Film Threat reviewed BoyBand, writing that "The problem entirely lies in a story, so wacky you can't relate to it and jokes that have no payoff. Boy Band is a wasted opportunity."

He secretly plays in a heavy metal band, and dreams of being a pop star. Brad's parents are separated, but still live together, with his mom's new boyfriend Lou Pearlman.
