The Wilde Girls

Is this a hit, no. It's more like a Halkmark movie. Olivia, Swoozie and Chloe acted fine. Of course, Olivia music is loved, as a decades long fan, I didn't mind the new music. Chloe has talent, nice voice, acting not bad. Glad to know she has fought all her demons she struggled with growing up. I enjoyed it more than expected. With Olivia's anniversary of her death approaching, her music and movies have popped up in my YouTube feed. Just saw a Christmas one that was adorable... Chloe was also in it, much younger. I grew up with Olivia on the 70's-80's, sad to hear she lost her battle with breast cancer.

This isn't a great film, I'll admit, but I have seen worse.

My only issue with this film is that Chloe Rose, the girl who plays the singer in the film, really isn't a very good singer - I find her Mariah Carey-esque warbling a bit grating. Still, she plays the part quite well and luckily there isn't too much singing.

Olivia Newton-John doesn't do herself justice in this role - but not every part can match Sandy in Grease I suppose, and she does do okay in it. I much prefer her singing to that of Chloe Rose's.

It is a bit of a generalization, but I would suggest this is a nice film to be watched by a mother and daughter - a silly, light-hearted film, semi-dramatic and quite heart-warming. Don't expect much or look at it too critically - it is only 90 minutes long and it is nice enough.

Maybe because ONJ has been my idol since I was a little girl but I loved this movie. I was watching the ONJ This is your life show and just saw that Wilde girls even existed. It sure wasn't promoted enough 20 years ago. I think that thecasting was great and I believe the acting was first rate. Obviously, it's not an Academy Award winner, it's not meant to be but it's a fun movie!!!

"The Wilde Girls" is about a single mom (ONJ), vet, and ex-singer with a talented 14 year old daughter (Lattanzi) and the daughter's long estranged father (Ehlers) and a kookie friend (Kurtz) and reconciliation and forgiveness and...and...and stuff. A kind of wholesome and sentimental flick with some pretty good singing and some pretty awful acting and direction and a really corny story. It's pretty difficult to pick apart a film which has ONJ singing with her kid or singing to puppies but this is, by cinematic standards, pretty awful stuff. Recommended for teen females and their moms.

Unlike most of the comments, I enjoyed the movie. It was the best and it wasn't the worst, but it was cute and delightful to watch. I also enjoyed the music that was in the movie and just wanted to know if that was Chloe Rose singer or not. And also is there a soundtrack to this movie? I would really enjoy that. Thanks
