How bad is From Justin to Kelly? Set in Miami during spring break, it's like Grease: The Next Generation acted out by the food-court staff at SeaWorld.

Industrial-strength insipidity diluted only marginally by bad music and worse dancing.

Laura Sinagra Village Voice (Top Critic)

Amid this glad tumble of Limited lycra ... surreality seeps in: American flags fly prominently; and despite sideline breakin', all rappers are white.

A better-than- expected diversion that likely won't leave anyone feeling cheap or cheated.

[From Justin to Kelly] is basically a more wholesome MTV Dance Party, the musical festivities interrupted every so often to search for a plot.

Not many people really expected From Justin to Kelly to be any good. But was it too much to ask that it at least have a plot?

Pic's residence in theaters looks to be about as brief as a spring break hotel stay.

One of the worst movies you'll ever see -- but it's still not worth seeing.

Richard James Havis Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

A deodorized beach romance that plays the unpretentious personalities of Clarkson and Guarini to the hilt.

From Justin to Kelly is less a movie than a big-screen bobblehead of Fox TV's phenomenon American Idol.

Is it too late to vote them off? For once, we don't have to tell you how bad a film is... you knew before they made it.

From Justin to Kelly is bad, but Glitter is still worse because Glitter thinks it's a great movie.

From Justin to Kelly is just one of those films, a bottomless well of snark fodder that may come and go in theatres but will surely be spun innumerable times on DVD at parties in the years to come.

Fans of the television show may show up for this one, but given that an American Idol sequel has already ended its run, audiences are likely to find it stale.
