Trivia

Kristen introduces herself as Kristen Randall to the music teacher, but the rest of the movie goes by Kristen Parsons, maybe because Randall was her maiden name in high school, that everyone knew her by. Parsons was her married name and daughter's last name.

I fell asleep...does Mariah Carey even sing in this?

In spite of overwhelming urges for Folgers coffee, I still fell asleep. The casting is all over. Like these people were supposed to have gone to school together. Lacey who's perpetually 12 went to school with the male lead and Mariah who are both clearly much older....I don't think so. I tried to stay with it to see how Mariah would fit it and be redeemed. I assume she sings at some point, because otherwise that would just be a waste. Overall it was watchable to a point, but slow and couldn't keep my interest long enough. I'll try to watch it when it airs again, but until then 5 stars.
