Release Date:

August 30, 2013

Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry and Louis’ meteoric rise to fame, from their humble hometown beginnings and competing on the X-Factor, to conquering the world and performing at London’s famed O2 Arena.”

Poster: C

Review: A generic poster for a generic band. I’d give it a higher rating for being fitting were it not so easily forgettable.

Trailer: C / B-

Review: Obviously geared towards existing fans, the first trailer showcases a tiny fraction of the background material potential in the film and focuses primarily on the historical elements that would most appeal to fans.

In the second trailer, however, gives more compelling information about the type of documentary the audience can expect. It seems more broadly interesting and makes the band members seem more like reasonable kids who found stardom instead of the manufactured quintet that we all believe that they are.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
