Do You Know How Much I Love You

Perfect for paroding boybands, but also reading to go to the next level.

A lot of people have been commenting on the idea that producers can simply pump out boy bands by getting five guys that can sing pretty well and have the right personalities. MTV was the first to actually come out and make a movie about it. 2gether is a movie about a manager that is fired from his original managing job (managing another boy band call Woah) who must put together another band within a week. He has a theory that you need five personalities in your standard boy band: the heartthrob, the shy one, the older brother, the bad boy, and the little guy. He goes around to different places trying to find theses characters and still have time to teach them the songs and dance moves.

The movie does a wonderful job showing how easy it would be to put together a band considering the fact that sometimes he just runs into people that would be perfect for the job. The movie is shot as if they wee making a documentary about the band. Sometimes the characters talk to the camera and when a new person is introduced a computer generated screen pops up giving us their profile. Despite all of the rush, the guys turn out great by the time of their big performance.
