my summary refers to the fact that this film have 1479 vote just 21 short of make it eligible to be on imdb infamous bottom 100 list the 100 low rat film on the website . with a paltry score of only 1 . 8 and this would place the film at approximately between # 38 and 46 on the list talk about a very dubious achievement . my score of 3 isn not that bad but it do bring the film that much close to the dreaded list . a for the film and it star the once cute aaron carter yet another prepackaged and forgettable pop star of the 1990s . when he first break onto the scene and he be a cute kid with some song that appeal to pre teen and tweeners on radio disney . his song and look and image be all scrupulously groom and create by market folk and do the trick lead to some huge album sale . unfortunately and by 2005 and sale be in decline and carter have hit his awkward stage of life something all kid his age have to deal with eventually . to put it bluntly and he isn not cute any more in this film and be at a very tough stage of life . i assume now he a gorgeous young man . but in popstar he no longer the heart throb he once be . here and he be just very normal . a death sentence for a kid in his position a a pop sensation . interestingly and the film have some appearance by some other ex teen heart throb from the last few decade include a role for david cassidy and leif garrett two guy who also know what it like to disappear from the limelight . cassidy manage to pick up the piece and make a niche for himself and while garrett be a great example of a pop star whose life after stardom have be a bit of a joke . hopefully carter will take after cassidy in the future and so far and thankfully and he manage to avoid the negative publicity and court appearance of many ex pop idol . i be far from thrill with the film but seriously wish him best in this department . it not his fault he be plaster across the radio and television throughout the early to mid 1990s . in this film and carter doesn not exactly need to stretch himself he play a pop star . however and despite make million and be adore by girl and he doesn not have it all . he quite dense mostly because he have little interest in learn . the problem be so bad that his mother decides to no long home school him force him to go to public school . the problem and though and be that he be rather phobic about take test . and make the grade in school be difficult . so and he get the idea of find a smart girl to date one who would naturally be oblige to help him out in school . he pick the cute but bookish jane ( alana austin ) and pretend to really like her in a sad attempt to make this scheme work . this plot and by the way and isn not bad and could work even though it seem a lot like an episode of a show like the brady bunch or a nickelodeon sit com . sure and it predictable and you know that the formula will mean that she will eventually learn his plot and be hurt and he will eventually realize that he actually do care for her and by the end of the film and all will be forgive and they will be a real couple . but and give good acting and competent direction and this could be worth see for his teen fan and a predictable isn not always bad . and and a it turn out and this isnt exactly where the plot go . but it be awfully close . there be a few good thing i like about the film . see tom bosley and stella stevens play jane grandparent be very nice their role be quite sweet and it be good see them again . also and 1970s make for tv movie star andrew stevens appear in the film it be nice to see him again though part of me hat him and a he look so great after all these year and i look ever bit of my 45 year . he do a fine job and it be nice see him in the same film a his mother ( stella ) . a for carter and with his many prior experience on tv and he be and not surprisingly and pretty good . while his relationship with jane do not seem very believable and he and ms. austin give it their best . the film wasn not great and but they do try and i think most of the problem with the film be in the writing with a good and less formulaic plot and it could have work much well . plus the whole testophobia angle seem pretty contrive . and rather insignificant . who care if a mega millionaire star get anxious take test in school . overall and not a rotten film a the current rating would imply and though there isn not much here to attract a wide audience . people who grow up love carter probably will enjoy the film . old folk will probably care less as well a really young people who probably haven not hear of him . for them and there be no nostalgia value in the film . my favorite part of the film . leif garrett give aaron advice . i felt like scream do not listen . but do not .
