The Naked Brothers Band is a 2005 ebullient mockumentary about a kids' rock band. Originally independent, the movie was later adopted by Nickelodeon. The movie premiered on January 27, 2007. The movie won an audience award for family feature film at the 2005 Hamptons International Film Festival.[1]

The Movie

Nat and Alex Wolff are members of a six member band and name themselves The Naked Brothers Band in pre-school. As they got to about 6 years old and older, they thought they should have a more mature name so they changed it to The Silver Boulders named after The Beatles. The band goes through superstardom, girls, and censorship and later breaks up. In Nat's depression, as he was inspired by The Beatles he wrote a song called "If There was a Place to Hide" with the same tune as The Beatles song "Let it Be". As David, Thomas and Josh left, Nat and Alex adopted Rosalina (age 11) and Cole (age 12) in their band and they decided to change the band's name back to The Naked Brothers Band.

The Real Life Story

Nat and Alex Wolff are members of a six member band and are the real-life offspring of entertainers from two television shows that had baby-boomer appeal. Polly Draper is the mother ("Ellyn Warren" on the 1987-91 TV series Thirtysomething) and Michael Wolff is the father (band leader and musical director for The Arsenio Hall Show from 1989-1994, he is a jazz pianist) of the telegenic team: Draper is also executive producer/writer/director/creator, and Wolff is the Co-Executive Producer/Music Producer of this film.

Albie Hecht, the other executive producer of the series, said he thought the brothers would be big after he saw the audience's enthusiastic reaction to the film at the Hamptons International Film Festival.

"They're just real: real brothers, real friends; it's all the stuff kids do when they're hanging out on the playground," Mr. Hecht said. "The idea that you're watching a documentary is so much fun. Then you put them into that fantasy of being a world-famous rock band, and that's the sauce that makes it work."
