OK so the movie may focus around making music but it is completely unoriginal in a lot of ways it seems to a follow a similar path to that of another Cinderella story with Selena Gomez plus it copies from an actual great movie of save the last dance. You will know what I mean if you watch the movie and have seen the 2 movies I have listed.
For example the similarity to another Cinderella story is about the band sensation who would i guess be the 'ugly step sisters' even if their not humiliating Elle the main character about her obsession for the main character Ty. Also Ty assisting Elle with her music is very similar to that of drew Seeley and Selena Gomez.
Similarity to Save the Last Dance is the fact that her parents have died while trying to make it to her first audition to Berkley and because of this she stopped singing. EXACLTLY THE SAME to save the last dance!! Then she tries again with help from Ty like in save the last dance where Julia stiles auditioned again with the help of Sean Patrick Thomas.
Not to mention lines are copied from save the last dance. For example when she is talking to Ty about the death of her parents she states 'My parents died trying to make it to audition, it's because of my singing they are dead' (something along those lines not exactly!) In save the last dance the line is 'my mother died trying to make it to my audition she died while I was dancing' as well as that at the final audition in both Elle and save the last dance they both fumble their auditions initially when they start and get asked by the judges 'are you ready' and then in works the romantic character of the story saying 'she was born ready!' and they gives the main character a bit of a pep talk and then they ace their audition.
So it is VERY unoriginal
For this I give it a 3/10.
