I Heart Jonas Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With Valentine's Day coming up, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has released the second volume of the Jonas Brother's Disney Original Series "JONAS" titled "I Heart JONAS". The comedy series is reminiscent to another classic music-based comedy shows such as "The Partridge Family" or "The Monkeys" in which the storylines focus on a topic and is essentially a comedy series. Also, similar to those classic shows, the Jonas Brothers perform a song relating to the show.
"JONAS" revolves around the three Lucas brothers who are in a popular band and try to live their lives like regular high school kids and attend high school. In the first DVD volume "JONAS: Rockin' the House", the episodes focused with storylines featuring each brother and their adventures. But this time around, with Valentines Day around the corner, all seven episodes focus on Joe Lucas and Stella.
The two have grown up with each other since they were babies and both like each other but due to the Lucas's success in the music world, Joe knows that he can't have any relationships. While Stella, being the band's designer knows that and so both try to keep their distance from each other and keep it as friends. But can they ditch their emotions and how they feel for each other and watch each other date other people?
In the second volume of "JONAS: I Heart Jonas", the DVD features the following episodes:
* Fashion Victim (Episode 7) - The Lucas Brothers have an important meeting with the Queen but when Joe gets jealous of Stella and Van Dyke going on a date, he accidentally messes up their outfits for their upcoming meeting.
* Love Sick (Episode 10) - Joe invites Stella to a fashion show. Meanwhile, Macy finds someone that can be a Nicky wannabe.
* Three Musketeers (Episode 11) - The Lucas brothers are selected in the school play of The Three Musketeers but Joe is shy on stage and doesn't want to be part of it and is replaced by Van Dyke. But when he hears that Stella gets the part of female lead and has a kissing scene with Van Dyke, Joe gets jealous.
* Karaoke Surprise (Episode 14) - It's the 15th Friendship Anniversary and the Lucas Brothers want to plan a surprise party for Stella.
* Chasing the Dream (Episode 6) - Kevin let's Macy become their backup singer. But when she turns out to be awful, Kevin knows he must do something about it.
* Frantic Romantic (Episode 12) - Movie star Fiona Skye uses Joe's popularity by letting the tabloids know that she is dating Joe (when they actually are not). How can Joe stop Fiona from using him.
* Forgetting Stella's Birthday (Episode 16) - It's Stella's birthday and usually the guys don't forget but when they have an important interview, they all forget. Stella assumes they are planning a secret birthday party.
* Double Date (Episode 18) - When Stella goes on a date with Van Dyke, Joe gets even more jealous.
VIDEO & AUDIO:
"I Heart Jonas" is presented in Full Screen (1:33:1) and is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 Surround Sound. The picture quality is different from other Disney Channel shows in that it's filmed like a drama series and is not in front of a live audience. Audio quality is front and center channel-driven and dialogue is understandable and music is clear.
Subtitles are featured in English SDH and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"I Heart Jonas" comes with the following special features:
* You Just Been Jo Bro'd! - Suprising Jordin Sparks - (10:39) Similar to a show like `Punk'd', the Jonas Brothers prank their friend Jordin Sparks.
* Dylan & Cole Sprouse: Blu-Ray is Suite - (4:45) A featurette about Blu-ray and High Definition.
* Learn How to Take Your Favorite Movies on the Go - (1:03) A Featurette explaining what a Disney Digital Copy is.
The DVD also comes with three magnets featuring each member of the Jonas Brothers.
JUDGMENT CALL:
As a guy who has reviewed many shows from female and male idol groups worldwide, "I Heart Jonas" is one of those shows that I found fun, but also campy but know that the series will more than likely appeal to the Jonas Brothers fans. And for fans, especially the parents, this is a solid DVD release that you'll definitely get your money's worth.
I did feel that "I Heart Jonas" was much more enjoyable than the first volume because it features a recurring theme which revolves around Joe and Stella's feelings for each other. The three grew up with each other and care highly for each other but the problem is that because he's in a band and she is an employee, they know they shouldn't mix pleasure with business. But the two enjoy each others company so much and get very jealous when each are dating other people. Will Joe and Stella hook up or realize that they shouldn't?
For those who are more Kevin or Nick Jonas fans, although this volume focuses on Joe mostly, there are short storylines in each episode with both brothers but unlike the first volume which spreads each episode out and featuring on each brother, "I Heart Jonas" are specifically Joe and Stella driven episodes.
So, for the Jonas Brothers fans, if you enjoyed "JONAS" on the Disney Channel, you'll definitely enjoy volume 2 of "JONAS" with their latest DVD "I Heart Jonas".

Jonas Rockin' the House (Volume 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I start, I just want to clarify that I am 21 years old and I love love love the tv show JONAS. I get excited on Sundays and I set my VCR (I know, I know, old school but we can't afford TiVo right now) to record it. This means I have all the episodes aired on tape and was only buying it so I could switch over to DVD to make them last longer. Before anyone else does this they should know the DVD doesn't come with all the aired episodes. It only comes with 5 episodes plus the 2 unseen episodes.
Spoilers!
___________________________________________________________________________
These episodes are:
Groovy Movies:
The three brothers are planning to swtich all their home movies over to DVD for their mom's brithday (hey! maybe I should have done this instead of buying it. Too bad I would have missed the JO Bro'd thing though.) Instead they accidently ruin their mom's tapes but come up with a way to fix it for her instead!
This is a cute episode. The boys with obviously do anything for their mom and the videos they make are the funniest things! Plus you get to watch real life Jonas home videos and there is nothing wrong with that.
Wrong Song:
Nick falls in love too fast with this girl who he is teaching guitar to. He writes her a song (that gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day once I have heard it) and then she uses that song for her performance and dedicates it to another guy! Ahh! Song: "Give Love a Try"
This episode is okay. Nick's acting is a little stiff, probably cause this is the first episode. He loosens up in later episodes and has a better subtle acting that is hilarious. The girl in this is very annoying and shows the future of what the girls are going to be like on this show.
Pizza Girl:
All three brothers fall in love with the pizza girl. They decide to not like her, then like her, then not like her again. Invite her over, freak ker out and move on to chinese. Song: "Pizza Girl"
Classic cute video with a catchy song! Humorous lines like "I'm going up against two Mack Daddies." Even my mother chuckles at this episode and she is hard to impress.
Band's Best Friend:
Joe's friend Carl is coming to stay for a few days and all he can think about is that the Jonas's are rock stars now. He forgets to be normal and acts like a "pushing annoying guy." Song: "Work it Out"
I really don't like this episode but not because of the boys or anything they might do. I don't like Carl and how he acts. I know it's part of the plot but then it's a bad plot. I also don't like the whole "fourth Jonas" angle. There is ALREADY a fourth Jonas.
Chasing the Dream:
The boys need a new backup singer and Macy gets Kevin to let her do it. Unfortunatly Macy's voice sounds like a manatee. Song: Keep It Real
I love this episode! The theme of just singing because you love it even if you are terrible is sweet. The guys try to protect her and there is one moment that almost broke my heart. Plus Kevin has moments where he tries to sing and no one lets him. It's priceless.
********Two Unseen Episodes!!******* (Spoilers! Spoilers!)
Beauty and the Beat:
Stella enters a beauty pageant because she thinska ll the girls are too dumb to beat her. Joe, Nick and Kevin has to judge and are worried because the rest of the girls are really talented and will probably beat Stella. Stella chokes on tv and starts freaking out. Luckily the guys save her. Song: Work It Out
It was an okay episode. Any girls who think that they will one day up with a JO Bro, Beware! They drool over a lot of girls in this episode!
Cold Shoulder:
Kevin has a crush on this Scandanavian foreign exchange student Anya. They are both dorky together and Kevin is happy he finally found a girl who will accept his kookiness. Until she dumps him. She found out that every laughs at him when they are being silly and she thinks that he needs an American girlfriend so no one will laugh. Song: "Left My Heart"
One of the saddest episodes ever. Kevin's acting was priceless. It was almost bittersweet. I still loved it cause I love Kevin and any episode that features him is great. Also he has a SOLO SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that's right. A SOLO SONG!! It's very good and I love his voice. Of course every episode has its freaken hilarious lines that make me crack up.
_______________________________________________________
The episodes not on the DVD:
Keeping It Real: The boys try to do chores.
Fashion Victim: Joe ruines Stella's date.
That Ding You Do: Joe crushes on a cello girl.
Complete Repeat: Nick has writer's block and has to repeat his whole bad day.
Love Sick: Joe and Stella question their relationship.
The Three Musketeers: The boys try at acting in the Three Musketeers.
Frantic Romantic: A girl uses Joe to become famous.
Detention: Joe accidently causes his friend to get detention.
Karaoke Surprise: They plan a surprise party for Stella on their Friend-a-versary.
Home Not Alone: They are left home alone for the first time.
_________________________________________________________
Also on the dvd is the "You Just Been Jo Bro'd" where they play a prank on their friend Chelsea Staub who plays Stella. I wont give it away but awhile it's funny it doesn't has the same type of finess as the people who play pranks for real (such as Punk'd.)
Overall, it is a good dvd and the extra episodes were great.
The packaging could have better explained what shows I was buying. It wasn't until I got it into my DVD player and onto Menu that I found out.
If anyone was looking to collect all the episodes then they better hope that Disney releases the rest of the episodes. Because if not than it was almost a letdown to find out that there were only the 5 episodes. However, if the rest ARE going to be released then I would recommend it for anyone who wants to start collecting the series on dvd.
Jonas rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
