Well, I tuned in to this on TV. I was interested because I was familiar with JoJo as a singer. I didn't know quite what to expect. I ended up watching it three times in a row. Twentieth Century Fox should be commended for this little gem. I rated this a ten because that is where it falls in reference to what it is trying to be. This is a charming, bright, sunny, funny, touching, day at the beach, full of laughter, tears, friendship and love. If you don't like that, or perhaps you don't like the sound and sight of squealing, laughing, running and smiling girls, well then perhaps this is not your cup of tea. But if you want a happy go lucky romp back into your younger years, then forget your cares and step right up. I can't help but think the Australian influence in this film helped the atmosphere immensely. Sara, Emma, JoJo, Jake and Arielle were all great in this film. As far as Sara, Emma, and JoJo's acting is concerned, they nailed it. That is what girls act like. Welcome to Planet Earth. This film has its values in the right place. And, what is more, it has its heart in the right place. What a blast. Enjoy!

This is a really good made for TV movie which has recently made its debut on Lifetime. A drunk and out of control, young Hollywood actress is sent by her family and agent to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to go to high school, dry out, and learn some values. This movie really picks up as she integrates into her new school environment. This is the first lead role for Joanne "JoJo" Levesque and I would respectfully suggest that she serves notice here that she will be a major force as an actress in the very near future. In this film, and Aquamarine, she has a very watchable and likable presence. Being only 17, a bright future is in front of her as an actress if she wants it. As most are aware, she is already a star in the recording industry and she has stated that is her primary focus. I would hope to see more of her in film in the very near future. Valerie Bertinelli is also very good here as a wizened aunt who helps to straighten the misfit starlet out. Fellow student Eli is also very well portrayed in this film. All and all, this film is topical, timely and well worth the effort of all involved including the viewer.
