This film is a bit of a everything and nothing. This was the first movie Anna Kendrick (16 at the time) was in, after a successful string of stage roles. Her mature talent already pretty obvious to everyone but her. The story will resonate with musical nerds (of which I am one) and those who struggled to figure out who they are. This was an Indy, non-union movie, and, although the performers had some pretty serious singing chops, it's sad to see that only a handful went on to successful music/acting careers. A failure of the film was that it was full of so many themes it never really finishes any of them. They threw a lot at the wall and nothing really stuck. I give this film a 6 (fair) out of 10. {Coming of age drama with music}
