Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says OK for kids 7+
Young Jonas fans will adore the Brothers' concert flick.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this 3D concert is G-rated. There's nothing inappropriate to keep away the hordes of adoring primary-school fans, who along with their tween and teen counterparts, will want to see their beloved Kevin, Joe, and Nick burn up on screen. Like Disney's other chosen acts, the Jonases are incredibly clean-cut. They obviously don't drink, swear, or do much more than occasionally, in the case of Joe, flirt with a pretty fan or two. When they're not on stage, they're shown attending promotional events around New York.

The good stuff

family-friendly trio.
What to watch for
-
Violence and scariness: No violence except for the hordes of girls who follow the
brothers everywhere.
-
Sexy stuff: Screaming, crying girls swoon over the three Jonas Brothers,
and in one quick scene, the audience catches a glimpse of a shirtless Joe and
Kevin starting to change backstage.
-
Language: "Oh my God" is as strong as it gets.
-
Consumerism: The Jonas Brothers themselves are the "product" on
display throughout the film -- and it serves as a powerful promotional
tool for the unbelievably popular act.
-
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue
