    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      At about 1h 30 mins when Nick is singing on stage, his voice switches to microphone in sync with the music, although he doesn't take the mic from CJ for another 10 seconds. Then when he steps off the stage singing and walking towards Chloe, his voice continues to come from the speakers even though he's wearing no sound equipment.
    • Quotes

      Nick: [looking bored] Look it's five minutes to show; why do we always have to cut this so close?

      JC: [putting his arm around Nick's shoulder] Come here, okay? The secret to success... is *relaxation*.

      Nick: I'm relaxed.

      JC: No. You know there was another guy in my band who couldn't relax either? To be honest with you, he was just as good a singer as me and the other guy.

      Nick: [still looking bored] Justin... Timberlake?

      JC: Whoever. Anyway, he should have been front and center more than he was, but he was *in* the closet, dealing with some personal issues. I'm not gonna say who it was.

      Nick: [matter-of-factly] It was Lance Bass.

      JC: So... You know what I'm talking about?

      Nick: I don't think I do.

    Take this 1 with a pinch of salt
    Other people are saying this movie fails because it's copying other movies about the behind the scenes of theatres , but this film is so much cleverer than that.

    It's wholly based on old 1 hit wonder songs that we all know, the movie is not about taking it serious at all. Some of the songs will take you back to places that some people will remember.

    It's no masterpiece of a movie, it's meant to be cheesy but it's still a clever production.

    Give it a go.. it's all about having a little bit of fun.
