Amazon.co.uk Review
The excitement of seeing the Jonas Brothers live in concert is hard to beat, but this 3-D concert presentation is the next best thing to being there. Basically a collection of highlights from the Burnin' Up concert tour, the film features live concert footage of hit songs including
That's Just the Way We Roll,
Gotta Find You,
Video Girl,
S.O.S, and
Burnin' Up with pyrotechnics, water effects, and the occasional questionable harmony and out-of-breath lyric. Demi Lovato joins the Jonas Brothers for
This Is Me, Taylor Swift presents
Should've Said No, and Big Rob even makes a brief singing appearance. Also included is the never-before-released song
Love Is On Its Way. Viewers get the best seats in the house thanks to the realism of the 3D format and a nice mix of up-close, on-stage, and above-stage camera angles combined with wider crowd shots. Augmenting the experience is just the right amount of backstage footage of the Jonas Brothers doing everything from waking up in the morning to braving the screaming crowds of fans at midnight on album release day and even changing clothes between concert sets. This film is very similar to
Hannah Montana's Best of Both Worlds Concert 3-D Movie, in which the Jonas Brothers' made a guest appearance, but this production offers somewhat improved sound and better transitions between concert and backstage footage. (Ages 7 and older) --

Synopsis
Pop singing sensations the Jonas Brothers make their feature-film debut in this three-dimensional concert experience. From their beginnings on the Disney Channel to the enormous fame that came after the 2007 release of their self-titled debut album, the New Jersey natives have followed a similar path to other tween pop idols like Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff. But unlike those two, the real-life brothers have mostly appeared as themselves, not adopting on-screen personae like Cyruss Hannah Montana. For a band so young, they take their music seriously and hold their fans dear. While theyve got producers working left and right to perfect their smooth look and sound, all three young men have a say in the bands creative direction.
Director Bruce Hendricks, who also directed HANNAH MONTANA/MILEY CYRUS: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS CONCERT TOUR, makes the most of the film's 3-D effects. Taking their musical act to the big screen, Kevin, Joe, and Nick delight their large pre-teen and teenage fan base with their cute looks, youthful energy, and musical optimism. The Disney film takes Jonas fans along with the band as they travel across the U.S. on their 'Burning Up' tour, with guest spots by Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato. The film is packed not only with concert material, but also with backstage happenings as the band uses its pop sensibilities to try to make sense of love, newfound celebrity, and growing up. Filmed in July and August of 2008, the film focuses largely on two concert venues: Anaheim's Honda Centre, and New York's Madison Square Garden. Fan favourites are performed alongside one previously unreleased Jonas Brothers track, 'Love Is On Its Way'.
