From the producer and writer of Spice World and the director of She's All That comes this musical comedy inspired by and featuring the stars of Fox's hit reality show American Idol. Starring the winner and runner-up of the show's first season, Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini, as slightly fictionalized versions of themselves, From Justin to Kelly attempts to recreate the atmosphere of the fun-loving beach musicals of the 1960s. When Kelly (Clarkson) and Justin (Guarini) embark on a vacation in search of some fun in the sun with their respective groups of friends, the two meet and fall for each other at first sight. Unfortunately, a series of comedic mishaps and hijinks gets in the way of them getting together. Several song-and-dance numbers ensue. In addition to Clarkson and Guarini, the film stars Greg Siff, Brian Dietzen, and Katherine Bailess. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Robert Iscove's American Idol movie From Justin to Kelly comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a pair of deleted musical numbers that can be viewed in their intended position within the movie, other deleted scenes, a gag reel, a "video scrapbook" on the making of the film, and a commentary track recorded by Iscove and lead performers Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini. They obviously had a great time making the movie, although curiously the actors recorded the commentary during the very first time they were viewing the finished film. Considering the film's disastrous box-office performance, this disc contains more than any fan of the film could have hoped for. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
