From XFactor auditions in 2010 to sold-out world tours in 2013, worldwide boy-band phenomenon, One Direction’s Niall Horan (21), Zayn Malik (21), Liam Payne (21), Harry Styles (20), and Louis Tomlinson (22) take you through their life on the road. Although touring the world alongside your best friends and following your greatest dream may be everyone’s ideal life, you are brought on their Take Me Home arena tour with 42 minutes of concert footage, as they reveal the not so glamorous sides of fame-from constantly being away from your family to being told which clothes to wear. Being pulled from home at the age of 16 and thrown out into the spotlight, these 5 guys had their private life ripped up from under their feet and thrown away forever. The emotional showing of bottom to the top, these band shows off their adventure of coming from the average, working class family, to being some of the richest people in England, and globally some of the most famous people. Take away the 20 million Twitter followers, take them off the stage, and deduct the constant public mobbings. Put them in the kitchen with their families and block out the fans knocking on their front door asking for pictures. They’re now normal guys, sleeping into the late hours of the day and helping their mothers make dinner. Attempting to live a normal life, they visit their grandparents, the places they used to work, and show off their favorite things around their hometown. Besides the emotion factor, this movie will make you laugh. No one can truly expect a bunch of young boys to listen to what they are being told to do. To find that they’re were late to their show because they were driving around in golf cars and crawling under gates to escape security, makes it much more acceptable. Not many people walk into rooms only to be scared by a cardboard cutout of themselves and even less of them get pantsed in front of 65,000 people. Besides failing to show any of their opening act (a key part to their tour), the band spend a night in what seems like the only place they can get any privacy; the woods. The boys attempt to build tents, with directions that are only in Swedish, along with building a fire while clashing ideas on how to do so fly around. Slaps across the face, nose picking, silly lyric changes, and tripping on stage truly bring together the many ‘laugh out loud’ worthy moments. The greatest thing about the movie is seeing everything from the opposite end. The film brings you from the fan in the audience to being backstage and inside their hotel rooms. As they ride in their car to the concert venue, they’re surrounded by 40 policemen, both on motorcycles and in police cars. A helicopter is overhead of them as girls continue to push themselves to their own limits. Multiple girls roll down car windows to stick their heads out whilst one girl has even opened the sunroof and is sitting on top of the car, while it is moving on the highway. Meanwhile, hundreds of policemen are on the streets, struggling to control the mobs of fans. Directed by Morgan Spurlock and produced by Simon Cowell, this PG musical documentary was released on August 30th, 2013. On its first day of release, it made $2.7 million, its opening weekend making $18 million. It made $28,873,376 in just the US alone. As of October 4th, 2013, ‘This Is Us’ made $67,328,742 globally. ‘This Is Us’ did far better than ‘Katy Perry: Part Of Me’, ‘Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience’, and ‘Glee: The 3D Movie Experience.’ Besides winning the PFCS: Best Live Action Family Film, it sold 270,000 copies within 3 days of release. Out selling Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ by 10,000 copies, beating the record. At the #1 peak position for Ireland and the UK, ‘This Is Us’ brings you to tears, makes you laugh, and gives you a great sense of the band, their influences, where they came from, and how they got there.

I see your concluding paragraph is one sentence. Let me know if you would like to fix and repost...
