17 year old actress Morgan Carter (Jo Jo) has it all - money, fame and thousands of adoring fans. But her world comes crashing down after she passes out on the red carpet premiere from alcohol poisoning. Morgan is quickly whisked away to rehab but speculation about her substance abuse problem tarnishes her image and keeps the press at heels. Afraid that returning to Hollywood would lead to a relapse, Morgan's mother and manager devise a plan for Morgan to live with her offbeat Aunt Trudy in Indiana, where she can recover without the flashing bulbs of the paparazzi and celebrity bloggers writing about her every move.
Fun teen movie!Reviewed by montymom, 2009-08-10
This movie really surprised me. Well-written and good acting. A peek behind the Hollywood curtain. And some good laughs as well. A good film with a timely message.
So this is what celebrity life is like...Reviewed by Matt, 2009-06-22
I was definitely surprised by this, and for the most part due to JoJo. I know she has acted before, but I assumed her acting would be so similar to the character she's portraying in TCHS that the line would be severely blurred. Though it runs through your head while watching that she is obviously less of a problem child in real life than in the film. Her character is shipped out of Hollywood to Indiana as part of her rehab stint (Due to excessive drinking and partying... sound familiar?), to live with her aunt (Valerie Bertinelli - extremely perky and cute in this film). The fact that this film sounds so familiar is because it does resemble the life story of a number of young actresses you could think of. Though obviously this story is more of a comedy than their lives are. This movie certainly is not made for kids, despite how it may look... I recommend a viewing if you are obsessed with Hollywood and celebrities. It really makes you think about how they live with a different outlook.
