    • Goofs
      At about 1h 30 mins when Nick is singing on stage, his voice switches to microphone in sync with the music, although he doesn't take the mic from CJ for another 10 seconds. Then when he steps off the stage singing and walking towards Chloe, his voice continues to come from the speakers even though he's wearing no sound equipment.
    • Quotes

      Nick: [looking bored] Look it's five minutes to show; why do we always have to cut this so close?

      JC: [putting his arm around Nick's shoulder] Come here, okay? The secret to success... is *relaxation*.

      Nick: I'm relaxed.

      JC: No. You know there was another guy in my band who couldn't relax either? To be honest with you, he was just as good a singer as me and the other guy.

      Nick: [still looking bored] Justin... Timberlake?

      JC: Whoever. Anyway, he should have been front and center more than he was, but he was *in* the closet, dealing with some personal issues. I'm not gonna say who it was.

      Nick: [matter-of-factly] It was Lance Bass.

      JC: So... You know what I'm talking about?

      Nick: I don't think I do.

    Could have been better
    It was an OK movie that is easy to figure out how it is going to play out. The acting was great and it had some well known actors. Half the cast is literally gay. Usually in movies, they add one or two gay people. This movie is seriously half gay people. It has a nice atmosphere to it that could have been done like a who done it murder movie with how well it introduced the characters, but instead it went for a boring relationship thing that was easily figured out and you knew how the movie was going to go 15 minutes in.
