Movies - Popstar


Popstar is an American film that features teen singer Aaron Carter
in his first lead role in a feature film. The direct-to-video film was directed by Richard Gabai and written by Timothy Barton; the film was released November 8, 2005.

Summary

Real-life popstar Aaron Carter
plays J.D. McQueen, a teen music sensation whose parents have sent him back to public high school to improve his declining grades. J.D. risks missing a critical summer tour that could cost him his position with his band. Determined to get his marks up, he builds a relationship with Jane Brighton, a homely academic whiz who also happens to be an avid fan.

Popstar borrows heavily from Carter's real life. Both Carter and J.D. were born December 7, and both had been taken out of public schools because of their careers. J.D. and Carter both have divorced parents. Both get nervous before concerts. J.D. sings "Saturday Night," a song that Carter was in fact promoting in his summer 2005 tour before the film was released. J.D. is athletic, and shows off his gymnastic skills for Jane in the same way Carter does in his concerts. Fans will recognize many of Carter's publicity/magazine photos that decorate Brighton's bedroom.
