it's fun
I didn't expect a lot from this movie, and it's certainly not Great Cinema, but it IS fun. It's not thought-provoking, it's filled with T&A (this will be a recommendation for some people, a warning for others), the characters are mostly one-dimensional, and the plot carries more cliches than surprises. But so what? I just finished watching it and I'm smiling.Sometimes you want a movie that's full of people dancing and drinking and singing, full of pop songs that kind of make you want to dance around your living room, where the sweet innocent girl gets to be a little naughty but stay sweet and innocent, and where every character triumphs in some way. This is one of those movies. I will say that, despite the multiple female bodies on display (in minimal clothing, but always clothed), this strikes me as more of a girl movie than a guy movie. The romance plot seems aimed at women, as does Violet's personal journey to overcome stagefright. If you ever read those Sunfire romances when you were a teenager, this is one of those, dancing on a bar in leather pants and a halter top.
