Topher Grace plays a failed Broadway star turned production manager and we, the audience, are invited behind the red velvet curtain as he wrangles an eccentric and needy cast onto the stage for opening night of a new Broadway musical.
The musical is about one-hit-wonders of the 1980s starring NSYNC’s “other guy”, JC Chasez, and it’s an absolute pile of crap. But garbage or no, Nick (Grace) has to put out fires backstage (sometimes literally) because THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Even though the kind thing would be to put it out of its misery.
I always admire people who can laugh at themselves and JC Chasez certainly fulfills that 
role in this production, openly mocking his boyband status. But the script leans way too hard on these jokes, making it painfully obvious there’s just little else to this so-called film. It’s raunchy but without edge. The material wears exceedingly thin after the first several minutes and then you’re stuck behind the scenes of a musical you wouldn’t see for free. Supporting actors Anne Heche and Taye Diggs fail to bring anything interesting to the table, and Rob Riggle is downright irritating. Riggle does ONE thing, and that thing is annoying as fuck. It’s beyond time for him to just go away already.
Anyway, this is a too-short review just to say: skip it.
ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES 
Tubularsock can never figure out with so many movies produced each year and many fall in this category why someone within the movie making investment circles don’t just close them down and save that money for a project that can pull it off. When they sit down and watch it they haven’t the ability to see that it’s shit?

I always forget about JC. Perfect example of how important charisma is in the music industry. If you don’t have it it doesn’t matter how good your voice is.

Oh dear. I got worried for this when I read “Topher Grace plays…”. I reckon it’s maybe time for Netflix to reunite That ’70s Show.
