Chicago Tribune
The film is awkwardly stitched together from candy-gloss arena concert footage and somewhat grimier-looking backstage/limo/hotel room moments. There is no attempt to make it all hang together as an organic whole.

Variety
At 76 minutes, the film is nearly twice as long as even the band's most dedicated admirers might need, with weariness setting in around the 40-minute mark.

The New York Times Nathan Lee
Isn't a movie so much as a devotional object, a kind of secular fetish designed to induce rapture.

The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
Certainly their musicianship and onstage professionalism are smooth, though maybe a bit too smooth. There is little spontaneity in anything they do.

USA Today
The threat may be as illusory as the thrills in Jonas Brothers are contrived. But that won't stop Jonas junkies from enjoying their magical mystery tour.

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

OK for kids 7+

Young Jonas fans will adore the Brothers' concert flick.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this 3D concert is G-rated. There's nothing inappropriate to keep away the hordes of adoring primary-school fans, who along with their tween and teen counterparts, will want to see their beloved Kevin, Joe, and Nick burn up on screen. Like Disney's other chosen acts, the Jonases are incredibly clean-cut. They obviously don't drink, swear, or do much more than occasionally, in the case of Joe, flirt with a pretty fan or two. When they're not on stage, they're shown attending promotional events around New York.

Families can talk about the Jonas Brothers' popularity. What makes the Brothers the latest Disney-anointed phenomenon?
How do they compare to Hannah Montana?
Why is their music so appealing to younger kids?
Does the concert moviegive a real look at the Brothers off stage?
What else would you haveliked to see about Kevin, Joe, and Nick?

The good stuff

Messages: The brothers seem very close, and they're a wholesome,family-friendly trio.

What to watch for

Violence and scariness: No violence except for the hordes of girls who follow thebrothers everywhere.
Sexy stuff: Screaming, crying girls swoon over the three Jonas Brothers,and in one quick scene, the audience catches a glimpse of a shirtless Joe andKevin starting to change backstage.
Language: "Oh my God" is as strong as it gets.
Consumerism: The Jonas Brothers themselves are the "product" ondisplay throughout the film -- and it serves as a powerful promotionaltool for the unbelievably popular act.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue
