Review: Okey, let's be honest here: this was Erin's first work after Power Rangers, blonde is really not her thing and she had to wear the single ugliest outfit I have ever seen her wear EVER (and that's INCLUDING "Fast Track").
This movie is not good. I know I'm probably biased, but I think Erin was the only one capable of doing something remotely good with the absolutely pointless and idiotic character she had.
There are geuinely only two reasons to watch this movie: a) You are a HUGE fan of Erin and REALLY want to support her (my case); or b) you like movies about talentless unknown boy-bands who can't dance and sound like little girls when they are singing.
This movie is filled with non-sense characters, the actress who got the lead was rather ugly (it all has to be said) and the plot is so sugary it will give you cavities. The actor who played the master on the Karate Kid movies has the single most pointless character in history, and they tried way too hard to give each character something weird to try to make them funny and failed miserably at it. And why were all the girls in the movie crazy about the supposedly famous brat, I will NEVER know, because he wasn't attractive in the slightest bit.
About Erin's Character: Her name is Montana Wastedberg, and she is a blonde airhead girl (in the same style as The Plastics from "Mean Girls") who is supposed to be mean to someone who really has all the potential in the world to be the target of infinite cruel jokes (a.k.a. The Leading Lady). However, Montana and her even more idiotic side-kick were completely unable to say something actually mean and were twarted (I think that's the right word) in each attempt they made, this is despite the fact they were both actually much prettier than the Leading Lady, and were SUPPOSED to be making her life a hell. Literally, every time Montana and her side-kick walked away looking insulted, I could think of at least ten hurtful things to snap back. For Example:
Leading Lady's BFF: How's the diet? you are looking a little chubby on the cheeks. (Or something to that effect)
Montana and Brainless: (walk away looking insulted)
Now here I would have snapped something like "I don't think we have anything to worry about, not until we are as big as you are!"
Anyway, Erin really did her best with what she had, and her acting may seem overdone but it goes really well with the rest of the exagerated film.
And that's my two-cents. 3/10
I also want to say a very special thanks to Karen Shih (From ECO) who allowed me to get my copy of "The Biggest Fan". I really hope I got your name right! LOL
Here are some screen-caps from the movie, these are my own, and some of them are funny faces (there were a LOT of funny faces in this movie). The zip below contains 28 diferent grabs from all of Erin's scenes in this movie (yay! MORE funny faces).
At the concert, being mean to the lead. This is the only triumphant scene Montana gets, she laughs and then threatens "We'll see you on Monday. EVERYONE will see you on Monday!".
Montana doesn't let her boyfriend kiss her because of her make-up. *rolls-eyes* They make a lot of jokes about dieting in this scene, except is not funny, until Montana grabs her bottle of water and says "I'm NOT hungry".
Making fun of the lead and her BFF because they are not going to the concert. This is the chubby cheeks scene. They walk away and let the Lead's BFF win this one too!
Making fun of the lead, because she missed the concert. They also walk away insulted on this one. *rolls-eyes again* And this is the really ugly outfit I mentioned earlier.
Wondering whatever happened to the missing Boy-band member. (this is the "I can't think of anything worse than messing-up his hair" scene I mention in the reels post)
During the Prom dance scene, before they are pushed back by an unknown boy-band member. I could think of soooo many things to snap back at that loser! LOL (The lighting in this scene is just disastrous, and the lead is wearing the single ugliest Prom dress EVER.)
Before Montana and Brainless find out their All-Access VIP passes have been given away (To the lead and her BFF). They also walk away insulted here. I would have sued the bitch handing over the tickets, for stealing MY VIP pass. (Oh, and I swear I saw the EXACT shirt Erin is wearing in a magazine, years ago!)
And this is the full look of the worse wardrobe EVER worn by Erin. Red PVC... what the hell were they thinking?!!
And here's is the link to Download the zip of screen caps if you want it. Some of them would make really cool LJ Icons!
