17 year old high schooler Kat Malone (Ella Hunt) is a talker. She lies and cheats to get into the music world. She talks her way into managing Alex and his struggling band, Dollar Days.
The story is rather standard and a little clunky. It does have good original 90's style alternative music. The guys are not breaking out. Ella Hunt is a good actress but she comes off a little too old for the role. She first shows up in the movie all made up towering over her best friend. The effect is that she is obviously playing younger. There are other clunky elements like breaking up with her best friend twice. Once is enough. It would have been nice if her friend does something to make up for their fight instead of the other way around. At the end of the day, this is small indie trying to punch above its weight. It has some good music and that's half the battle.

a little clunky
Rescued from being appalling
Funny to see 10/10 ratings here. There's nobody genuinely rating this as 10/10. The story is unoriginal and uninteresting. The acting from the majority of the cast is appalling. The main actress isn't bad and Dougie isn't too bad. That and the fact that there is a feel good factor to it saves it from being a 1/10 for me but it is instantly forgettable.
A Good Idea ...Poorly Executed
Started watching this - didn't know anything about it beforehand. It's a reasonable attempt at a "teen" flick, and does have some good actors in it....but unfortunately they don't prop up what is a pretty weak film. The actress in the titular role is competent, but the band members look like this is their first real acting job...maybe it is??
The storyline needs to be tighter, the direction needs to be more aggressive and less ponderous and the script itself just needs to be more professional...
I'm pretty sure that a load of effort was put into this film, so I have to show a degree of respect for that, but I could tell within the first few minutes that it fell some way short of being a polished production.
