Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

It doesn't belong at a megaplex. It should be playing on a Clear Channel station.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kevin CrustAdd Critic to Favorites

The whole movie could be clipped by about 95 minutes and it would make a swell little video for Simpson's performance of the title cut from the soundtrack.Read the full review

Variety | Robert KoehlerAdd Critic to Favorites

As a cautionary drama on the price of fame, Undiscovered could not tread on more exhaustively discovered territory, and the result is a reel-by-reel trail of cliches.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

The vapid teen talent show Undiscovered turns on a plot point so moronic that even the most dedicated bad-movie buffs have cause to stay away.Read the full review

The New York Times | Jeannette CatsoulisAdd Critic to Favorites

Though filled with romantic contrivances and overlong musical numbers, Undiscovered is curiously lifeless. Bland actors portray single-cell characters in a plot scarcely more diverting than Ms. Simpson's reality vehicle, "The Ashlee Simpson Show."Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Michael RechtshaffenAdd Critic to Favorites

An entirely dispensable, soapy caricature of a love story that comes complete with a jukebox full of music industry cliches plus Ashlee Simpson's big feature film debut.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter HartlaubAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie plays more like a WB network teen drama than something audiences should be expected to pay to see.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

As Brier's comrade-in-lip-gloss, Ashlee Simpson, dressed to look like a teenybop girl version of Crispin Glover in "River's Edge," is the real deal -- in fake cred.Read the full review

Washington Post | Ann HornadayAdd Critic to Favorites

Indeed, I'd say Undiscovered belongs on the WB, but that would be gravely unfair to the channel, which looks like the BBC in comparison.Read the full review
