25th Annual KidFilm Festival - Spectacular!
January 25
, 2009
When Nikko’s ejected from his band for playing by his own rules, he needs quick cash to record a solo demo. Courtney grabs the opportunity to recruit the wannabe rock star as lead singer for her floundering show choir group, Spectacular. Though a stickler for the rules, Courtney slips Nikko into the key spot vacated by Royce (Simon Curtis, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat), who has defected to rival group, Ta-Da. Nikko is wary at first of the glitzy group – dazzling attire courtesy of Oscar-winning costume designer Angus Strathie (Moulin Rouge) – but he’s also desperate to jump-start his solo career, and the potential prize money is a magnet. Fueling the competition further, Royce's gorgeous new girlfriend Tammi (Victoria Justice, Zoey 101) leads Ta-Da. Will Courtney find a way to adapt to Nikko’s style? Can Nikko learn teamwork and can Courtney learn to “feel the music?” Can Spectacular compete with juggernaut Ta-Da? And above all, will Nikko remain loyal while his solo rock career waits in the wings? Featuring fantastic performances by a talented young cast, with lots of singing and dancing. Starring Nolan Gerard Funk, Tammin Sursok, Simon Curtis, and Victoria Justice. 93 minutes. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
