This is a well made music video, with top... let's say GOOD marks for production value, sound, cinematography, all that basic stuff. It looks expensive, and the location is excellent.
There's an obvious, in-your-face wink to the Sound of Music: That there are also 7 child actors, also 2 boys and 5 girls, who are dressed in Austrian styled clothes, vaguely reminiscent of Lederhosen, but made out of sturdy denim, those clues kind of give that away. Then there's an oldest "girl", just like in the original movie. The youngest is now-actress
Madeleine McGraw (Mads for close friends) who does a good job of delivering the last line, seemingly bored senseless. Or, upon review, it might be her sister
Violet McGraw who here is still cute, but judging by her IMDb photo, didn't age well. She looks more and more like her father each day. It must be a burden. However, she does do a great job of knee-sitting, have to say.
One of the two boys, hard to say which, but probably the insane dancer, is active on Instagram, but his Insta girlfriends are way more interesting. The other boy is not in an acting capacity anymore. The only dissonant is the oldest Von Trapp girl, Von Tr*** more likely. Yes, the original Liesl also was the only one with a romantic interest, and this one is too, played by a > 25+ year old woman, but somehow, her intended sexiness descended into something like sluttiness. I blame the director. Or casting. Poor girl couldn't do anything about that. She also can't act, but that's not really the point. Oh .... well.
Overall, good clip, creative story line, it's a notch better than all those dime a dozen rap vids with all the "honey's by the pool", and there's some actual (but minimal) acting going on too.
Also, the song is not bad.
