Feed good movie with very accurate and convincing acting

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 1999)

This movie is the one I keep by my VCR to watch whenever I just want to watch something fun and light that makes me feel good. The exuberance of a bunch of teenagers who strike it big in a few weeks shines through this movie. As a person who played in a high school band myself, I can say that the scene where they first hear their song on the radio is probably the most exciting in the movie. The actors/director captured the raw excitement of a rising band and really transmit it well across the screen.
