Movie review
From Time Out New York
After the death of beloved brother Paul, Terri (Duff) struggles with the decision to defy her overprotective dad and pursue her spotlight-centered dreams. Terri learns she's been accepted into a "prestigious" performing-arts program on the West Coast—apparently, the academy's admissions office was charmed by Paul's homemade movie about Terri's positive attitude, complete with footage of the aspiring chanteuse warbling into a hairbrush. She heads to L.A., where she encounters a host of catty classmates and a rocky romance with dreamy singer-songwriter Jay (James). If you're not put off by the vocal stylings of its ubiquitous starlet, you'll probably find this innocuous tweener fare bearable.Author: EC
