JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS DVD REVIEW SERIES
As a 30 something year old woman, I own the entire animated series on DVD and actually watched it after I bought it. So when I spotted this at a used bookstore on clearance I wanted it but I was TERRIFIED because "WHAT IF THE COMICS WERE AS BA This came so close to getting a 5 star rating from me. I swear, the Misfits were why I was such a goth girl on middle/high school. I was obsessed as a kid, owning Jem "Barbies" and such. It helps that the music, which is pretty decent by pop music standards, feels like it could have come from an up-and-coming artist on YouTube.This came so close to getting a 5 star rating from me. Even when Jerrica comes to the somewhat cheesy conclusion that Jem is everyone, it's a revelation that will have more meaning and impact for the YouTube audience than it will Jem and the Holograms' original set of fans. It's in the movie's optimistic analysis of how YouTube personalities can positively influence their fans, and offers a look into why these figures can be so important to teens, that Jem and the Holograms transcends the Disney Channel-esque makeover of the cartoon's plot.
His directing style mirrors that documentary as it cuts to personal videos shot by the sisters, Instagram reactions of fans to Jem and the small town-to-Hollywood parallels between Jem and Bieber.
Chu's documentary Justin Bieber: Never Say Never than it does the Jem and the Holograms cartoon. In many ways this film feels more inspired by director Jon M. One of Jem and the Holograms' strengths is the way it peers into the effect musicians - particularly musicians who have risen to fame on YouTube - have on the people who idolize them. But regardless of how much time has elapsed, it's been long enough for Jem to make an impact on her fans. That's a fault of the movie's, particularly when one emotional scene is followed up with a happy resolution only minutes later, and it feels as though no time has passed within the story to warrant such a change of heart. It's unclear how much time exactly passes between when Jem's song goes viral and when the final of the three shows is performed. And of course there is the budding romance between Jerrica and Rio, the college-aged son of Erica. As she notes in her vlog-style narration, things get "weird" along the way when Jerrica's deceased father's gift to her, a robot named Synergy, comes to life and sends them on a scavenger hunt to reveal a final message.

With that timetable in place, the movie promises that things will get bad before they get better for Jerrica and her family. Once they perform three secret shows in Los Angeles, Jerrica will be delivered a check that can help save her Aunt Bailey's (Molly Ringwald) home from foreclosure. For Jerrica, her family is non-negotiable, and she only agrees to join forces with Starlight and travel from her small town to Los Angeles if her sisters - Kimber, Aja (Hayley Kiyoko) and Shana (Aurora Perrineau) - go with her as her band. This quickly draws the attention of Starlight Music head Erica Raymond (Juliette Lewis), who wants "Jem" as a mysterious solo act.

This telling of Jem's story swaps out the TV show's magical technology for more recognizable ones: Jerrica rises to fame after her younger sister Kimber (Stefanie Scott) uploads a video of her singing as "Jem" to YouTube, and it goes viral overnight.
