J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 03/06/2007
With character names like Luke Falcon and Wick Treadway, this showbiz romance dangles the promise of a Showgirls-style debacle, but it isn’t bad enough to be good. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press 03/06/2007
Undiscovered feels more like a pilot for a glossy nighttime soap on Fox -- probably one that would be canceled midseason -- than a feature film with even a modicum of discernible originality or depth. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club 09/26/2005
Undiscovered would like to think of itself as a gritty, documentary-style indie about hopefuls on the fringes of the industry, but it's more like one of those lame hair-metal bands that went out and bought flannel shirts after Nirvana hit it big. Go to Full Review Clare Pfeiffer Ramsey Metro Times (Detroit, MI) 06/14/2013
Undiscovered has about as much emotional depth and romantic sensibility as an episode of a Simpson sister MTV reality show. Go to Full Review Christopher Borrelli Toledo Blade 06/14/2013

There is not a single moment in the undistinguished Undiscovered that will do for [Pell] James what those couple of compassionate, moving minutes do in Jim Jarmusch's [Broken Flowers]. Go to Full Review Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com 04/04/2011

How bad is it? Ashlee Simpson has a supporting role in it and her singing isn't the worst thing about it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Elite N 09/23/2022 A good romantic film that deserves a Blue-Ray Collector's Edition Director's Cut Release! See more 06/10/2013 has potential, but is not good enough. See more 11/15/2012 wasnt wat i expected.. im a fan of ashlee so i thought i would see more of her in this movie.. it wasnt gud.. See more Steve S 09/21/2012 ★★ (out of four) I'm sure "Undiscovered" had aspirations of launching Ashlee Simpsons acting career and sparking some radio friendly songs from its soundtrack. But there just isn't enough substance to this age old tale about hitting it big in show business. It has some talent in the cast, but they aren't given much worthwhile to do. Luke, played by Steven Strait, is a struggling rock musician living in New York. He heads to Los Angeles, hoping the change of scenery will help him get noticed. On his way he meets Briar, (Pell James) but he doesn't pursue it. They end up rconnecting in California since she is a struggling actress. She and her best friend (Ashlee Simpson) help Luke mold his rocker style. Strait and James are appealing young actors, but their characters are bland. Simpson adds nothing to the role, and her acting is quite poor. The songs are surprisingly fair. Not great, but not as bad as expected. Strait does have some talent as a musician.

Mostly because "Luke" was such a hotty. See more Read all reviews
