As a musical movie, I believe that the overall story is very good. It could inspire youngsters to learn about music, not just jazz but any kind of music. In fact I feel an encouragement for the viewer to at least appreciate a bit more music that they don't like or are not familiar with.
There are only few main cast which is nice. That way the viewer won't get confused over who's who. Oh, and I find certain cast to be quite cute (that's a personal taste though) which makes the movie more interesting.
Unfortunately I believe that they could spend less time in explaining how did the lunches got delivered to the stadium. Like for example they could erase the scene where the girls are seen panicking after missing their train station and the scene in the river. Instead use that time to focus more on showing the process of learning to play the instrument. They only show very little parts of that. All of a sudden the girls and the math teacher, who is apparently still learning himself, were able to play the music right. It's like yesterday they were nobody but the the next day they already become pro.
Otherwise I see this as a great movie. I believe this movie also inspires the Chinese movie titled Our Shining Days (2017) since it bears a similar plot.
