Undiscovered is a better-than-average tale of love found, love lost, love found again. There are several clever twists in this story of a successful model who tries to help boost the career of an undiscovered, but talented musician.
For all its earmarks as a typical romantic comedy, Undiscovered was uniquely entertaining and well cast. Steven Strait looked and sounded like a true rock star. Carrie Fisher was believable as the powerful agent to model, Brier. When I saw Ashlee Simpson’s name in the credits, I expected her to show up in a cameo singing role, with one or two lines of dialog. Actually, the demur sister of more famous Jessica did a credible job in her rather substantial part as the confidant and sidekick to the central couple in the story.
Unfortunately, as a family-friendly movie, Undiscovered barely failed the test due to unsavory language and sexual references, mostly uttered by greedy agent, Garrett Schweck, played by Fisher Stevens. That, coupled with too much skin to be tasteful, pushed the movie over Dove’s 12+ age limit. (See the chart and content section for specific details.)
