Featured reviews
This is a poor attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the American Idol show. Unfortunately they chose to use the people rejected from the show as cast. Save the ticket fee this one comes out on video in July. Or you can keep an eye on the Late, Late, Late Show, you will see this one with its twin Glitter.
IMDb should consider creating a "0" rating below the current "1".
The description should read "dreadful".
Truly, a complete waste of time and resources.
This is the one aspect of being a father I can do without: Having to sit through an 82 minute eternity of this garbage.
The acting by these two American Idol "stars" is naturally primitive, however, one would think ("one" being the producers who are responsible for the millions of dollars it takes for a major motion picture) that someone would have given these kids acting lessons.
What may even be more frightening is that this picture probably made oodles of money.
Sometimes it is embarrassing to be an American.
Miss this one.

I was forced to go see this with a friend for her birthday. I knew it would be dumb but thought that it would at least be something to laugh at. It was one of those rare movies that is too bad even for perverse entertainment. As it began I thought well the story will be stupid but maybe it will have good songs. The songs were the worst part! The transitions into these musical numbers were so awkward. And the songs themselves were not remotely entertaining. Kelly comes off as likable in the movie but I grew to despise every other character in the space of 15 minutes. I don't see this becoming a cult classic. It also made me feel relieved that I never went to Florida for Spring Break. Kelly Clarkson is a sweet girl but she should stick to singing and get a new agent.
Couldn't believe my eyes at this shameful, pathetic excuse for a movie. It isn't even a movie, just an excuse for the producers to squeeze a few extra dollars out of last year's American Idol finalists. I feel sorry for director Robert Iscove; not because I think his films are any good, but because this movie will permanently discredit him as a director. 1/10, and that's only because there's no '0' option.
This movie is terrible because it was made 40 years too late. The American Idol hype fueled the studios ambition to crank out a quick blah blah story about Justin and Kelly. The end result, a soup sandwich with no audience. The fact that what works on television doesn't always work on the "big screen," is true in the case of From Justin to Kelly. The production value is professional and many of the dance numbers took long hours and hours to practice and to get right. Still, nobody cares. The movie itself (on paper) was a joke to begin with. There are only a handful of lines worth hearing through this 90 minute movie. The rest can be considered pop-culture junk or better yet, left overs that nobody wants to have for dinner.
Did you know
- TriviaKelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini were contractually obliged to participate in this movie because of their commitment to American Idol (2002).
- GoofsDuring the dance sequence for "That's the Way (I Like It)" Kelly's shoes change twice. At the beginning, she is wearing open-toed black shoes, which turn to sneakers for about two seconds, then back to open-toed shoes. At the end, she's wearing sneakers.
- Alternate versionsAn extended version, running about nine minutes longer than the theatrical version, is available on video and DVD which has a few extended scenes including a "Dare to Be Bare" contest, and two extra musical numbers called "Brighter Star" and "With Love From Me to You." Also the musical number, "Wish Upon a Star" is slightly extended with addtional lyrics and more sensual dancing.
