All-American Rejects - Move Along (2006)
**1/2 (of four)
The "Dirty Little Secret" guys are back, and the secret this time is the video director can't get enough of lead singer Tyson Ritter. Who spends about two-thirds of the video standing in front of the camera, lip synching his ass off, while the director chops and screws the backdrops and Tyson's outfits a frame at a time. We get office job shirt-and-tie Tyson, surgical-scrubs Tyson, crucial-football-game Tyson, stood up for dinner date button-up Tyson, subdivision t-shirt Tyson, family-gathering polo Tyson, girlfriend-leaving striped-shirt Tyson, hall-of-records tweed-sweater Tyson, cop-writing-him-a-ticket white-novelty-tee Tyson and several others.
These are, I guess, the crucial and mundane moments in this guy's life, repeated ad nauseum. Or they represent his different sides or different motivations. I don't fucking know. I'm out of college, I no longer have to look for deep metaphors where they shouldn't rightfully exist. Even the director gives up after awhile, closing the video with a full minute and a half of standard band performance footage, with lots of enthusiastic rented TRL kids jumping up and down in the background. This is our only chance to learn that the All-American Rejects drummer eerily resembles Conan O'Brien.
