Lucas Bros. Daily JONAS Review & Thoughts #1

Hey you guys! So here’s my little review on the show. I was originally going to do a video on this (and maybe I will when I find the time since I’m still a little busy with school), but it’s much faster to write than make a video, so here I am.

Okay, so first off, I do believe that there is a bit of over-acting amongst some of the characters, but I don’t mind. I actually find it funny, and it adds to the humor of the show, especially during the parts with Kevin! Oh man, I think he’s going to be my favorite on this show, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a Kevin girl. His character on JONAS is reminiscent to his character, Jason in Camp Rock – the silly, quirky one. But it works.

I liked all the brotherly taunting on this show, too. It all makes for a good few laughs. It also makes me wonder if they’re really like this in real life, with Kevin cupping his hands teasingly, “Oh, look, it’s Nick’s broken heart!” and Joe inserting a complimentary sad-face. Anyway, I really like their interaction with each other on the show, and I like that they picked on small details that are familiar to the fans, like the fact that Nick doesn’t smile much, or that he’s the “serious” one. The Stella and Macy moments were hilarious, too! And I definitely get that Mandy-type vibe from Stella.

The song that Nick wrote for Penny was so cute. Although, when Nick was singing it to her, I was a little disturbed by his stare! And at the end when he was recording it with her, it sounded like she was singing louder than him? I’m not sure, but I admit, it was bothering me a little. But the song, overall, was quite lovely.

The only thing that kind of irks me is that I really don’t see much chemistry between the Jonas boys and the actors who play their parents. Maybe that’s just because we’ve already been exposed to their real parents and their take on family, but I just feel really awkward watching their show parents interact with them on the show. But it’s only the first episode, so maybe it’ll be easier to warm up to them as the season progresses.

And a little note about the critics:

Some people are taking this show way too seriously. Yes, the writing is easy to digest and no, there is no deep or abstract hidden meaning revealed at the end. But I think most people are forgetting that this is a kid’s show. And while I do run a fan site for this show, I am aware of what age group this show appeals to. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like it, and no, I am not belittling or devaluing it, I am simply presenting it as what it is: A KID’S SHOW. People are acting like this show was meant to be some sort of Oscars-Award-winning piece of work, when I’m pretty sure all of us can realistically say that it wasn’t. That doesn’t make it less enjoyable though.

And the comparisons are getting quite tedious and repetitive and unoriginal as well. No, I don’t believe JONAS will ever be anything like Hannah Montana, but why does it have to? I think it’s best to just let it be, and let them stand on their own, instead of rating their show against the fame of another.

I won’t try to make excuses as to why the views were (according to the judgment of critics) low, because I’m sure the reasons are endless. I can already see this being blown out of proportion just like the 3D Movie. The boys still sell have a large fanbase and they still sell out shows. They still have a lot of fans who love them very much, and this really doesn’t make a difference in where they are.
