    Relentlessly inoffensive, innocuous and vacuous, From Justin to Kelly is nowhere near as bad as its pre-release publicity would suggest.

    The most resounding thuds in From Justin to Kelly, however, come from the musical numbers.

    Bury this in the time capsule: a memento of the Clean South, 2003.
  4. They play cotton candy effigies of themselves named Kelly and Justin, and the best that can be said is that they don't embarrass themselves.

    This movie, while controversial, is an important part of the American film canon and should be watched over and over for a full understanding of its understated motifs [ed- Insert sarcasm here]. Collapse

    This movie is good if you are just looking for a fun movie with good music. The plot is terrible, and with the exception of Kelly Clarkson, so is the acting. I think the reason this was nominated for 4 Teen Choice Awards is because that is the audience it is directed to. This movie is not meant to be taken seriously, it's just a fun musical, with some corny teen humor. It's not exactly the next Citizen Cane, but it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. i think those people are taking this movie as a serious attempt at a good movie, which is not what it is.

    CARS, one of the single most underrated films of all time, is my choice to represent my will to overcome my obsessive-compulsive disorder. Just as it surprises me that it hasn't gotten better reviews than it has, so does this movie surprise me that it hasn't gotten worse reviews. Because it represents the complete opposite. I hate this movie. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Only a person like Derek Malcolm could not think watching Lightning and Sally looking off into a beautiful canyon is at least slightly better than this piece of shit. Expand
