PLOT:
via UP: Musically gifted, teenage Grace (AJ Michalka) wants to do more than perform in her father’s church band. She longs for pop stardom, but her father (James Denton), a former music idol, warns her that fame often comes with a high price and that using her gift in the service of God is a loftier goal. When his former manager pays a visit, Grace decides to take his offer of a shot at the big time. But, the more successful she becomes, the more she feels pressure to compromise her religious values.

Our family has watched this movie several times via Netflix. It was especially popular with our teenaged daughter named Grace. It is easy to get caught up in the glam and glory of pop stardom and to lose yourself, your faith, and your roots in the process. This movie addresses that. It helped our children see the seedier side of showbiz without being too graphic. I would give this movie a thumbs up.
