Longshot Audience Reviews

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Peter Saxe One of those so bad it's funny movies...There's no point in even pretending to take this movie seriously...It is what it is..It's about cute guys!!! Cute guys!! and the exploitation of the junk music that they sing..To think that Lou Pearlman, that sleaze, probably had his way with most of the boy-band kids in this movie, since he created them... from NSYNC to O-Town.. the entire Transcontinental family of boy bands... I swear, if I was a rich, sleazy, fat slob who lusted after teen young men... that's how I'd get them... I'd start a management company to develop boy bands.. I can see it now ("sure, you're talented, but so are other guys who don't mind making an old man happy from time to time..... now think about how much you want that musical career.... so sign the contract, so I will promote you to death, work you to death.. and take All your money..... and I will own you....)I still can't believe that NSYNC participated in this... weren't they beyond things like this in 2000? Didn't they already separate from Lou Pearlman by then....? Or did this movie trigger all the "get me out of here" lawsuits...One cameo after another featuring bad puns related to that person's career..Longshot is what it is... a bad movie that doesn't pretend to be what it's not
littleone2235 Great flick. All the boy band cameos along with the other cameos were hilarious in themselves. It has adventure, crime, drama, a love story, music, sports, and comedy all in one film. A must see. Where pray tell can I find a heartthrob like Sculthorpe to sweep me off my feet? Joey Sculthorpe is such a hottie. He is a great actor and a wonderful singer. Love his voice.
nop_inc Another 90 minute commerical to boost sales for pop albums. the worst thing about it was the absence of a story line, and some of the stars ability to act. Basically, it's just another excuse to put a bunch of music stars in one movie. IMO i'd say that Da Hip Hop Witch had a way better plot. the highlights of the movie are Danielle Fishel and Paul Sorvino (the reason continued to watch). it also was kind of funny to see Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) get beat up by a 16 yr old. Just watch and see for yourself to see how bad you think it is.
sexxy_karebear007 Oy... I just saw this movie a little while ago and I could not believe how horrible it was! Generally I rented it to see the cameos by O-Town and NSync, but relented and watched the whole thing... I can not believe how bad it was!!!!! Lou Pearlman made a cameo appearance in the movie and I think that was a horrible idea... The fact that he had to be in the movie he funded and had his bands plugging it and cameoing in it was bad enough but combine that with bad acting and a horrible script, and you've got the worst movie I've ever seen... I would only recommend it if you want to see that stuff. Or unless you want to see short cameo appearances of Justin Timberlake as a valet, Britney Spears as a flight attendant and O-Town as, well, O-Town and we can't forget the dangling phone cords of Erik and Ashley as the salesmen of "Longshot" which Trevor orders..... Well you get the point... Bottomline: DON'T BOTHER!
