The Naked Brothers Band is a kid rock band that performs surprisingly catchy original songs written by 9-year-old Nat Wolff and performed by Nat, his 6-year-old brother Alex, and young friends Cole Hawkins, Allie DiMeco, Joshua Kaye, Thomas Batuello, and David Levi. Contrary to its name, the band performs fully clothed. The Naked Brothers Band--The Movie is a mockumentary comedy that blends the story of Nat and Alex's sudden and sometimes difficult road to stardom with a satirical take on the popular rockumentary genre with its requisite focus on the stormy, sordid details of the lives of famous musicians. Produced by Nat and Alex's mother Polly Draper (thirtysomething) and jazz musician father Michael Wolff (The Arsenio Hall Show"), the movie follows Nat, Alex, and the other band members through home footage of the band's early preschool days (when they did indeed perform mostly naked and simply banged away on whatever was handy to make "music") to more professional footage of current day concerts which highlight a remarkably poised group of young musicians performing increasingly popular songs like "Crazy Car" and "Got No Mojo." Interview footage makes up the bulk of the program and is immensely satirical, featuring exaggerated scenes that detail Nat's uneasy habit of speaking to Rosalina (Allie DiMeco) with a fake accent to cover his attraction to her, Alex's development of a lemon-lime soda addiction that lands him in a rehabilitation Soda-holics at Sea program, and Alex's tendency toward inappropriate "potty-mouth" remarks. Obviously, guest stars like Arsenio Hall, Cyndi Lauper, and Uma Thurman found the parallels to the extreme behavior of famous adult personalities humorous, but what speaks to some as a funny spoof on the Hollywood rockumentary genre is so over-done that other viewers will find it distasteful, offensive, and/or inappropriate for children.

I hate it but my daughter loves it December 28, 2007

I gave it five stars because my daughter, who is a Naked Bros Band fan, loves it. I, on the otherhand, think it's incredibly silly - but it's not me that it's designed for so it really doesn't matter what I think, anyway. If you like these guys, you'll like the DVD.

I bought this movie after watching and thoroughly enjoying the series of the same name. In all honesty, I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as the show - and I turned out to be completely wrong! I loved it.
To be brief, The Naked brothers Band: The Movie is a rockumentary/mockumentary (a documentary based loosely, but not on actual real life) based loosely on the lives of nine- and six-year-old brothers Nat and Alex Wolff and their band. It follows the band through their rehearsals, concerts...and arguments! When the band, The Silver Boulders, breaks up, Nat and Alex attempt to form another band with the help of their funny, but clueless, accordion-playing father.
What makes this movie even funnier is the fact that Nat, nine, has a huge crush on band member Josh Kaye's 11-year-old step-sister Rosalina. He finds all encounters with her daunting to say the leats, and even more so when his fellow band members begin to tease him, leading to tension in the band and eventually their break-up. Alex is also hilarious - he is only six, and says many things Nat deems 'inappropriate', not to mention the fact that he behaves the way every child would like to if only they had the nerve!
However, the songs and the music are the highlight of the movie for me. They are catchy and definitely score high in my top 50 songs! Also, they are written by nine-year-old Nat himself (in true life, but just the movie)! The brothers are extremely talented. The ending was definitely the icing on the cake. It finished with a song, Crazy Car, and the whole band singing on a rooftop overlooking New York City.
I would recommend this DVD to anyone who has watched the TV series or would like a good laugh and some fun! It is perfect for children aged 3 - 13.
NOTE: Although there is a warning on the page about trying to play this DVD on DVD-Players outside of America/DVD-Players that are not built for Region 1 DVDs, I live in the UK and the DVD played fine on the second DVD-Player I tried, although it would not play on the first. Most DVD-Players will play it, although some, that are supposed to be multi-region (meaning that they should play DVDs from any country) will not.

Bought this at request of my eight year old daughter. The movie captures the TV debut of this totally engineered for TV band. It is humorous and appropriate for a pre-teen or older child, no mindless gore and violence/gratuitious sex and profanity. Very bubblegum, not that there's anything wrong with that. The kids are cute, and there are a few nice bits of visual interest with time lapsed action sequences, some music and slapstick routines. Nothing terribly surprising in this light fare.
