Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience

(Touchstone Pictures) A concert documentary featuring Nick , Kevin and Joe Jonas . Rated G. Time 76 minutes. $15.00 per ticket

In Jonas Brother: The 3D Concert Experience, Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas — the 80's retro-clad brothers — perform in what is supposed to be raw, untooled, excerpts from their 2008 ``Burnin' Up'' tour, intermingled with behind-the-scenes footage of life on the road.

The audience is introduced to a new ballad, ``Love Is on Its Way,''. Fans are also treated to guest performances by Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift. The 3D effects include the usual guitar pick flicking, water spritzing, and microphone in your face. Nothing spectacular, but be prepared to feel silly when you instinctually duck!

We have to use the term documentary really loosely. I won't argue semantics here, it's the Jonas Brothers powered by the Disney magic machine. Enter a theater filled to capacity, every seat has a screaming tween girl anxiously waiting to see, in true to life 3D, her hearts one desire, a Jonas Brother.

Fawn, swoon, scream, cry, faint, that is the usual reaction to these three young, promise ring wearing music makers.

It is estimated that they will head the box office sales numbers in the opening weekend with a healthy 25 million. The strength of the movie itself doesn't matter all that much. Disney proved that with the Hannah Montana 3D Concert Experience movie. But if you are one of the lucky girls who finds herself in a theatre in which they chose to make a live appearance, well nothing else quite matters.

As far as the Jonas Brothers go, they are nice kids. Their music, most of which is penned by them, is catchy and evolving. And after all they are handsome young musicians. Many a young girl has swooned over less. However, for $15 a ticket even a starry-eyed tweenage girl should expect a bit more. I know Moms do. If you have the option I think waiting for the video seems more economically sound. And at least you can leave the room when the screaming starts....
