Hollywood Stargirl

LOVED THIS! Such a sweet story, so uplifting, and fills you with hope.

Watched it with my 9 & 12 year old girls and we all fell in love with the story.

Great music, great movie! Highly UNDERRATED!

The external critics (as IMDb likes to call them) make it sound like Disney has reinvented the wheel with this one. Which would perhaps be true only if you consider "the wheel" to be your basic Judy Garland movie from the 1940s. And this time around they seem to have remembered that GVDW is actually a singer, correcting a major oversight from the original. No matter. The screen is always commanded by GVDW, one of the most self-possessed 30 year olds (sorry, 18 year olds, a VERY easy mistake to make!) in the entertainment business. There is a reason that, even years later, her appearances on AGT were the highest rated in that show's history. That reason rhymes with "charisma." Enjoy.

The second movie shouldn't have been made or at least they should of made it less corny. The relationship star girl had with the producer seemed inappropriate. Every scene felt like he shouldn't be friendly with this high school girl. The way she acts too is so corny in real life you would think something is wrong with her mental development and the way she acts so carefree seems almost borderline promiscuous. She goes around meeting new people and being overly friendly getting into cars with strangers, accepting gifts from strangers, kissing a stranger romantically for a movie she magically got tossed into. The black people in the movie felt like they were written by white writers. They were the whitest portrayal of black men I ever seen in my life. I'm from LA and the hipster type black people I run into which I think is what they tried portraying in this movie don't act like that. I started getting a workout in the movie. Finished my workout 10 minutes before the movie ended and shut it off to take a shower. I saw the majority of the movie.

As the movie "Stargirl" was ending the Caraway family was moving away. This sequel, three years later, has them arriving in Los Angeles where the mother, a designer, has a new job in a new movie being made.

Grace VanderWaal is again Susan "Stargirl" Caraway. She has grown and looks more like a young lady of 17, and she also has become a better singer. Otherwise she still has the great personality and natural acting skills we enjoyed in the former movie.

In an interesting casting change, Judy Greer plays her mother, plus big names like Uma Thurman and Judd Hirsh join the cast and have key roles.

The overall story here is Stargirl finding new friends after the disappointment of moving yet again, and she gets in with two brothers, sons of their landlady, who are writing and filming their own sizzle reel to sell their concept for a new movie. Stargirl ends up playing a part and doing some singing and songwriting. And finding a new home in the process.

Good movie, I saw it streaming on YouTube movies. Grace VanderWaal is a really good young actress and I totally enjoyed her performance.

That movie is way more different vibe from first movie. They trying to connect first movie story with that one, but they choice very poor way to do.

In the first movie she was the colors of mood. She give her colors in old city, and love. And kinda run away. But here they trying to explain the whole situation but nah.

I love her voice and act, but it is totally different mood is that movie. It is not bad, or maybe that is the way of growing.

One thing I have to say, watch it! And enjoy it, dont let other people change your mind, just go and watch it!

Ps: because the movie I start to listing her music ;)
