Fans who hoped to snag tickets to the Jonas Brothers summer tour the previous year found that most seats disappeared in minutes, leaving many feeling ticketless and disappointed. The scramble for seats was real for families and young fans who planned nights out around those shows, only to watch them vanish in a blink.
That anticipation remains with the JONAS BROTHERS: THE 3D CONCERT EXPERIENCE, which brings the Burnin Up era to the big screen through Disney Digital 3D. Audiences can sit back, sing along, and let Joe, Nick, and Kevin light up the screen with a lineup that fans know well and love to hear again and again.
Viewers can watch, sing, and cheer as the three brothers light up the stage with songs many fans recognize and adore, including:
• That’s Just The Way We Roll
• Hold On
• BB Good
• Video Girl
• Goodnight & Goodbye
• This Is Me featuring Demi Lovato
• Hello Beautiful
• Pushin’ Me Away
• Should’ve Said No featuring Taylor Swift
• S. O. S
• Tonight
• Live To Party
• Love Is on Its Way, a new and never before heard song
• Burnin’ Up
The film includes backstage glimpses of the trio as they grab breakfast, warm up, rehearse for the tour, and head to a Times Square album launch party. Some sequences feel staged or overly choreographed, yet the behind the scenes moments still bring smiles and a sense of life on the road that fans crave.
The movie also features two special guest duets and a showcase by BIG ROB, the band’s well-known bodyguard. The duets with Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift land well and carry plenty of energy, with Taylor Swift delivering a standout moment that many fans remember vividly. BIG ROB’s appearance during Burnin Up is a memorable touch that fans often discuss long after the credits roll.
There is a playful moment where the brothers engage the audience with a lighthearted spray, a scene that pokes fun at the concert vibe and leaves many fans wearing a little less-than-pristine attire. It’s a quirky, harmless twist that adds to the overall sense of spontaneity that colorfully punctuates the show.
Overall, the film creates a concert-like experience with superb visuals and a palpable sense of energy. The screen captures the action with clarity and makes viewers feel as if they are right in the middle of the crowd, though the cinema setting does temper some of the immediacy of a live performance. Still, fans will leave with a strong impression of the Jonas Brothers in their peak phase, their songs, and the camaraderie that fans associate with the live touring era.
The Jonas Brothers are positioned to light up the box office and the hearts of fans alike as this film rolled into theatres in early 2009, offering a blockbuster-style snapshot of a touring sensation at the height of its popularity. It remains a vivid time capsule of the era, a reminder of how a 3D experience could intensify familiar songs and create a shared, communal moment in theatres across North America. Rating: 4/5
