Hit Record

A documentary crew follows Shug, a high school senior and daughter of a Pastor, as she attempts to become a pop star and break out of small town Oklahoma. What she lacks in talent she makes up for in ambition, recruiting her friends -a pool cleaner and boy from church- to help her with photo shoots, recording songs and shooting music videos. The songs are not good and even the people of Choctaw, Shug's community, can't bolster her star status, but she will not be deterred. Shug delivers a performance on par with Christopher Guest, Parker Posey and the rest of the 'Best In Show' cast.

You will laugh out loud, but it's not without painful moments. Whether you've attempted to make it in "the biz" or not, surely you will identify with Shug's struggle. This is a good one to watch with friends (or the whole family if you don't mind some swearing) and no matter how mediocre the songs are, you won't be able to stop singing them - especially "Betta Be a Balla".
