Rating: PG

Running time: 94 minutes

Box Office Gross: N/A

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

Pop star Aaron Carter, stars as what else, a pop star, in a film called, well, "Pop Star." Carter plays, J.D. McQueen, a teen pop singer, who decided to drop the tutors and go to a regular high school, as being a child star, his grades begin to suffer.

He meets pretty, Alan Austin, a very intelligent, yet somewhat geeky, high school student that makes great grades. He asks her to tutor him and she accepts, hoping he will fall in love with her. A few problems do arise, but I won't ruin the ending for you (like you're really gonna watch it) but it is a cute one, albeit cheesier than cheddar.

However, this movie kind of disturbed me, because Lou Perlman is in it, as he financed it. As some of you may know at this point, Perlman is in jail for running a massive ponzi scheme and even worse, the teenage boybands he used to manage, have since stated in interviews, he would sexually prey on some of them. Do keep in mind, some of these boys were underage at the time.
