christian123 Luke (Strait) and Brier (James) are two beautiful young people who have a chance encounter on a New York subway. Shortly later, they both go to L.A. to find fame, he as a rock star and her as an actress, but when they run into each other again, they have to decide whether their relationship is strong enough to withstand "the business." Undiscovered was named by many as the worst film of 2005. I can't say I really agree with that. The movie is kind of weak but it's still tolerable and it's also pretty harmless. The premise is fairly interesting even if it's not very original. The execution is only average but still much better than expected. The romance is pretty weak though and just not very interesting. The two leads don't have enough chemistry to make the movie work. There are a few moments of intrigue and some nice performances but the end result is still unsatisfying. The reason the film is kind of lackluster is because of the writer and the director. John Galt wrote the screenplay and he fails to really add anything new to this movie. Also, Meiert Avis just keeps everything by the numbers without adding any surprises.The acting is only okay with Carrie Fisher giving the best performance. She isn't given a lot of screen time but she still manages to give a few funny lines. Pell James is pretty good as Brier Tucket. She has that "model" look and she has an engaging quality that kept focusing my attention to her. Steven Strait is only okay as Luke. He's a little dull but he has that "rock star" look that suited the character. Ashlee Simpson plays Clea and she is actually only a supporting character in the movie. Her performance is surprisingly average (like the film) but she should stick to singing. Shannyn Sossamon was just annoying and not funny while Kip Pardue was only okay.I think the supporting characters really kept this movie moving. The scenes between Clea and Brier were pretty nice and engaging. Most of the characters were also pretty likable so the viewer at least cares for a happy ending. The ending was surprisingly good but very obvious. The music wasn't as painful as I was expecting it to be. I don't really like the type of music that was performed in the film but some of the songs were decent. Of course, there were a few cheesy songs but they can't all be winners. I think the movie was unfairly bashed because of Ashlee Simpson's appearance. However, she didn't bring down the movie and the film itself wasn't horrible. In the end, Undiscovered isn't worth checking out but it's not a travesty either. Rating 5/10

teddyryan After seeing Pell in BROKEN FLOWERS, I decided I had to see some of her other work. Looking at the media information on UNDISCOVERED, I thought to myself - can't be that bad. You've got Ash Simpson and Los Angeles and good looking people and the infamous Peter "Robocop" Weller. Anyway, I watched UNDISOCVERED last night, and have to say: this film is rank. Directed by Meirret Avis (a veteran of music videos), the film is, to no surprise, nothing but a collection of music videos. The actors, who aren't bad (except for Carrie Fisher who obviously phones this one in for a paycheck), are victim to a lame storyline that make the OC seem complex. Furthermore, Pell isn't given much to work with since her character is the most poorly written of the bunch. In addition, Pell and Steven Straight share the combined on screen chemistry of highway gravel.

hogsmeadeweb I saw this movie and there was no one else in the entire theater.When it was over, I learned why.This movie was terrible. I was disinterested throughout the entire movie, and my friends and I talked the entire time. It was the worst movie. I guess that maybe its my taste that drove me away from this movie, but I thought that the acting was not that great, and Ashlee Simpson just didn't seem to fit for some reason. I found this movie boring mostly because the main character was just an average guy. A nice guy, in fact. It was just like watching someone that I knew. Terrible. When I watch movies, I want action, horror, fantasy, things that don't happen every day.

T_Man this is a review for anyone who doesn't care that ashlee simpson is in the movie or what it made at the box office and just want a movie to rent because they are bored.with that being said i found this movie entertaining. there was no point that i felt like i wanted to turn it off or watch another movie. i paid four bucks to rent it, do i regret it? no. i rented the movie despite the negative reviews because most of the people commenting on it had not seen it.the performance of the lead actress is effective but nothing special. i think its a crime they had shannyn sossamon cast for the movie and used her as the worst character in the entire movie. she could have been much better in the lead role. ashlee simpson was fine in the movie. she wasn't great but she was just really in a sidekick role, nothing demanding.the plot was good enough to keep my interest, the music was really good so i'm probably going to investigate the soundtrack and the direction was music video-esquire, i guess you can decide for yourself if that is a plus or a minus.so overall if you like movies that can be classified as 'cute' but aren't corny, if your someone who watches the OC on occasion or if you are just looking for a movie with feeling but isn't too heavy then i say go for undiscovered.
