[edit] Synopsis

Standing Ovation is a feel-good music and dance movie for the entire family. This high-energy movie is a fun story about loyalty and perseverance that showcases the importance of friendship and working together while celebrating the meaning of family.

“Long after the last note has sounded, Standing Ovation still resonates with its energetic and passion-filled personification of the American Dream. You’re never too young—or too old—to fulfill your dreams and claim your own standing ovation.”

[edit] Plot

Standing Ovation tells the story of The Five Ovations: five middle school friends who form a singing group to compete in a national music video contest. The group encounter their share of ups and downs, especially with their arch rivals, The Wiggies, a group composed of five talented sisters who, together with their rich parents, will do anything to sabotage the Ovations' chances of competing for the grand prize of $1 million.

Armed with nothing but talent, passion and street smarts, the 5 Ovations find something more valuable at the end of their quest: that perseverance, family and friendship (plus a healthy dose of laughter) are instrumental in fulfilling your dreams.

[edit] Reception

[edit] Critical reception

Standing Ovation was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews, receiving a 7% on Rotten Tomatoes. Joe Leydon of Variety Magazine called it "at once annoyingly hyper and underwhelmingly dull.[5] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said "Standing Ovation is an innovative film in the sense that every minute or so it comes up with a different way of being annoying."[6] Though Gary Thompson of the Philadelphia Daily News said "the film may serve as a springboard for the eager and available talent" in the film, Chris Hewitt of the St. Paul Pioneer Press said that he "had never heard of the people in Standing Ovation... and I hope never to hear of any of them again." Carrie Rickey of "The Philadephia Inquirer" said "The cast is full of fresh-faced unknowns ready for their close-ups. Most likely to succeed is Kayla Jackson, an almond -eyed dreamer."[7][8] It has a score of 22 on Metacritic by the critics but a user score with mixed and average reviews,[9] and has been placed on a worst of 2010 list along with The Last Airbender[10][11].
