The Jonas Brothers — aka good Christian boys Joe, Nick and Kevin — are an impeccably-styled, multi-million-dollar global phenomenon. The siblings are pin-ups for an entire generation of excitable teenagers and the embodiment of modern family values, wearing purity rings to affirm their belief in no sex before marriage.

Fans around the world put Joe, Nick and Kevin on pedestals. Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience does it literally, hoisting the singers 20ft above the heads of their squealing fans on tiny, circular platforms as the boys belt out Hello Beautiful.

Directed by Bruce Hendricks, this energetic concert film, recorded live at Madison Square Gardens in New York last year, polishes the Jonas brand to an even squeakier clean.

A tongue-in-cheek pre-credits sequence begins with bodyguard ‘Big Rob’ Feggans waking the brothers in their interconnected Trump Tower hotel rooms shortly before the entourage heads for the gig. With rush-hour traffic at gridlock, the brothers squeeze through the sunroof and sprint through the city streets with screaming fans in hot pursuit.

Toe-curling tomfoolery dispensed with, the rest of the film intercuts on-stage performances with backstage shenanigans, including a gratuitous shot of the boys in their changing area.Joe hurriedly removes his sweaty shirt, then suddenly remembers the camera leering at his every move. Girls in the audience will not be complaining, of course.

Interviews with fanatical concertgoers, who can barely contain their joy (“Seriously, I’m going to throw up!”), are intercut with footage of the brothers playing sport, rehearsing and practising their back-flips and tumbles. A segment with the fake Jonas Brothers is an amusing diversion. “They’re living the dream, we’re dreaming the life,” quips one of the imitators.

A montage of one day’s promotional activities (an appearance on Good Morning America, a radio show interview, record launch and in-store listening party) hammers home how hard the trio works to maintain visibility in a crowded marketplace.

A couple of special appearances break up the feast of Jonas: Demi Lovato sings This Is Me with Joe, their duet from TV film Camp Rock; and Taylor Swift outperforms them all with the catchy Should’ve Said No.

The 3D technology is used sparingly: sunglasses, a drumstick, plectrums and onstage pyrotechnics all appear to fly out of the screen, and during an audience singalong Joe thrusts the microphone at the camera for us to join in.

When they are not waving an undulating sea of glowsticks, youngsters in the concert hall swoon with delight at the lads’ onstage antics, even when they unleash hoses of white foam.

No doubt there will be hordes of girls foaming at the mouth at the prospect of Joe, Nick and Kevin singing mostly in tune in Hendricks’s film. Parents should be thankful their suffering clocks in at only 76 minutes.

Renny Harlin’s 12 Rounds, an overblown adrenaline rush from the director of Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger, would be considered laughable yet pleasing if it didn’t take itself so seriously. Certainly, it doesn’t help that the film’s hulking lead star is better known for his acrobatics in the WWE wrestling ring and delivers lines in monotone as if he is reading them off prompt cards.

However, Harlin and screenwriter Daniel Kunka carry on regardless, pitting a cop against a mad man in a series of preposterous challenges, which include halting a runaway tram.

New Orleans police officer Danny Fisher (John Cena) and partner Hank Carver (Brian White) become involved in the FBI stakeout of psychopath Miles Jackson (Aiden Gillen). After a frenetic chase on foot, Danny apprehends Miles and is inadvertently responsible for the death of the suspect’s girlfriend and accomplice.

One year later to the day, Miles breaks out of jail to wreak revenge on the man he holds responsible for taking away the one thing he held dear. “You took from me what can never, ever be replaced. Now I’m going to take from you,” chuckles Miles just before he kidnaps Danny’s girlfriend Molly (Ashley Scott). To save his sweetheart, the muscular cop must undertake a series of games against the clock.With partner Hank providing back-up, Danny is compelled to break the law to keep Molly alive, while Miles’s FBI pursuers try to muscle in.
