Now your probably thinking, "He gave it 10 stars?? Only some horny 17 year old guy would give it that" and I'm not here to disagree. Seen it last night on TV and thought it was awesome... Storey was great, the feeling was good, and most of all the actors were top notch. Some say if you took Hillie and her music out of the movie, I wouldn't want a bar of this film... and that's probably true too. BUT! She was in it, so it made the movie a thrill to watch. You may call it bias, but its the fact. hell, put Hillie in the worst movie ever and ill give it 10 stars. 10/10

When it comes to Hillary Duff's acting, I give the film a 10/10. The depth of emotion she gives to her character is bottomless. When it comes to the plot, I give the film a 5/10. The plot is one of those familiar schmaltzy plots, but not awful. Her singing, however, I give a 2/10. Hillary's voice is fine for pop music, but if she was trying to pull off being an academically serious music student, she failed. I do not wish to sound pretentious, but when singing an Eighteenth Century Italian Aria, one must at the very least use proper Italian. No pop fan likes to hear an opera singer singing pop. Well no one who properly understands classical music wants to her a pop singer with bad diction, spread vowels, no breath support, bad posture, neck tension, and a locked jaw take her chest voice up higher than it's naturally supposed to go. Also, it was very clear that her voice had been edited and enhanced. The significant number of missing overtones make it clear that she should not be singing standard classical repertoire. Some pop singers would do well with classical repertoire because they have strong technique. Hillary Duff is not one of them. I have no problem with the premise of the movie and I think her acting is terrific, but if they wanted Hillary to be portrayed as doing well at a prestigious music program, then they should not have chosen Caro Mio Ben or the Hallelujah Chorus as music to have her sing.

Hillary Duff (who else?)stars in this predictable, fluff piece, teen drama about a backwoods small town girl with an overprotective and over assertive father keeping his daughter with a singing dream from going to a prestigious music school (and experiencing all the evils of Los Angeles.) Family drama also ensues when her stupidity leads to the death of a family member. But of course she finds some way to get to the school and 'what a surprise!' She's too sweet and goodie goodie and no one likes her or has time to deal with her emotional wah wahs. Falls for cute foreign popular boy, has a run in with the school's resident biotch, and in the end becomes the most popular popstar wannabe there.Ugh, there was so much mushy sugar on this thing it made my teeth hurt. waste your time on something more productive to society, like finding the cure for dumb teenage starlets.
