Hollywood Stargirl

This is really a cute, sweet, engaging show! Nothing wrong with this at all - it's a fun movie. We enjoyed it across the board. It's a little slow, but it's a easy cute family movie. And that's all I have to say about that!

I don't know where to even begin. This movie is so cute and amazing. I loved it. I will definitely be watching this again. I recommend for all ages. From beginning to end it's really hands down the absolute best.

The external critics (as IMDb likes to call them) make it sound like Disney has reinvented the wheel with this one. Which would perhaps be true only if you consider "the wheel" to be your basic Judy Garland movie from the 1940s. And this time around they seem to have remembered that GVDW is actually a singer, correcting a major oversight from the original. No matter. The screen is always commanded by GVDW, one of the most self-possessed 30 year olds (sorry, 18 year olds, a VERY easy mistake to make!) in the entertainment business. There is a reason that, even years later, her appearances on AGT were the highest rated in that show's history. That reason rhymes with "charisma." Enjoy.

As the movie "Stargirl" was ending the Caraway family was moving away. This sequel, three years later, has them arriving in Los Angeles where the mother, a designer, has a new job in a new movie being made.

Grace VanderWaal is again Susan "Stargirl" Caraway. She has grown and looks more like a young lady of 17, and she also has become a better singer. Otherwise she still has the great personality and natural acting skills we enjoyed in the former movie.

In an interesting casting change, Judy Greer plays her mother, plus big names like Uma Thurman and Judd Hirsh join the cast and have key roles.

The overall story here is Stargirl finding new friends after the disappointment of moving yet again, and she gets in with two brothers, sons of their landlady, who are writing and filming their own sizzle reel to sell their concept for a new movie. Stargirl ends up playing a part and doing some singing and songwriting. And finding a new home in the process.

Good movie, I saw it streaming on YouTube movies. Grace VanderWaal is a really good young actress and I totally enjoyed her performance.

LOVED THIS! Such a sweet story, so uplifting, and fills you with hope.

Watched it with my 9 & 12 year old girls and we all fell in love with the story.

Great music, great movie! Highly UNDERRATED!
