===Critical reception===
{{Rotten Tomatoes prose|score=8|average=3.1|count=63|consensus=A notorious stinker, ''From Justin To Kelly'' features banal songs, a witless plot, and non-existent chemistry between its American Idol-sanctioned leads.|ref=|access-date={{RT data|access date}}}}<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/from_justin_to_kelly/ | title=From Justin to Kelly | work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] | publisher=[[Fandango Media|Fandango]] | access-date=May 5, 2022 | archive-date=May 12, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220512220820/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/from_justin_to_kelly | url-status=live }}</ref> {{Metacritic film prose|14|16|access-date=23 May 2025}}<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/from-justin-to-kelly | title=From Justin to Kelly | work=[[Metacritic]] | publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] | access-date=October 21, 2014 | archive-date=October 5, 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141005223404/http://www.metacritic.com/movie/from-justin-to-kelly | url-status=live }}</ref> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinemascore.com/|title=CinemaScore|website=[[CinemaScore]]|access-date=September 21, 2020|archive-date=June 16, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160616113816/https://www.cinemascore.com/|url-status=live}}</ref>

''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' film critic [[Owen Gleiberman]] wrote in his review, "How bad is ''From Justin to Kelly''? Set in Miami during spring break, it's like ''[[Grease (film)|Grease]]: The Next Generation'' acted out by the food-court staff at [[SeaWorld]]."<ref name="ew">{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,452286~1~0~fromjustintokelly,00.html|title=Movie Review From Justin to Kelly (2003)|date=May 23, 2003|access-date=July 21, 2009|publisher=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|last=Gleiberman|first=Owen|archive-date=August 13, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090813122409/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,452286~1~0~fromjustintokelly,00.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine described the film as "a monstrous ''Idol'' movie musical that in the most generous light is the worst film so far this century".<ref name="time">[[Josh Tyrangiel|Tyrangiel, Josh]] (February 5, 2006).

===Reception from Clarkson===
Clarkson has since stated that before the film went into production, she pleaded with the creator of ''American Idol'' to be relieved from the contractual obligation to star in the film and that she has always disliked ''From Justin to Kelly''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.refinery29.com/2017/09/173883/kelly-clarkson-from-justin-to-kelly-american-idol|title=Kelly Clarkson Really, Really, Didn't Want to Win "American Idol"|access-date=June 30, 2018|archive-date=June 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630025028/https://www.refinery29.com/2017/09/173883/kelly-clarkson-from-justin-to-kelly-american-idol|url-status=live}}</ref> In an interview, she admitted participating in the film only because she was contractually obligated to do so: "I knew when I read the script it was going to be real, real bad, but when I won, I signed that piece of paper, and I could not get out of it."<ref name="time"/>

=== Accolades ===
The film is listed in [[Golden Raspberry Award]] founder John Wilson's book ''The Official Razzie Movie Guide'' as one of the 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made.<ref>{{cite book|last=Wilson|first=John|title=The Official Razzie Movie Guide: Enjoying the Best of Hollywood's Worst |year=2005|publisher=Grand Central Publishing|isbn=0-446-69334-0}}</ref>

The choreography was considered so bad that a special Golden Raspberry "Governor's Award" was created as an excuse to present the film with a Razzie.

''[[Total Film]]'' magazine ranked the film at number 16 in their list of "66 Worst Movies Of All Time".<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Josh |last=Winning |title=66 Worst Movies of All Time: 17.
