The Story:
Grace Trey (Michalka) is the daughter of former rock star Johnny Trey (Denton). He quit the business and is now a music minister with Grace by his side, but she's growing up and starting to rebel just a bit. When Johnny's old one-hit wonder becomes popular again, his former agent Mossy (Pollack) shows up, and offers him a chance to go on the road again and make some new music. Johnny turns him down, but Grace decides that she will take the break being offered and leaves home and heads to become a rock star. However, the deeper Grace gets into the business, the more her faith becomes compromised, and she has to make a big decision.
When genres collide... welcome to the Christian Coming-of-Age film!
Now this is a special circumstance film.
First, Grace comes from a famous family, so most kids would not be able to relate to that aspect.
I mean, running away from home would normally entail actually running, not heading down to buy a plane ticket and flying to LA,
So, you've got to suspend the disbelief a little with this one.
Grace is faced with having to compromise her principles as the music industry sinks their claws deeper into her with each passing day.
Will she turn her back on God and her family to become the latest pop sensation?
Or will she realize that there's more to singing than churning out music, regardless of what it might cost?
Available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: Solid C, maybe even C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Pretty good, but nothing spectacular that requires repeated viewing.
