Our Very Own (2005)

 Genre: Drama
Directed by: Cameron Watson
Cast: Allison Janney, Cheryl Hines, Jason Ritter
Running Time: 106 minutes

 


In this coming-of-age drama, a group of teenagers from Shelbyville, Tennessee, work together to prepare a musical theatre number in a local talent show, hoping to impress local girl turned renowned actress Sondra Locke, who is rumored to be coming to town for a festival and movie opening.

This film had potential, but the final product lacked focus. It felt like there was no point to it all, and there was no strong lead to really attach your interest to. Here, Shelbyville was portrayed as boring for the youth, and the film ended up feeling the same way to this adult. The film began and ended, and I still did not get why I was suppose to watch. A few moments gave me hope, but there was nothing pulling those together.
