Grab a backstage pass to the Jonas Brothers' motion picture debut. Kevin, Joe and Nick are "Burning Up" the stage and inviting you inside their personal world for the adventure of a lifetime. This colossal movie event launches the world's hottest band straight into your living room and includes guest appearances by chart-topping artists Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience with the multitalented trio, Jonas Brothers take on an intimate look at what their lives are like offstage and behind the scenes. It's the music-filled movie event perfect for the whole family that came out in theaters on February 2009.The excitement of seeing the Jonas Brothers live in concert is hard to beat, but this concert presentation is the next best thing to being there.

Basically a collection of highlights from the Burnin' Up concert tour, the film features live concert footage of hit songs including That's Just the Way We Roll, Gotta Find You, Video Girl, S.O.S, and Burnin' Up with pyrotechnics, water effects, and the occasional questionable harmony and out-of-breath lyric. Demi Lovato joins the Jonas Brothers for This Is Me, Taylor Swift presents Should've Said No, and Big Rob even makes a brief singing appearance.

Also included is the never-before-released song Love Is On Its Way. Viewers get the best seats in the house thanks to a nice mix of up-close, on-stage, and above-stage camera angles combined with wider crowd shots. Augmenting the experience is just the right amount of backstage footage of the Jonas Brothers doing everything from waking up in the morning to braving the screaming crowds of fans at midnight on album release day and even changing clothes between concert sets.

With a large legion of fans, the group have accomplished many things since the release of their first album in 2006 ‘Its About Time’. The group debuted on Columbia Records INO Records (a Christian Label) in 2006 and eventually received airplay on Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up" and various Disney soundtrack and compilations. Despite the group starting to gain momentum, the group was dropped by Columbia Records and had no label until signing with Hollywood Records in 2007. And received more attention when they appeared on an episode of "Hannah Montana" and the group were playing at major televised events. But it was until the group released their third album "A Little Bit Longer" in 2008 which gained mainstream attention (and #40 on Rolling Stone Magazine's top 50 albums in the US) and the group had their own Disney film "Camp Rock" which featured the trio with another upcoming Disney Channel starlet Demi Lovato. The group also received the spotlight on the front cover of Rolling Stone Magazine.

Needless to say, the Jonas Brothers have become popular and Disney began filming their concert tour in the Summer of 2008, preparing the film for a 3D release and starring both popular actress/pop star Demi Lovato and popular country singer Taylor Swift. Those not familiar with the Jonas Brothers or care for their music are probably not going to have much of an interest in the film. But for those who do enjoy the group's music, this is it. Even Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift fans can enjoy their appearance in the film.
