Get this: A wannabe singer fresh out of school decides to listen to her younger 14-year-old brother and put on a fake pair of inflatable breasts to tightrope-walk between two buildings. This will apparently 'get her noticed' and instantly reward her with a recording contract.
And what do you know? It works! Hey, who are you to question this bizarre logic? If Kim Kardashian can become a sensation overnight on account of one sex tape, what's to stop a vocalist from hitting the big time by making a public spectacle of herself (no professional audition required)?
Sarcasm aside though, this really is one of the daftest films I've seen for quite some time. For a dated musical, the songs aren't too bad actually; some are pretty catchy, and they stay just the right side of kitsch. The problems are the ultra-camp 80's staging of them, which is downright unintentionally hilarious when it isn't deathly dull, and the dramatic parts in-between the flamboyant performances.
Let's just say your average Aussie soap has more well-drawn characters and compelling storylines, and leave it at that.
Still, there's a lot of cats in the movie. I like cats. Not that I'm gonna bump up the score for that or anything, but just thought I'd mention it. 3/10.
