The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie is an American film written and directed by actress Polly Draper and stars her prodigious sons, Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff, who portray members of a fictional rock group. It tells of the boys' struggles with their fame and an internal dispute that causes the band to temporarily break up. The cast keep their full names on-screen, though Allie DiMeco portrays Nat's female interest Rosalina; the siblings' actress cousin (Jesse Draper) plays the group's gullible babysitter Jesse Cook; and the siblings' jazz pianist father (Michael Wolff) portrays their accordion-playing dad Mr. Wolff. Draper shot the film in the style of a mockumentary—a parody in documentary format—that depicts the daily activities of the characters. It was emboldened by Nat's genuine band, The Silver Boulders, which he created in preschool with his friends—David Levi, Thomas Batuello, and Joshua Kaye—who all portray themselves in the film. Nat composed and performed all the music, though one song was by Alex.
