Raise Your Voice 2004


Raise Your Voice


     Terri and Paul Fletcher have a very strict father.  Terri would like to attend a musical summer camp in Los Angeles but her father is opposed.  Her brother Paul is planning on going away to college so he can get away from home and from under his father.  Terri doesn’t know that Paul creates a video of her singing and sends it along with an application for her to join the camp.  Terri gives Paul a gift of rock concert tickets but Paul is grounded.  She convinces him to sneak out with her because the concert will be that evening.  They really have a good time but they are involved in a car accident on the way home.
     This is probably geared for tweens and teens but it is still interesting with a lot of good music and singing.  I’m surprised about the very low reviews, this isn’t rocket science we are watching?  It also includes tips on how not to handle teens!!  There needs to be boundaries but if they become too severe, it drives them away instead.  3* (This movie is OK)

103 min, Family directed by Sean McNamara with Hilary Duff, Oliver James, David Keith, Dana Davis, Johnny Lewis, Rita Wilson, Lauren C. Mayhew, Kat Dennings, Jason Ritter, Rebecca De Mornay, John Corbett.

Note:  Imdb 5.9 out of 10, 15% critic 71% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 1*.
