This movie is as formulaic as baby formula....very predictable which to me is a sign of lazy writing, producing and directing.

Its also a 15 year old boys wet dream!

Where the movie works is generally a good soundtrack and any scene that has John Goodman in it.

Where it fails is any time they focus on her song writing.

Released in 2000 the film drips 90's clichés.

Still overall the movie has enough highpoints (and John Goodman) to be entertaining and earn itself a little more than a pass mark.
