Dove Review

“One Direction” is a hot boy band whose members had auditioned separately for the show “X-Factor” in England. However, none of them were selected individually so Simon Cowell put them together as a boy band. While they didn’t win the competition, their enthusiastic fans set their future in motion. Their world touring concert in 2013 was completely sold out in 6 hours and their hit songs rose to number one around the world. This film shows the deep respect and camaraderie of the “lads” as they tour the world singing their uplifting and mostly wholesome songs.

In a world when child stars quickly fall apart, our hope is that these fine young gentlemen can keep things together with their grueling schedules and adoring fans – only time will see. While the film is inspiring, there is a single misuse of the name of Jesus that prevents us from recommending “One Direction: This is Us” for family viewing.
