Today, I watch the
movie to practice listening and speaking
skills. A Cinderella story: Once
upon a song is the name of this movie. This film is about
the life of a woman who has a wicked
stepmother.
In brief of this film,
Lucy Hale plays Katie, a talented young girl with musical aspirations who is
mistreated and used as a servant by her snooty stepmother, Gail Van Ravensway
(Pyle), who also happens to be the dean of the prestigious private school she
attends. Her home life is further vexed by her spoiled step-sister, Bev
(Park), and her obnoxious prank-loving step-brother, Victor (Lintz). When
Luke Morgan (Stroma), the son of fabulously successful music producer Guy Morgan
(Tulaine), enrolls at their school, Katie conspires to slip a copy of a
recorded demo into Guy's briefcase and Gail schemes to make a romantic pair of
Bev and Luke. When Guy calls the school to indicate that he liked the
demo and is interested in meeting the singer, Gail puts two and two together
and blackmail's Katie into pre-recording vocals so that Bev can lip-synch to
them at the upcoming school musical production. A
series of chance encounters in which Luke becomes fascinated with Katie's voice
without actually seeing her face leads to a search that plays right into Gail's
lip-sync deception plans. At the showcase, Victor sabotages Bev in the middle
of the song with Tony's help by crashing the IPod having Katie's recorded
singing voice, much to Katie's shock, forcing Gail to make Katie sing live backstage.
Luke sees Katie being dragged by Gail and questions her, finally realizing
Katie is the girl with a beautiful voice all along. Katie and Luke admit their
feelings for each other and they kiss. Luke asks Katie wants to make her album
after Guy tells Luke about Katie's performance and they are happily ever after.
To
summary, this was a WONDERFUL movie with a WONDERFUL soundtrack, but it does
use the 'B' word. I don't know why in the world they had to do that. I think
the movie would have been even better without it. Still pretty good, though. I
don't think that six year olds should listen to the b word, but I had to rate
it on everything else, not just one bad word. And the part where the little
brother takes her cloths is also not needed, but funny for older audiences.
