American Reject

I thought this movie would be funny based on the trailer but I was NOT prepared for how touching it is too! The main character, Kay, goes on quite the journey and must make amends with her past. The acting was engaging throughout and there are two songs (one by Kay, and one by Anna) that are real showstoppers! If you like reality shows, musicals and sweet, character-based comedy don't miss this one!

American Reject is a feel-good comedy following a 30-something heroine who must come to terms with failure. The film begins with her immense humiliation before all of America, immediately garnering our sympathy for her plight. Though it's clear she has some flaws, we're rooting for her to achieve her dreams (and regain some dignity). Along the way, she grows as a person, makes new friends, and learns some valuable lessons about being a person. This film caused me to laugh and cry. I would recommend American Reject to anyone looking for something both heartfelt and humorous.

An inside look at how being on a "reality" competition show can change your life. It's not all sunglasses and autographs and the mental weight is heavier than the audience knows.

Very good movie.

This movie has all of my favorite things: a flawed, funny main character; a great premise; and tons of heart. Oh - and music too! The performances are great all around, and the nuanced direction gives dimension to each character. Perfect for movie night...or any night!

Low budget movie critiquing American popular culture. Mostly light hearted humor. An easy watch to pass a lazy afternoon.

We follow a washed up pop idol contestant return to her home town after shamefully losing the competition.

Not bad.
