What I liked about this movie is this, it's more down to earth than most. The families seem normal, no one lives in a $9000 apartment on a bookstore employee salary.
The acting was ok to good and love the daddy/daughter relationship. The singing while not the best, is truer to what we would expect from a real life family, and auditions at school. Yes, there are standouts, but most are just good at singing. And this made the movie a little more enjoyable.
Johnny Messner (a fav) and Jamie Lunar chemistry was a little off for falling in love. But again, when we like someone-the first month or so is hit and miss a little while we get to know someone.
It was good to William Katt back at it.
Now on to what I didn't like-Brad. This character was absolutely ridiculous. The seen at the Vet and the Bar, threw the stars down on this movie.
