THIS concert movie featuring US teen pin-up band the Jonas Brothers is like being hit over the head with a rolled-up newspaper for nearly an hour and a half.

As the film is being show in 3D (in selected cinemas), you’re also poked in the eye while having your ears blasted.

It is loud. It is full of flashing lights.

It is unrelenting. It hardly counts as a movie. It is not meant for me. It is strictly for fans of Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas – of which, I am led to believe, there are many (mainly female, I assume) followers.

To be honest, the first time I heard of them followed publicity surrounding Russell Brand’s offcolour comments at the Video Music Rings about them wearing purity rings.

Their fans should be well pleased by the amount of exposure given the brothers by the film, shot during their 2008 Burnin’ Up tour which drew one million fans.

A lot of thought has gone into the staging of the show to make it a spectacular affair. I loved the bit where the three are raised high in the air on pillars.

And when Nick does back flips. Or Kevin runs down the ramp into the audience while Joe does his impersonation of a strutting Mick Jagger.

The music is forgettable and, after a while, all the swooping camerashots and smoke gets a bit wearing. So does the noise – sorry, music.

there are some amusing (to fans, if not me) scenes. In the opening sequence we see their minder Big Rob – and, believe me, he’s very big – waking them up at 5.30am.

In another, they flee fans by jumping from car roof to car roof in a traffic jam. Joe even takes off his shirt in a spot of teasing expected of teen idols no matter how wholesome.

A couple of teenage female singers, Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift, are allowed a song each. But mostly this is the Jonas brothers, pure and simple.
