Starstruck Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Gillian Armstrong
Genres: Comedy, Musical
Rating:
Star Struck is a light, frothy pop-culture musical comedy from Australia, where Jackie (Jo_Kennedy) dreams of becoming a singing star and her cousin Angus (Ross O'Donovan) thinks he has what it takes to be a successful manager. After a spot at the hip club in town (wearing a kangaroo suit) fails to win Jackie any paying gigs, Angus enters her in a major talent competition to be held on New Year's Eve. If Jackie wins, her career is assured, and the 25,000 grand prize will help keep her parents' cafe open. But can Jackie stand the pressure? Will the band get it together in time? And will Angus ever get a girl? Star Struck plays like a mid-1980s "New Wave" variation on an old "Let's Put On A Show!" teenage musical, with tunes by Phil_Judd and Tim_Finn of the popular New Zealand band Split Enz. Keep your eyes peeled for a bit part played by Geoffrey_Rush, 14 years before he would win an Oscar for his work in Shine. Mark Deming, Rovi
