Music videos

These are the three videos made for the song 'Mandy' by the Jonas Brothers, directed by Ondi Timoner.

Episode 1: (Filmed at Pasadena High School in Pasadena, California). The school bell rings and everyone leaves. Nick notices Mandy has dropped her phone. He picks it up and rushes through the hallway. In the parking lot he sees Mandy with her boyfriend (played by Roderick Galloway) and his friends. Nick runs up and gives Mandy her phone. Mandy's boyfriend follows Nick after school, chasing him down the street in his car.

Episode 2: Nick runs onto the sidewalk and Mandy's boyfriend gets out of his car to look for him. He eventually gives up, only to see Nick in a car with his brothers, Joe and Kevin, who drive by, laughing. Later that night, Mandy and her boyfriend are at the prom and are announced as prom King and Queen. The Brothers are also there. Mandy tries to leave, but her boyfriend grabs her and kisses her ferociously. She pulls away and runs outside, then faced with the Brothers, who offer her a ride home. Mandy's boyfriend watches them drive off. She walks in her house and she and her dad start fighting. Mandy runs out and her boyfriend and his friends pull up beside The Brothers; Mandy is unsure what to do.

Episode 3: The next day Mandy is out with her boyfriend, who is crushing a mailbox with a baseball bat. Later, at school, Mandy returns a necklace to her boyfriend, and appears to be breaking up with him. She finds Joe and Nick sitting by a tree, and the three engage in light conversation. Her ex-boyfriend sees this and threateningly approaches. Mandy runs off to find Kevin. Mandy and Kevin get in his car and ride to where Nick and Joe are. Nick and Joe get in the car and speed off. The Brothers pick up two more girls and they all wave to Mandy's ex-boyfriend. They all go to a building where the Brothers play the song. The episode ends with a sly, "The End?".
