Movie Reviews of Jewel - A Life Uncommon
Movie Review: Think twice before buying it
Summary: 2 Stars
Being a fan of Jewel and watching a few of her performances, I was pretty excited when I found out she had a DVD available. That is , until I viewed it! It is a phenomenal story- a girl who sings in a coffee house where she is a waitress becomes a rockstar- but man oh man, this DVD ended up like a trip to the dentist. Thank goodness Jewel has talent because the producers of this DVD do not. Why in the world do I want to hear in depth interviews about how "great" jewel is from her 2 brothers, mother, and hear how talented she is from her "agent"...Everytime she gets into a song you want to hear, her agent/mgr/relative is talking about what a great person she is, etc....Jewel is known for her songwriting- I'd much rather see the inspirational process, and how she writes and why she wrote certain songs rather than hear jibberish from her PR crew....Save your $20- don't buy this DVD because you'll feel cheated..Jewel if you're reading this, maybe the next bet is just some videos/in concert performances with vignettes on how you wrote the songs and their meanings.Movie Review: More **CLEAR** singing please!!

I love Jewel, I love TV documentaries of stars and the such, but I really was wanting to listen to the songs! Everytime she is singing on this DVD it is either unclear or someone is talking over it! How frustrating. I understand that its an insight into her life, but the dvd cover even has stickers on it saying which songs are included and really sells itself as a visual copy of the cd's, which it *IS NOT*. This DVD should have been labeled more clearly as a documentary, then if I purchased it I would have been pleased instead of ripped off.Movie Review: Disappointed.

Hello Jewel fans. Fact: I am a huge fan of Jewel's music, everything included, guitar, voice, imagery. I listen to Jewel to take the edge off a stressful day.Opinion: I think the makers of the DVD achieved what they set out to do, present Jewel's semi-private life to the fans.
More Opinion: I was looking for pristine performances of her best songs, and I think this DVD came up way short. Don't buy this DVD if you are looking for a video version of the CD. I was, and it was a bad purchase for me. Fair Warning.
Movie Review: Not good at all!!

I like Jewels music and was hoping this would be one of her concerts with some info on how she wrote the songs. But.... Not even close. If you are a fan and want to know about her and her lifes story then buy it. If just like her music and want to hear her sing a lot then don't.
