New York Post
Kyle Smith
It isn't a really good movie, but there's real talent in it.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
An enjoyably cheesy teen melodrama with a touch of indie edge.
50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Liam Lacey
The trouble with Undiscovered isn't that it's actively annoying but it's so dramatically listless it seems determined to become Unremembered.
50
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It doesn't belong at a megaplex. It should be playing on a Clear Channel station.
50
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
There is a good movie here--Strait actually sings the songs that stand on their own, and he's appealing, despite the rock movie cliches.
40
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
The whole movie could be clipped by about 95 minutes and it would make a swell little video for Simpson's performance of the title cut from the soundtrack.
40
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The music is surprisingly good and there's a skateboarding bulldog that you've just gotta see to believe.
40
Variety
Robert Koehler
As a cautionary drama on the price of fame, Undiscovered could not tread on more exhaustively discovered territory, and the result is a reel-by-reel trail of cliches.
40
Chicago Reader
J.R. Jones
It isn't bad enough to be good.
40
LA Weekly
Mark Olsen
Undiscovered is beaten on all counts by TV’s "Entourage" and "Unscripted" in its portrayal of the aspirational lifestyle and its end-of-the-rainbow spoils.
38
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
On paper, the "rising stars" of Meiert Avis' low-flying romantic comedy Undiscovered are Steven Strait and Pell James, but the real star is Tyson the Skateboarding Dog.
38
Miami Herald
Christie Lemire
Too inert to be titillating, too generic to be engaging.
30
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Tailored for the readership of Teen People magazine and about as thought-provoking as the average 500-word celebrity profile.
30
The New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Though filled with romantic contrivances and overlong musical numbers, Undiscovered is curiously lifeless. Bland actors portray single-cell characters in a plot scarcely more diverting than Ms. Simpson's reality vehicle, "The Ashlee Simpson Show."
30
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nathan Rabin
The vapid teen talent show Undiscovered turns on a plot point so moronic that even the most dedicated bad-movie buffs have cause to stay away.
30
Village Voice
Nona Willis-Aronowitz
A PG-13 dramedy set in L.A. about some attractive, way-too-earnest aspiring stars has the potential to be a delectable good-bad favorite, but Undiscovered is nowhere near the guilty pleasure it could have been.
30
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
An entirely dispensable, soapy caricature of a love story that comes complete with a jukebox full of music industry cliches plus Ashlee Simpson's big feature film debut.
25
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
As Brier's comrade-in-lip-gloss, Ashlee Simpson, dressed to look like a teenybop girl version of Crispin Glover in "River's Edge," is the real deal -- in fake cred.
25
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
The movie plays more like a WB network teen drama than something audiences should be expected to pay to see.
25
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Bill White
Undiscovered promotes one of the stupidest visions of the entertainment industry since "American Idol" opened the celebrity gateway to the dregs of the karaoke generation.
11
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Some things are best left undiscovered.

Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Indeed, I'd say Undiscovered belongs on the WB, but that would be gravely unfair to the channel, which looks like the BBC in comparison.
