When pop star and teen heartthrob JD McQueen (Aaron Carter) lets fame go to his head, his mother sends him back to school and gives him an ultimatum - pass math or no summer tour! But what he doesn't anticipate is falling for his biggest fan!

Theatrical Trailer

Like the platinum-selling sensation that plays him, J.D. McQueen (Aaron Carter) is a pop star. The livin' is easy until his grades slip, so his mom (Tracy Scoggins) puts an end to the home schooling and sends him off to the local high school. Fellow student Jane Brighton (Alana Austin, who co-starred with Carter in Supercross) is his biggest fan. Unlike J.D., however, she doesn't have any luck with the opposite sex. Despite her blonde good looks, she's a straight-A student and everyone resents her for it. So imagine Jane’s surprise when J.D. takes an instant like to her. She's confused, but ecstatic. Then she starts to suspect he's more interested in her as a tutor--and friend--than a girlfriend. Popstar is a sweet-spirited, family-oriented look at the difficulties between balancing young fame and the desire to be a "normal guy." If Carter isn't quite in Austin's league as an actor, his charisma and singing talent helps to balance things out. Featuring the songs "Saturday Night," "Do You Remember," and "One Better." With former teen heartthrobs David Cassidy--channeling The Partridge Family's Reuben Kincaid--as J.D.'s manager and Leif Garrett as a proverb-spouting janitor. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The Brain freak and the Pop Star

Reviewed by R. Bagula, 2009-02-12

This high school comedy has the janitor guru, the stuck up social
queen and the guy who steals the Pop Stars locker and gym shorts to sell them.
A real high school story of the cinder fairy type where the head geek
gets the Pop Star by virtue alone.

Clean, Cute, Adorable with great soundtrack

Reviewed by Paige Turner, 2008-03-04

This is a clean, sweet film with a great soundtrack. Even the background music is sweet and soothing to listen to. It's a great family film, and although some of the dialog is corny, it's still enjoyable and a refreshing change from the overtly sexed-up or violent films that studios insist on making. Aaron Carter is cute as the pop star J.D. but I got a kick out of seeing former child pop stars David Cassidy and Leif Garrett in supporting roles. Clever casting all around.

Clean Cute Movie

Reviewed by F. R. Nickles Jr., 2007-05-28

I enjoyed this movie. It was a little contrived and unrealistic, but it was fun and enjoyable. I checked it out at the library and plan to buy it.

It's a movie you will want to watch every once in a while. Some classic scenes. I'll let you watch it to find out which ones those are.

The screenwriter could have done a better job making this well not as stupid. It was still enjoyable regardless.
