A brilliant film that helped define a genre

A Brilliant Conflict

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

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

This "movie" is possibly the worst movie I have ever witnessed. The cliché''s, stereotypes and unoriginality breeds for a disgusting and face-palming experience.The stupidity of the characters is almost equal to that of the actors talent.Every character and event that occurred in this movie annoyed me greatly.The movie simply acted as a form of advertising for the boy band and watching it was intellectually challenging.I recommend to no one.

First off, this isn't the worse movie i have ever seen, but its definitely not one Im going to go back and watch countless times... I found the plot line to be way too unbelievable: A girl loves Dream Street to a point where it probably should be considered a mental illness, but especially Chris Trousdale (way to conform with almost every other girl who likes Dream Street). So in order to feed her obsession, Debbie and her pseudo-bad ass best friend, Charlotte, decide to buy some Dream Street tickets from a scalper. Charlotte has absolutely no haggling skills.. she stars with $50, then jumps to $200, then to $500. Unfortunately, Debbie and Charlotte ignored the first cardinal rule of ticket scalping, and failed to check the date on the tickets... WRONG DATE DEBBIE! Unfortunately, Charlotte just lost $500 she had in her account for Cosmetology School.But uh-oh, on the tour bus Chris gets sick and is given way to much medicine, and he gets a little "groggy" and gets behind the wheel of a huge truck, and drives, because thats what people do when they don't want to perform. Luckily for the homely looking, main character, Debbie, Chris inexplicably ends up in her neighborhood; crashing the truck into the front yard of Debbie's stereotype Chinese neighbor, Pat Morita.So Chris sees a cardboard cutout of himself through Debbie's window, and being so hammered from cough medicine, must think that its him or something... so Christ walks into Debbie's house (lucky for him the front door to her house is open, in the middle of the night!), and wanders up the stairs... Luckily, Chris wanders into the correct room, and hops into bed with Debbie, who doesn't even shift around.When Debbie wakes up the next morning she looks at her cardboard cutout and says "Good morning baby!" (I guess we can pool Debbie with the girls who make out with the posters of boys in their room), while Christ groggily replies "'Morning Sweetie" and cuddles with Debbie, before she realizes THERE IS A STRANGERS IN HER BED!!!! Then Debbie frantically glances from the boy, to the cardboard cutout, as if she doesn't recognize Chris... Then she calls Charlotte, tells her, goes to school, gets ridiculed by the rich popular people for being a fat loser, and she goes home to bond with Chris, where he decides to stay because he is sick of touring...Over the course of the next few days, Debbie goes to school, gets made fun of while still being all positive, goes home, avoids doing chores, be with Chris, and that just repeats, while Dream Street songs play every few minutes. Then it turns out Chris loves school, especially math (so the "It Happens Every time" music video lied to us about him struggling with math!), and he goes to school with Debbie, dressed in a ridiculous Stever Urkel outfit. The fact that people don't recognize him is about as ridiculous as the staff at the Daily Planet not recognizing Clark Kent as Superman (a good analogy that is used in this movie, but in a different way).So after being all profoundly smart in school, giving answers that sound intelligent but aren't actually logical, Christ asks Debbie to prom... in her "annoying beyond believe" voice, Debbie tells Charlotte the good news... Charlotte volunteers to do her hair, and make her look like a model (a plus sized model maybe... I'm sorry that was mean and uncalled for). THEN, like all bad movies, there was a montage!!!! Debbie trying on dresses, Chris trying on tuxes... DAMN! So Chris gets Debbie in a limo, she is dressed in a black and white dress and looks kind of like a prostitute... they go to prom.The girls at prom think Debbie got a Chris Trousdale look-a-like, and to prove them wrong, Chris goes and changes in his collared, button-down, silk shirt, and his sunglasses (sunglasses in the middle of a dark gym... god i hate that)... BUT THEN, one of the jealous popular girls makes a call, and the people who have been looking for Chris show up, within a matter of seconds (literally, the popular girls left and the people showed up during the same song)... Chris was taken back... So with some help from her brother, Garfield, Debbie and Charlotte go to the concert, and Debbie goes on stage in the middle of a song, and kisses Chris, THE MOVIE ENDS! The movie was kind of unbelievable, and was only mildly entertaining. Throughout the whole movie, you could just tell that Chris thought a lot of himself and was really egocentric... Everything that Debbie and Chris said to each other, and did while joking around, had an underlying sexual tone, just like all of Dream Streets songs (seriously, actually listen to their songs, they are gross... "wanna rock you steady baby...."). Also, aside form the concert sequence and the occasional mention of their names, the other boys from Dream Street weren't there, proving that the other boys' modesty actually balances out Chris's ego!...But i will admit, the cameos were good... Michael Winslow and Leslie Easterbrook were together, bringing back memories of Police Academy, and Pat Morito, who actually had no significance in this movie, but a humorous relief, made some comment about Daniel-son, which was clever...Overall, this movie wasn't terrible, but i wouldn't recommend going out of your way to see it... Don't waste money on renting it, but if its playing on TV and you don't have anything else to do, just sit down and watch it...

The reason why I have headed this rating "Good But Disappointing" is because I felt that ALL the Dream Street members would have actually had some lines in the movie and not just Chris Trousdale.Chris Trousdale, 17 at the time of the film, is a talented young man with a lot of potential to make it into anything that he puts his mind to. I am huge fan of Dream Street and being from the UK am also one of few who have actually heard of Dream Street.Each character, in my opinion, played completely different roles, all of which were played very well, especially Chris's and Kayla's. I must say that I most enjoyed the two cops who were very amusing and also the kid who played Garfield was also a joy to watch.Overall, I felt that is was a great film with a little more work to be done on the story line.Thanks for reading.

The Biggest Fan reminds me of Vanilla Ice's much maligned masterpiece, Cool As Ice. Both films are fabulously out of touch with reality, contain fun cameos from B-grade fan favourites and are based around dubiously talented male singers who use too much product in their hair. What more could you possibly ask for in a movie?! I'm not sure when I finished being appalled and started to really enjoy this film. I think it was probably when the awesome Pat Morita first appeared as Mr Lim or when I realised that the producers had somehow managed to get Michael Winslow and Leslie Easterbrook to virtually reprise their Police Academy roles. These cameos alone are worth the rental price! The film really doesn't have a plot to speak of. Chris Trousdale becomes tired of life touring with Dream Street (Sharing a tour bus with Jessie McCartney would drive anyone to insanity) and then, under the influence of cough medicine, manages to escape from boy-band hell in an 18 wheeler. Chris crashes the truck and inexplicably walks into the home of his biggest fan, Debbie. Luckily for Chris, Debbie's front door is unlocked and she appears to be a very heavy sleeper because Debbie doesn't bat an eyelid when Chris climbs into bed with her. The rest of the film involves Chris experiencing life as a normal teenager - complete with a fabulously unconvincing Steve Urkel disguise at school.I thought that Chris Trousdale was surprisingly competent in the main role. I guess he was only playing himself but it could have been a lot worse (See Mariah in Glitter for the worst singer/actor performance of all time). The actress who played Debbie has an annoying voice and a weird mouth but this just makes her more amusing.This film has future cult favourite written all over it. Lovers of crappy movies will find much to enjoy in this feast of hilarity.
