What's The Story

Will Burton has never really fit in at school. At best he gets ignored, at worst, beat to a pulp. So when blonde cheerleader-type Charlotte Barnes asks for Will's help in putting together a rock/ska group for a massive band competition, he isn't quite sure what to do with himself. As he works with Charlotte, he begins to develop the confidence that comes from being really good at what he does, and a fellow outsider of the female persuasion begins to look at him in a whole new light.

Three Good Reasons

• 1Rock & roll is reason enough, and these kids have real talent. Everyone in the movie plays his/her instrument on camera.
• 2Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical and Gaelan Connell from Chocolat make an adorable if unlikely couple.
• 3Camp, the first film by Bandslam writer-director Todd Graff, was called "a blast of exuberant fun" by Rolling Stone.

Bet You Didn't Know

Charlotte is played by Alyson Michalka, better known as half of the pop due Aly and AJ. Soon, AJ (a.k.a Amanda) will be in The Lovely Bones, adapted for the screen by The Lord of the Rings' Peter Jackson. More about Bandslam on Yahoo! Movies
