With character names like Luke Falcon and Wick Treadway, this showbiz romance dangles the promise of a Showgirls-style debacle, but it isn’t bad enough to be good.

Undiscovered feels more like a pilot for a glossy nighttime soap on Fox -- probably one that would be canceled midseason -- than a feature film with even a modicum of discernible originality or depth.

Undiscovered would like to think of itself as a gritty, documentary-style indie about hopefuls on the fringes of the industry, but it's more like one of those lame hair-metal bands that went out and bought flannel shirts after Nirvana hit it big.

Undiscovered has about as much emotional depth and romantic sensibility as an episode of a Simpson sister MTV reality show.
