Pop superstar Jordan Jaye (Matthew Espinosa) has a big dream he just wants to live like a regular teenager. When he's chased down by some excited female fans, he finds a perfect hideout and a reluctant new friend from a small town, high-school art student, Emily Lowe (Sarah Jeffery, Descendants). Despite being from different worlds, they soon discover they have way more in common than they ever imagined. Over the course of several days, the two embark on an unexpected journey of friendship, first love and self-discovery -- proving that maybe opposites really do attract.

Be Somebody Audience Reviews

GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
linn_christin-65032 Am I the only one seeing similarities to Justin and Selena??? Also no real action here and a really, really, really bad ending.Actually, if you just got finished chewing your chocolate and you have to spit it out, it was that kind of feeling when the ending ended the way it did.I did like the moment we got to see the spray paint art tho.
luizapm It's easy to see that they have tried to make the script as "real" as they could but the result was really cringe-worthy and not real at all. The character of the lead girl (Emily) it's "I want to leave town because everything here sucks, the girls are sl-ts and the boys are just fu-kboys" type of teenage girl, which wouldn't be a huge problem if the script was well-written. The acting, specially of Matthew Spinosa (Jordan Jaye), is just plain bad, it just doesn't seem like real emotions.
ellafletcher1 This film is so predictable; you can guess the ending from the very first five minutes. You can even guess the dialogue. It is the most cliché film I've ever seen and I also noticed that it completely steals scenes and dialogue from other films. Matthew Espinosa's acting is some of the worst in history and I would definitely advise he keeps his day job...I'm guessing this will be his first and last film. Being a fan of awful romantic films like this, I'm used to predictability and performances that aren't award worthy, yet I wouldn't even watch this film if someone paid me and I don't want anyone else to suffer like I did.
HansenKid It might just be the mood I'm in, or the fact that I've been up so late tonight, but this movie made me feel something more than the average teen romance movie has in a long time. I chose to watch this movie tonight because it happened to be uploaded onto my preferred streaming site just today, and it looked like something I could watch without really having to focus on it. While it definitely wasn't the kind of movie that required you to watch every minute of it, I still found myself pausing it every time I had to go out of ear shot. Something about this quiet film, with its very straightforward plot and unembellished characters, is just different enough to make it impactful. It reminded me that the best films are ones you don't have any expectations about at all. You don't see them coming. The acting is a little underwhelming, but it isn't a film that really asks for too much from the actors to begin with. It manages to accomplish it's goal of entertaining, without trying to be something more. Because of that, it left me feeling perfectly content. Sometimes, that's all I want from a film.
