One Direction: This Is Us!

Not exactly sure if you can call this a movie...more of a documentary, but it hit big in the cinemas, so I guess it counts right? haha! Now don't get me wrong, I am in no way a massive die hard 1D groupie, screaming at the very sight of them like a teenage girl, quite the opposite...in actual fact before watching this (having been forced to by my niece) I knew very little about these boys. I do like their albums though and may have listened to them on the way to work each day for a while (yep one of those guilty pleasure bahaha).

Opinions, criticisms and all negativity aside.....lesbihonest here....they are international superstars. Having number 1s in 37 countries....holding numerous sell out tours, even just the evidence of having this movie shows they have hit the BIG TIME. And all this from the beginnings of x-factor, a show that they didn't even win! 5 ordinary guys to 5 idolised popstars in the space of a few years....

So back to the movie....it follows their story, their background, their journey so far. Opening weekend it made $18 million in the U.S of A! - basically all the teenage girls of America!

There isn't really much I can say about the movie, it was probably a waste of my time watching it and I will never watch it again, but thats mainly because I'm not too bothered about how they became famous or about their individual backgrounds, all I need to know is they started on xfactor and now sell millions of albums which has made them hugely famous.

We did see clips at the end of the movie with some pranks being pulled off....which would have been better if they had used things like that as a premise for the film, instead of just somewhat fake and scripted tame versions of the 5 personalities.

Anyhow, if you are a teenage girl of course you will love it....if you are a parent having to take your daughter then unlucky haha. Other than that I don't see a reason why people would go see this....

Rating 3/10 (and it only gets that because I like their music :P)

CH

P.S. I must say though this music video to their latest single did make me laugh!
