Synopsis: A high school boy and girl from two different backgrounds and with different interests land lead roles in the school’s musical production and fall in love with each other; only to find prejudice from their friends threatens both to keep them apart from each other and keep them from pursuing their musical dreams.
What I liked about this movie: I love the fact this is a musical about making a musical. The song and dance numbers throughout the
movie manage to keep the film upbeat and, unlike many other films, even manages to tell the story a bit.
What really impressed me is none of the musical numbers seemed forced.
They fit in perfectly and it is easy at times not to realize they are doing a musical number.
That is extremely impressive for something that ultimately is a made-for-TV movie.
I even have to say the acting was much more impressive than I thought it would ...
