When Boy Bands Go To Hollywood

7 Performances that were less than in sync…


Annoyingly saccharine bubblegum-pop trio The Jonas Brothers hit the big screen this week, with their first concert film.

If this isn’t the worst news you’ve ever heard, allow us to add the fact that this film is playing in 3D… see? It just got a whole lot more terrible.

If ever there was an argument against 3D cinema, it’s a movie featuring a promise-ring wearing trio of high-pitched whiners who couldn’t rock their way out of Sunday School.

By the way, totalfilm.com loves The Jonas Brothers.

Join us for a look at other boy band members who’ve made their mark on Hollywood, and how it could have been much, much worse… in 3D. 

Luke Goss

The Boy: Famously sang “When Will I Be Famous” with twin bro Matt in boy band Bros.

The Performance: After a few indie movie creds, Goss only went and turned up in Blade II (2002).

His turn as Nomak, the first of a new breed of Vampire, was competent, though seriously lacking in the bleach blonde buzz cut we all knew and loved.

To top it off, just as we were wondering where he’d been, we get blindsided by the appearance of Danny John Jules, aka ‘The Cat’ from “Red Dwarf”.

Why It Would Be Worse In 3D: You might get flashbacks to that Bros. concert in ’88… no? Just us then.

Next: Brian Littrell, The Backstreet Boys

      To be fair, Timberlake was the best thing in Love Guru, well, alongside Romany Malco.

      To be honest, i do think Whalberg was brilliant in Band of Brothers.

      Yeah Goss played Prince Nuada, and Wahlberg was ace in BoB, just choosing particular performances rather than their entire film career :)
