    Awesome Movie!

    Wow, what a cool movie. This movie is great for people who are fans of Shannen Doherty because she sings a lot in it! Her name is Heather in the movie and she's in a band. And this other girl tries to take her life, or rather, replace her. I have to say two thumbs up. I saw it on tv. And it's on again in a couple days, so I'm going to tape it. Shannen Rocks in it, you just have to see it.

    Doherty & Blanc were Two Hot Stars

    Always enjoy Shannen Doherty(Heather Romley),"The Rendering",'02, and in this picture Heather is portrayed as a very talented young girl who continues to be talented in almost everything that she does. However, in her past there was a contest that she won when she was very very young and the loser just doesn't seem to forget the horrible loss. There is lots of action through out the entire film with even a murder thrown into the picture. Jennifer Blanc (Zanne Armstrong or Boxer),"Quality Time",'04 gave an outstanding performance and had some very warm and steamy romantic scenes which seemed to over shadow Heather and her love life. There is lots of action and eventually you can almost determine just how the film will end, and then it cuts off and ENDS. Shannen Doherty & Jennifer Blanc were simply fantastic in their acting roles.

    addicting

    all of the acting in this movie is mediocre at best, but it is one of the most addictive movies i have ever seen. since it is practically on a loop over at vh1, i have seen it at least 3 times.

    frankly, neither shannen nor jennifer have great voices, but that is why it is so funny. the plot is really obvious from the beginning, and it is pretty trite. again, that is part of the charm.

    shannen doherty is one of my least favorite 'actresses,' but she is so bad in this that it is wonderful. this is one of the best made for tv movies because it takes lame plots, one sided characters, and easily forseeable plot twists from all other movies before it.

    i would recommend this when you are sick or bored, but it really needs no recommendation because it will suck you in.

    Oh Yes, Go Shay!

    Shannen Doherty's kind of movie.

    If I had not seen it 5 times i'd give it a 10, coz it's really good, but no...

    Everything is ok. The plot, the actors, the clothes.. There is just one thing, I HATE the music that they played! Like OMG who would ever want to change places with Shannen in a band that is SO BAD!! I'd muuuch rather be the other girl (see I haven't studied the character names ;-P)

    Yeap, but i'll give it 7 out of 10 anyway, it's worth that...

    shannon sings

    i never really knew that Shannon Doherty could sing that well, now i'm a guy and her singing just totally blew my doors off, it's something that i would actually listen to. This movie is about competition,, from early childhood, all the way up to adult life,, 2 girls compete for practically everything,, talent shows , the works,, then one day the other girl,, the one who is always 2nd place she has a nervous breakdown on stage and loses very badly. now years pass, and they say that time heals all wounds,, right,,,, wrong,, the girl now has a different identity, she says her parents were killed in the plane crash and sets out to destroy the girl that made her childhood a living nightmare. the it girl,, played by shannon doherty is all grown up with her own band,,trying to make it big on the new rock n roll scene,, soon her rival will weasel her way into the band and into her life to unleash a very unhealthy dose of vengeance.
