Review of Undiscovered

Having not heard of this movie before walking into the video store I was pleasantly surprised. I had no preconceived notions, I just knew the guy on front was familiar and that I had heard of a few of the actors. Now I am a huge freak about media in general; music, movies, books, etc... so when I saw their was a chance to get both music and a movie I gave this one a chance. The music was vivid, earthy, and solid. Steven Strait has a good voice and Ashlee Simpson was not annoying and evidently can sing... surprise of all. She wasn't half bad at playing herself on camera which is something her sister has never managed to pull off. The script wasn't perfect but in the end I cared about what happened to the characters. It was not the most heart tugging story, but had a real close shot at being real. The only thing that wasn't real was the ending but it was believable because she did live in the model world so it is possible that her agent (played subtly and well by Carrie fisher) would know someone that could pull off that happening (especially with a fun actor like Peter Weller). Go see this, don't spend to much on it but see it for the music and the fact that there are a lot worse movies out there than this one. You may not walk away with a changed life but you will probably walk away having enjoyed yourself.
