I really didn't enjoy the opening of this film. It came off as sophomoric and slapstick, in a juvenile way. But once the movie settled in with the plot, some charming characters, and a direction, it became a very funny and easy to watch movie. I recommend it. You can't help but cheer for these girls (and boy, as they jokingly mention once), as they find purpose in their new found pursuit of jazz. It's an entertaining movie that will have you researching big band jazz music, once the movie is over.
