The greatest movie ever!

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

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.

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.

This movie was better than what I expected! They should definitely make a second part! I want to know what happens when he comes off tour and if they get into a relationship or not! Matt did an excellent job at acting and I really think he should start doing it. Very pleased with this movie. 10/10. If they make a second movie I would love to see more about Jordans life and more from his point of view. The movie is basically a fan girls fan fiction come to life and yes I did fan girl a little not going to lie , but I would honestly love to see a second part to this movie. If you haven't watched it , go watch it , you won't be let down! And if you're from the UK and want to watch it , they have put it on Netflix.

Better than I expected, "Be Somebody" is about a famous pop singer (played by Matthew Espinosa) who "escapes" his mom/manager and assorted handlers for a few days and lives the life of a regular teenager in a small town. He meets a hardworking, talented, down to earth girl (played by Sarah Jeffery); and despite their lives being complete opposites, they hit it off and become friends quickly. Of course, there is more than a friendly spark between them; but he cannot stay in her world and she cannot be in his world. If a fine balance isn't met, then their budding romance is doomed from the start. "Be Somebody" is not the typical teen movie. Yes, it has a few clichés; but it also leans toward the melodramatic and serious side, and most of the scenes involve just Espinosa and Jeffery. This is a movie older teens will appreciate and find refreshing, I think. My most memorable, movie moment of "Be Somebody" is the scene when Jeffery lets Espinosa in her car so he can avoid a few teen girls who are chasing him. Completely unbelievable, as she has no idea who he is; and therefore is letting a stranger in her car at night. Still, it was a cute scene.Mannysmemorablemoviemoments
