Songs were pretty good


But this seemed like a spoof of American idol and it was even mentioned. I did like it in the long run but it was really quite predictable.

I just watched the dvd last night, from my local library. It was better than average I guess for an "independent family film" (which often are quite heavy handed) but like you said it was pretty predictable. I did think the screenwriter made a major error though in giving the girl contestant just a bad ending, falling while singing live and then no followup, one actually cares more about her than the young Spanish guy who was clearly the least talented of the singers and yet he won - though maybe that was the point, these type of shows aren't really about talent but "appeal".

But the follow up was there with the girl. Her fall was her mothers fault for choosing a different dress and not having it altered. So the story with the girl ended when the mother realized what she had done and caused her daughter to lose.

But the contest was supposed to be about the songs they wrote, not themselves as singers. I really enjoyed the songs.
