Good flick. Chemistry with the leads was good. Not a bad story. Enjoyed it.

Objectively, we have a generic girl who's an underdog that randomly meets a guy who's a big deal, gets interested in her, and inevitably brings her to his flashy world. We went through vampires and werewolves and rich perverse 50 shades of grey guys, now we're down to this Justin Bieber fantasy. I kinda like how Justin.. I mean "Jordan" here is presented, though. He's a realistic person - a child pop star, popular with the dumb teens who listen to pop, exploited by his mother and the suits, being aware of the charade that his life is - personal relationships, fans, etc etc - all a publicity sham. Female pop stars never admit this, or even worse - are contempt with it and play into it (e.g. Ariana Grande and that blonde one with the ostrich legs), but the real Justin wasn't like this, so it's good that this movie version of him is humanized, it's not some 1-bit cliché. I think this movie's problem is that it targeted the wrong people - the aforementioned dumb teen girls who listen to pop - obviously they can't really grasp how good and real the story is because they don't know what real life is. But if you actually know a bit more about the world, you'll see that this is not a bad modern romcom at all. Most characters are really well written. Very authentic. Of course she gets to treat him terribly and constantly put him down even though he's already very humble and nice, because this is a female-pandering romcom after all. :) And that's where I took some points off because this is some really annoying, predictable and most importantly - unnecessary obligatory garbage. I refuse to believe that the women this movie is pandering to are so petty that they need to see this in literally every romcom. Oh and he gives his mom credit that "she made it all happen" even though that's not even remotely true with the real Bieber who made it happen by having a good singing voice and putting himself on YouTube, to be discovered by a talent scout - Scooter Braun. I know this isn't a documentary, even though it rips Bieber a lot, but those little changes for pandering's sake - I can't help but notice them. Also, a bit toooooo much shaky cam for such tepid scenes. Tone it down, it's not an action movie. Anyways, so yeah, it's a mixed bag, it has its cliché moments, by-the-books plot points, female pandering, but it's mostly very good. The people who made it had good intentions and it shows. And the characters, as well as the actors portraying them are wonderful.

I really liked it. Its a quiet film, no action but is powerfully lead by the dialogue and chemistry between the two leads. It felt like Jordan Jaye may have been modelled ever so slightly on Justin Bieber? Or maybe I am overthinking it. Highly recommend it!

3 October 2016. Finally a refreshing romance movie that isn't a knockoff of predictable, over the top romance comedy movies. This crisp and underplayed teen romance ironic genre has the photographic technique and ambiance of an independent movie more focused on the performance and storyline than on the corny mainstream manners that underlie most teen romantic comedies. Be Somebody has the teen pop star much more down to earth and seemingly sincere in the depiction of a boy whose life is not his own. The unknown teen artist on the other hand has a pretty every girl face that isn't a gorgeous model. There is a nice seriousness to this movie with overtones of humor in the irony between star and artist. This movie one of the most appealing in its sincerity and natural performances to come along in a romance movie in years.

If you, like me, are sick of the constant barrage of CGI laden fantasy killer thrillers that seem to be common in today's movie world, this is a pleasant little respite that features some character development and human interaction. I'm not sure why there is so much animosity towards this film. I found it to be an enjoyable if light weight film to watch. One criticism is the film is predictable. Well, it is a lightweight romantic not quite rom-com. By definition those are predictable. Have you ever seen one that isn't? And the acting of the two young leads is very good. I found them both to be appealing and to have a chemistry that made there interactions believable. Maybe the thing that bothers some reviewers the most is that there is no drama. Neither character is facing a 'life or death' trauma. It is just two young people examining the life choices they have made and will eventually need to make. If I have any criticisms to level, it is that for teenagers, these two seem to have the maturity level of 40 year-olds. And there lives are really too ideal. Emily's parents are too good to be real, and even Jordan's 'momager' shows a surprising mellow attitude. Oh, and any resemblance to that cookie-cutter, made-for-TV 'Starstruck' is superficial at best!

When I watched this movie's trailer I thought this was a copy of Starstruck,that DCOM where the main characters meets a pop superstar that she hates and after sharing some time together they got a love connection. Does that sounds like this movie? Yes. Is that 100% true? No. "Be Somebody" is more than a movie with a girl meeting a pop superstar and falling in love to each other. In this movie I watched two young artists trying to find themselves with the other one's help. For me, it was a very slow plot but that didn't make stop watching it. The message is there since the first scene. It's also a movie that you can have fun watching it. Definitely something you should watch in a free time just to have a good time and a little dose of inspiration.

Be Somebody is a 2015 film about a teenage pop-star's escape from his celebrity life and his developing relationship with a normal girl. I agree that the plot is quite cliché, but his film definitely brings a lot of meaning topics to the table. One significant difference between the two protagonists is their relationship with their parents. As the opening scene shows, Emily's parents are extremely indifferent; while Jordan's mother, also his manager, over-concerns. Even though the film extravagates Emily's parents' indifference, I must say that it is a worthy topic to be discussed. With the fast pace in current society and high pressure from nowadays workplace, modern people, not just parents, have grown a habit of indifference. Another intriguing topic that this movie has brought up is the celebrity pressure. Celebrity pressure has been a constant them in celebrity with non-famous people Rom com. This film is interesting because it is a teen movie about teenage celebrities. The other teenage movies such as Another Cinderella Story, Hannah Montana and Camp Rock tend to focus more on the shiny, fun side of the celebrity life. This movie discusses celebrity's identity. One character says that "He is celebrity, so he is not real." There has been a constant discussion of celebrity's identity. Are they just fake images that are built to be worshiped? This movie gives a sneak peak of celebrity's real self when they are no longer on the media altar. This movie also again confirms that even as successful as Jordan, there is something he wants from normal people's life. The celebrity and non-famous Rom com genre works as a modern, more realistic fantasy. I have always look at films as a window for audience to fantasize and let go of reality. This film does it very well and at the same time discuss realistic problems in modern family and in celebrities' image. There are parallel between this film and a 1999 film Notting Hill (Of course, this film is far not as good). Even though both film discuss the pressure and the downside of being celebrity, they also show the power a celebrity has. I think Be Somebody is a film worth notice.

I honestly really enjoyed this movie. I wish it was a bit longer, and I wish there was a little more romance in it, but I'm aware it is a movie made for teenagers. I also wish at the end it would have focused more on Jordans career and not only Emily, but the message the movie is sending out is inspiring. You can only hope to meet someone who will have such an impact on your life, and help you discover parts of yourself that you didn't even know existed. Again, the only downfall for me was how short it was! I've followed Matt Espinosa for a while, so that is the reason I watched it but I am being completely honest in the review. For older adults it may not come off as something you'd normally watch, but it's a movie that's great for all ages. I definitely plan on watching it again!

Easy, fairly predictable watch, passes the time, no better or worse than any of the other teenage love type movies out there. I didnt HATE it but I diddnt love it. It was alright.
