Editorial Review:
Set in the world of up-and-coming artists, UNDISCOVERED is a heartfelt and comic film that tells the story of an aspiring model who falls in love with a struggling musician when they suddenly cross paths on a NY subway train. Having achieved success as a NY model, Brier (James) decides to move to L.A. to launch an acting career. With the support of her acerbic agent and sometimes surrogate mom, Carrie (Fisher), Brier lands a spot in a highly sought after acting class where she befriends another would-be actress, Clea (Simpson). While out on the town discovering the music scene, Brier again crosses paths with Luke (Strait), a singer/songwriter who has been toiling for years without a record deal. Brier and Clea decide to help Luke and unbeknownst to him, they set out to create some L.A. style hype to get him noticed. As Luke’s profile rises, so do the demands of his budding new career. When Luke and Brier can’t hide the spark that was always there, they both discover that the price of fame may be higher than anyone expected.
Description of Undiscovered:
Forging love out of the cutthroat entertainment industry is the theme of this MTV-style feature film starring Ashlee Simpson in a supporting role. Pell James plays aspiring actress Brier Tucket who falls for fledgling songwriter Luke Falcon (Steven Strait) in a fleeting moment of New York subway chaos. Fate reunites them in Los Angeles where their friendship deepens as they struggle to establish careers in an industry known for fraud, favors, and elusive fame. Simpson steps up to the microphone for a couple of breathy ballads, yet her acting is wholly forgettable as the one-dimensional Clea. More noteworthy are the standout performances by Kip Pardue, as Luke's wacky brother Euan; and Carrie Fisher, who adds panache as Brier's acerbic agent. Originally titled "Wannabe," the movie was renamed Undiscovered to spotlight Simpson’s song of the same name--and the film's soundtrack is decent--yet no amount of music will prop up the story's overall flimsiness despite the intentions of veteran music video director Meiert Avis. Rated PG-13 for sexual and drug content and partial nudity. --Lynn Gibson
Undiscovered Reviews:
Ashlee, Trashlee 
2009-10-26 - I used to be a huge fan of Ashlee Simpson. But I have no idea what went wrong. For heaven sakes, I even seen her in concert. But it all disappeared. She just has one of those personalities that's so obnoxious, like when she was asked if she was pregnant she said "you`ll have to see." Shut the heck up woman and answer the question, I mean seriously. Her music is OK, but I start this movie ever so often and I just fall asleep when its not even the middle and I try so hard to stay awake. I bought it on DVD for $3.00 hoping to one day finish it but I just cant. My fan base for Ashlee just disappeared and she got to trashy(her style, music, personality, every dang thing about her is different than it was before she started off. I own her first album "Autobiography" I like it but from there, it went downhill) but whatever......
OY, the pain! 
2008-11-21 - This movie was truly awful and a waste of time. It has a very typical and predictable plot. It's a "boy meets girl, boy meets girl again, boy loses girl, boy finds girl again." A moron could write this storyline. Let me just say one thing: Stephen Moyer and Carrie Fisher must have owed an agent money to be put in this awful piece. It's a waste of their talent and an embarrassment to their careers. I was cringing for the both of them.
Do not waste your money. Get something with substance instead of this, something with a better storyline that is not strewn with stupid dialog and predictable predicament.
"Undiscovered" is a super romance which touches the heart . 
2007-05-10 - You will watch this movie over and over again. 'just the right choice of actors for each part, and I'll search for these actors in other movies, both now, and in the future. An appealing and convincing movie. I was so convinced of the truth of this story, that I inquired about a "Mr. Treadway" and the businesses depicted, from an LA friend in the audio field.
This dvd has been touted to friends who have young family members, as high standards were followed in the making of the film.
'would like to see an "Undiscovered II" with all six of the leading actors back.
ROCK STAR 2....?
2007-03-11 - Absolutely boring, and with an enerving camera style, this is one of the worst movies i've ever seen. The plot and characters are absolutely stupid and predictable, and even worst, they don't evolved a little bit in all the entire movie.
The best part is the skateboard dog and the goods looks of Steven Strait, but if you really wanna enjoy him, i better recommend you THE COVENANT. Is the typical horror flick, but at least, is not so presumptuos that this one.

2007-01-20 - The movie is kind of cheesy. It wasn't really great, but Steven Strait is an excellent actor, not to mention a total hottie so it was definitely worth it.
