Brave New Girl

I watched this old ABC family movie last weekend with my mom called Brave New Girl. I had completely forgotten about that movie. I remember when I saw the previews Erica and I were totally making fun it of and didn't really want to watch it. I mean, come on...it was written and produced by Brittney Spears...so how good could that be? But I watched it...like I do all ABC family movies. And surprise! I LOVED it! I am a little embarressed to say that. But it was good. It really wasn't based on Brittney's rise to fame. It was a kind of Gilmore Girls/Center Stag-ish movie about a girl from Texas who likes to sing Brttney Spears songs (obviously) and gets a scholarship to a big NYC liberal arts school where everyone sings opera. Her single mom, having nothing to go back to in Texas ends up staying with her daughter. And the end is the best. She ends up showing everyone up at the concert by doing a piece from Carmen and then leading it into a really great pop song with the same music. It is the best song! And the best news...I finally found a bootleg copy of it on the internet. I can't believe they didn't release a soundtrack. I would have sooo gotten it. So many good songs. I mean, I know it is just an ABC family movie, but they have soundtracks for movies on the disney channel. But the disney channel is a bigger, more established network...but you know Disney does own ABC family...so what does that mean? Anyways, it is a really great movie and great song about being strong and following your dreams...ok clique lyrics, but the opera and the pop was way innovative.

Wow, after re-reading this post I realize that I sound a lot like Mia in the Princess Diaries...I guess I have been reading those too long. But they are very good books!
