On the bad side, Starstruck was a of Cinderella story, albiet with a few twists, which to be frank, has been milked so much that it is not at all orgininal, predictable, and therefore can be boring. Plus, you can only do so much with such a simple idea, and, not to be racist or anything, but would it kill disney for once not to have a black sidekick, because that idea is just getting old, and its so accented that its kind of missing the point of that all races are the same and equal, not just a bunch of whites, and then an "oh we dont want people to complain about racisim, so lets put a black guy in there!" . I also did not like the many holes in the background, and how Jessica and Christopher meet. Why are Jessica's parents so nonchalant about their daughter's many disappearances, in of all places, Los Angelos? Why is she not grounded when she re-appears, and seemingly doesn't tell them anything? And why is Jessica willing to go with a complete stranger to various random different places, with little despute? Sure, Christopher Wilde is a popstar, but he is still a stranger. If Jessica were obsessed with him, this would make more sense, but isn't the whole movie pretty much based on how she is not fazed about this kind of thing? Unfortunatly, the papparazi do not completely cover it. What is really going on with her Family? It would have been a lot better if the writers had made this more clear. For example, when Christopher hits Jessica on the head and takes her to the docter, it would have been better if Christopher's docter had said "well, you seem a bit confused, why don't you lie down a bit?" instead of "well, you are perfectly ok", because that would explain why she had gone with a stranger in the middle of Los Angelos to a docter, because if she were "just fine" one would question why she did this. this is just one of the things that doesn't make sense. The writers did not do a very good job with the plot (lately it seems that either Disney movies have ok writing and a bad plot, or an ok plot and bad writing!) Basically, the whole part where Jessica and Christopher meet does not make sense considering the characters and Jessica's family.
On the bright side though, the music was really great, especially by the latest disney standards, the characters, although some people might disagree, both had some imperfections and virtues, which to me is realistic, while a character with all virtues is not. For example, Jessica can be very unfriendly, but that is often because of her honesty. The actors are actually pretty good, and you can laugh at the eccentric characters easily, such as Sarah, and though I complained about the idea earlier, I liked Christopher Wilde's sidekick, Stubby quite a bit, especially since the actor who plays him is excellent. The charisma is fairly innocent, and will not make many children uncomfortable. The best part is the ending, it is very sweet, and the song was really nice.
All in all, if you are looking for something to fill your empty hours, watching this isn't the worst thing you could do. Although many parts do not make sense, its plot is alright, that is entertaining enough to keep you interested till the end.
