Big Time Movie (2012 TV Movie)

At the very least, much better than "Johnny English"

[6/10 · 28 September 2013]

I've been watching a couple of Nickelodeon TV shows this past summer, and I find "Big Time Rush" the craziest and funniest of them; it's like "Naked Gun" minus the R-rated gags. This feature-length expansion of their show should please its fans (it's certainly faithful to its anything-goes spirit), but it never quite matches the exhilaration of its terrific opening sequence (an action fantasy mini-movie, accompanied by the Beatles classic "Help!"). I also kind of missed the quirky, witty presence of Erin Sanders as Camille, though the stunning Emma Lahana makes a worthy temporary replacement. My favorite joke: the Japanese "torture". **1/2 out of 4.
