In a just world, this dead-on parody would be the final, funny word on the boy-band phenomenon. If you love the music of the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync, you'll enjoy 2Ge+her. And if you hate color-by-numbers hits from cookie-cutter musical acts, you'll have even more reason to love this film. Sure it's formulaic--that's the whole point. Take the "mockumentary" format pioneered by Spinal Tap, subtract the decline of heavy metal, add that contemporary Real World/Road Rules sensibility (only seven days to form a hit boy band!), and multiply that by a handful of wickedly funny yet seriously catchy songs, and you've got this movie. It's hard to know if any of the strategically chosen five members--the Rebel, the Heartthrob, the Little One, the Shy Guy, and the chunky, balding Older Brother--ever expected their fiendishly fleshed-out portrayals of some seriously cardboard stereotypes to launch a genuine pop phenomenon. But after the final credits roll, extra footage shows the band's eerily triumphant live appearance on MTV's ultimate boy-band showcase, Total Request Live, and interviews detail the actors' pleased surprise at becoming yet another one of those bands "prepubescent girls throw their retainers at," in spite of such obviously sarcastic songs as "Say It, Don't Spray It." No matter how you feel about today's prefab pop, by the time you've watched this video to its end, you will find yourself humming 2Ge+her's hit single, "U+Me=Us (Calculus)." The level of irony behind it is up to you. --Grant Balfour
