A fledgling American idol discovers that even superstars need to do their math in this family comedy starring platinum recording artist Aaron Carter.

Sent by to public high school by his concerned parents who have threatened to cancel his upcoming summer tour, the young singing sensation causes an immediate stir among his admiring peers. With a daunting math test looming close on the horizon and no time to learn, J.D. schemes to cheat off of his nerdy classmate Jane Brighton (Alana Austin). As the two study buddies become close and J.D. begins to develop feelings for the misfit math wiz, the prom plans of the school's reigning diva and the rumor-fueled tabloids threaten to derail both their relationship and J.D.'s entire career. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I can't say I was surprised that this was awful. I mean, with Aaron Carter as the leading "man," how could it be anything else? I suppose if I was 10, I would probably have found this enjoyable. But it's full of cliches, not to mention vomit-inducing cameos by former teen stars. ... read moreI don't know what possessed me to rent this and to then sit through it in its entirety, but I wish I hadn't.

    The only reason I gave it three stars is because Natalia Livingston rocks! The movie sucks though!!!

    This was exactly what I expected. Very predictable and typical type of movie. I still thought It was good, although the acting was poor and Aaron Carter didnt do a very good job, but it wasnt anything too exciting.

    Stereotypes and Partridge Family cameos galore. The worst part was that they put their main actress in braces (probably to enhance the geek factor) and she sounded muffled and unused to them.
