1999, USA; 2000, NYC) was her first screenplay writing and producing. It's a romantic-musical-drama film. It was part biography and was inspired by her husband (Wolff)'s struggles with his mild case of Tourette syndrome and his love of the jazz piano. Starring: Polly Draper, Gregory Hines; And Introducing: Christopher George Marquette. Directed by: Gary Winick; written by: Polly Draper; Produced by: Polly Draper, Michael Wolff, Sarah Pillsbury, Karen Tangora. Music by: Michael Wolff (composer, piano); (partner) Alex Foster (Saxophone).Back too the "Naked Brothers Band"...Nat and Alex formed a band in pre-school with there best-friends who were all in the movie and all but one is also in the series!The film had specials appearances by tons of celebrities who are friends with Draper and Wolff: Arsenio Hall; Nancy Wilson; Cyndi Lauper; Julianne Moore; Uma Thurman; Ricki Lake; Ann Curry; Tony Shalhoub; Cindy Blackman; John B. Williams to the whole cast of "thirtysomething" (Ken Olin, Mel Harris, Melanie Mayron, Patricia Wettig, Tim Busfield, Peter Horton as well as Draper herself!); and Draper's (off-Broadway writing and starring in) Getting Into Heaven cast (Gretchen Egolf, James Badge-Dale, Barbara Eda-young). The show brought Nickelodeon's highest-rated premiere in seven years!As well as starring in the show, Wolff also co-executive produces/music produces and music supervises the show.In the movie at the time (when Nat and Alex were only (9 and 6) and (12 and 9 in the series), presently 13 and 10), follows a world-famous rock band that deals with friendship, fame, girls, and a band break up. But, eventually gets back together at the end of the movie.In the film, "Naked Brothers" weren't famous in real-life (which was, filmed in 2004), but in the show it all came true! Though, they exaggerate to pretend to be world-famous like "The Beatles" (that band inspired Nat and Alex in the beginning). Other "Draper" relatives are in the series and film: Jesse Draper (Jessica Cook Draper-Nat and Alex's cousin and Polly's niece) (as the band tutor and babysitter, Jesse Cook), Billy Draper (Jesse's brother) (as Jesse's boyfriend Billy Timmerman) ("The Timmerman Brothers"), Adam Draper (Jesse's other brother) (as Jesse's other boyfriend Donnie Timmerman), (another "Draper" relative) Coulter Mulligan (Polly's nephew-and Jesse's cousin) (as Jesse's OTHER boyfriend Johnny Timmerman), venture capitalist Tim Draper (Polly's brother and Jesse's father) (as Principle Schmoke), Eleanor Draper (Jesse's sister) (as Bessy-who is also Jesse's sister on the show), and Lisa Mulligan (Coulter's sister and Jesse's cousin) (as Tessy-Jesse's sister on the show). Tim Draper is also the consulting producer. Some heck of a family affair! Beautifully scripted/directed/produced, stay tuned to back-to-back of new episodes, Saturday's (on Nickelodeon) at 8:30PM/ET.

Naked Brothers Band...what can I say? I can't say the plot was original. If you want to see a good band mockumentary, rent The Rutles.I can't say the songs were good. I suppose, for a 9-year-old, they were okay. Not the best music I've ever heard, but what did I expect? They're nine.I can't say that it would make a good little-kids film. Alex Wolff was just over-the-top. He got some good lines, but I can't honestly say that getting him drunk on Lemon-Lime Sprite made me laugh. It was too stupid. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's when they get a child character "drunk" on a not-even-close-to-alcoholic substance to avoid controversy.I can't say it was realistic. I knew that the whole thing was faked, and that the kids weren't really famous. But the fangirls and those guys who hadn't talked until the "Silver Boulders" came along were just over-the-top. Not even remotely believable, and not funny either.So why 7-out-of-10? The characters were original, and delivered their lines in a way that could've been actual documentary dialog. The minor characters, like the head of the album place, had funny lines. The manager was really funny, and so were the over-the-top parents complaining about censorship. What I want to know is what happened to Cole Hawkins, the Cheerios-commercial guy, and when that Quaasim kid stepped in. Cole was funnier, if not as prominent.All in all, it's a good laugh if you have nothing better to do one of these nights. It's not top notch, but not horse $#*+ either

My favorite memory of this show and the band was when I got together with a bunch of my friends which are NBB haters and had a big bonfire and we took a CD of their songs and the DVD of the movie and a bunch of pictures of the band members and threw them into the fire and danced a happy jig around the burning stuff while singing "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead". That was the best thing about the show and this show is stupid with a capitol God this show sucks. I hate it so much. Get rid of the crappy car. You guys really suck! You really ruined the whole channel! No offence or anything but you guys need to get a life, I mean, really, who makes a stupid show with a stupid lead singer that can't even sing! You guys really sound horrible and need to get a life as hobos or something, except Roselina. She's really pretty. But still, you guys reak!

This movie is awesome! The kids in this movie are gifted! Have you ever seen a six year old play the drums perfectly? Well if you watch the movie you will! And Nate Wollf is so hot even though he is two years older then me. But the movie is about a band called the Golden Boulders and when the band brakes up the brothers Nate and Alex go into depression.Me and my friends loved it because it was funny,cool and cute!Like Nate is in love with this girl Roselina and when ever she goes up to him he talks in a British accent because he wants to be like the Beatls!Over all it is just a great movie with a good ending and you should watch it on Feb. second at 8:00 on Nickalloden!
