The burglary doesnt go as planned, so they ditch the necklace and escape the scene without being caught. But after the escapade something totally unexpected happens they end up becoming the hottest kids band in the country. They even have The Wannabes merchandise and posters, etc. they release an album and even do a performance on the Australian show Rove Live. Their fame continues to build until Aurora Van Dyke discovers they were the people responsible for trying to steal her necklace. After some escapades including abduction and rescuing, The Wannabes discover crime doesnt pay, but kids groups do.Luke Buckmaster of In Film Australia said This agitating juvenile comedy slides on a downwards trajectory into the wastelands of bad comedy and poor screen writing. Writer and director Nick Giannopoulos never decides who The Wannabes is intended for is it a movie for grown ups? Is it a movie for kids? The films tonal indecision subsequently renders it inappropriate for any specific demographic. ........
