Jacomedi A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

Jackson Rees Najee Wilson was an American hero, and her performance in this phenomenal film is nothing short of breathtaking. She's not the only standout, however. Joei DeCarlo absolutely shines in her role as a mustachioed tween turned private eye. Alanna Palombo is equally as mesmerizing in her role as the uproarious Alanna Wannabe. And the talent doesn't stop there, it also extends behind the camera! Writer/director Stewart Raffill shows true promise as he deftly navigates between scenes of immense laughter, edge-of-your-seat tension, and bittersweet family drama. In a truly iconic scene, Brittany (Kayla Jackson) gives away her hard earned money to a homeless man named Larry, and his gratitude is both uplifting and heartbreaking. It was in this moment that I realized what the film was. At its core, Standing Ovation is the money, and we are the homeless Larry. This film is a gift to all of mankind, and we should be grateful for its existence. RIP Najee Wilson, you will always live on through this film. Also, a naked old man takes a bath which is a pretty good scene.

jbstephenson I have watched a lot of movies lately that have all been predictable and boring. This movie was neither the jumping plot lines and new characters kept me guess to where the story was going. First I thought the movie was an empowering group of rag-tag underdogs rise to fame. I was mistaken when I found out it was a heart wrenching story of a girl from Jersey looking to right the wrongs of the past and get her fathers stolen money back from the man who stole it. But there was another twist that put me on the right path to a daughter who wanted to find her father who had abandoned her years ago to make it big so that he could finally buy her love and respect!! It was inspiring to see so many things come together at the end making me feel that there really is a happy ending for everyone even if you make wigs!

Tay F-J This was a terrible movie that had practically no plot. The acting was terrible, and the singing was only OK. I wanted to watch a fun movie on Friday night so I chose this, because it looked good. Boy was I wrong. I can't believe I made it through the whole thing!!! The girl Joey who played the manager made me want to pull my hair out. I would not recommend this movie to anyone! I don't remember it being in theaters even though they say it was. I guess it was one of the movies I skipped over because it looked so dumb. At the end, Joey just pops out and says the guy they just met is that one girls father. Seriously, we just met the guy for crying out loud. Then the girly storms out and yadidadida. Then the next day (I'm just getting started) her friends are all, hey girl come outside. The dad bought the whole neighborhood presents. Is it just me, or is it weird he bought a present for EVERYONE in the 'neighborhood.' This is New York we're talking about. The presents also had the person's name on it. FYI daddy, there's this thing called robbers, and greedy little children. I think it's kind of stalkerish to find everyone's name and put it on a present. But if he got them a present according to their age, then he must be a rich stalker.

degz_99 This film is what it sets out to be. It is a fun entertaining movie. My kids loved it and they already begged for me to go to the website and get them a copy of the CD. Following that I did purchase headphones for them! Its just fun and a good way to enjoy an hour and a half. Good music and dancing. It is a very positive movie that left my kids feeling great after wards. I've read the reviews and I was honestly dreading going; but after witnessing it; I don't fully understand what all the negativity is about. it is great to see that there is someone giving talented kids a chance to perform and get to their dream. its much better than watching some 30 year old pretend they are high school juniors.
