Trivia
While this movie takes place in the 1950s (and is actually a remake of a 50s movie) with no direct affiliation to Roger Corman's Rock n' Roll High School, which took place in 1979/1980, three actresses from RNRHS (Mary Waranov, P.J. Soles, and Dey Young) play characters in this movie named after their RNRHS characters (Evelyn Togar/E. Jayne Togar, "Riff" Randall/Evelyn Randall, and Kate Rambeau/Kate Rambeau, Sr., respectively).

Crazy credits
After the credits Sireena's aunt discusses the publishing rights of their songs with their new label head.

Made in the 90's but definitely part of the 50s!

From the very beginning of this film, those who have any fondness of the 50s and its music know that this is a film they will enjoy. The camera work is done in such a way that it seems to bring you greatly into the emotion of the film and truly make you believe that you are there. This then carries on though the film along with some classic 50s music. It is a film in which the parents are so stereotype-hyped that they almost don't seem real, yet there is an edge to them which makes you fear that parents truly where that way. It tells the story, not only of the apparent parent inability to accept rock 'n' roll but of the social pressure against the coloured community at the time. In many ways this film seems to still talk about many issues of today and therefore this remake still has a modern edge. The only thing against this film is the fact that more was not done with the plot, therefore creating a film where you know how it will end from the first meeting we see of Susan (the main star played by Renee Zellweger) and Luck.

A great film full of romance, teenage angst, and more importantly - the 50s.
