The J Team
SCORE: 68
I am grateful Family Friendly Gaming was
given a retail version of The J Team on DVD. I heard of JoJo but that is
all. I have never been to her channel, or watched her show. I may have
had someone show me a video of hers where she got some huge house and
was bragging about how wealthy she was for making videos or something
like that. It was not all that memorable to me. I see she is a smiling,
bubbly, blonde who is very positive. It reminds me of Job before his
circumstances were reversed for a time. Would she be so positive if the
world was not being handed to her on a platter at such a young age?
There will be spoilers in this review. The The J Team movie is pretty
basic. We have a sparkling young lady in dance class. The
instructor/owner of the studio changes. Structure, rules, and
organization is added to the class. JoJo is not capable of conforming to
the standards and demands she be allowed to be her own sparkly self. She
is kicked off the team and then goes and makes her own team of others
who were told to be something other than what their snowflake minds
wanted to be. They compete against her old team and you can probably
guess where that goes. Of course her team of misfits and untrained
dancers win in the end.
I always find the 'I have to be me' argument hilarious. The people
making it seem to have no clue what kind of a Pandora's Box they are
trying to open. Lets apply that to school shooters and rapists. They
have to be who they are right? You are supportive of them being who they
are. What about people that pollute the environment for personal gain?
They are just being who they are. Why not let them be who they are? The
liberal logic fails horribly when we apply it to areas they discriminate
against and attack. I bet you can find some groups that liberals attack
who are just being who they are.
Expect plenty of dancing and music within The J Team. Normally with a
movie that revolves around the musical genre I find some song I enjoy.
The J Team had no songs that spoke to me. Normally I will find some
bubble gum generic pop song of interest. Not this time, and not with
this movie. The J Team tries to be funny but just falls flat for me over
and over again. I do like the lesson of forgiveness that is given within
The J Team.
There are too many cringe moments within The J Team. There is some mild
lack of attire. Plenty of creepy moments within The J Team. Glitter and
bows are a big deal in The J Team. Personally I could care less one way
or the other. Lots of bright colors within The J Team. The main theme
and lesson within The J Team is to be an individual instead of being a
team. Yet the individuals come together to make a team. The little dog
in The J Team is cute and well behaved.
There are images and commentary in The J Team that could be construed as
supporting sexual deviancy. Upon further research it seems that is
definitely the case. JoJo has some down moments but does not relay them
very well in The J Team. Even when she is supposed to be acting down she
is quick to smile. It makes those parts completely unbelievable. Plus it
is obvious where this story is going and what it is teaching the
audience. Fans of JoJo will probably enjoy The J Team. The rest of us
not so much. There are a fair amount of behind the scenes bonuses on
this disc.
