Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very well acted and humorous movie I liked it very much. Kari wuhrer is delightful as a seductive bimbo, who by her relationship with a record mogul gets a chance at a singing career her problem is that she has no talent at all as a singer but yet thinks she's very talented as a singer. enter record producer roger duncan who has to make it all work out, when he stumbles upon Maggie stanley at a karaoke bar who has a great voice but is crowd shy he tells her he is a record producer and would very much like her to make a demo unbeknownst to maggie he dubbeds over Kari's voice with maggie's Kari(sunni)becomes a instant star maggie becomes pissed! what follows is hilarious because now sunni wants to perform live. since this would be a great embarrassment to all involved in the coverup. what follows is trickery and backstabbing, in short what follows is sunni's humiliation and maggie's vindication. This movie was well produced entertaining and funny which is very uncommon in a video of this sort.Movie Review: A really cool movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
Yeah, it's a B movie, but there are some wonderful things to point out. It was originally released on VH1 as "Out of Sync". I happened to catch it and all the cliche'd characters and catchy songs totally got me into it. Gail O' Grady is absolutely hot and her son in the movie (who's actually in the now defunct band, Serial Joe) reminds me of when I was young trying to find direction in music. For a TV movie it totally rocked and I could watch the ending song "If Love Could Only Live (Online)" a hundred times. From what I've found, that song was written and recorded by Kim Bingham with her band, "The Kim Band", but I haven't been able to find it...just a snippet from her website. As for Serial Joe and the movie soundtrack, there are no traces of it. If you haven't seen this movie, it's a real gem and comes with some great laughs...PLUS you can learn a thing or two on how to deal with your troublesome teenagers!!!Movie Review: Superficiality at its best
Summary: 3 Stars
POSSIBLE SPOILERThis movie is probably the most complete compendium of commonplaces I have seen in years. Every cliché in the book is there, from the failed musician in rehab, to the unscrupulous producers, to the frustrated housewife, to the mindless bimbo. Oh, by the way, in the subplot department we find the unsupportive husband, the moronic teenage son and the angelical little daughter.
I'm not saying that you can't have a good time watching this movie, if you find a moment in which you don't want to occupy your head in more demanding tasks, but the shortcomings are impossible to conceal. There is no character development whatsoever, the kind of "comedy of errors" procedure is specially annoying since nobody can understand why do they want to complicate things in such a stupid way, the ending is "Singing in the Rain" like (and that should be enough to get the picture), and so on.
The acting doesn't help a lot the efforts of the, apparently gifted, screenwriters to put some intelligent humor in the dialog. The male main character is appalling and the rest of his male colleagues are not much better, except for the one who plays the cajoling producer, which is even worse. However, it is fair to say that the difference with the women performances is monumental. Gail O'Grady gives a dignified rendering of her one-sided character and, although the script forces her to do stupid things, she manages to remain lovable to the audience. Kari Wuhrer is superb. She succeeds in taking her dumb-brunette role and pulling a person out of it, with different facets and an opening for development, which is aborted because she doesn't get enough time to work on it. But this is not her fault, of course. I would love to see her in a really interesting role in which she could show what she can, as well as how great she looks, which is undeniable, by the way.
As I said, you can spend an uncritical one hour and half watching this movie if you are not looking for fancy things like logic, character development or intelligent entertainment.
