About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, family-friendly showbiz comedy-drama with kid performers and a sentimental streak, like The Game Plan or Little Giants; Not for you if you dislike sappy, formulaic stories or abrasive child characters.
Pros: charm and warmth; fun audition moments; appealing lead | Cons: uneven humor; formulaic story beats; some find it boring
