The cast are seasoned actors and everyone plays their part well. The problem with the film is that once you get over the fact of the bad singing, there is not much there to hold attention. What is more interesting is that this is a true story and an extremely strange one. Foster-Jenkins and all the people who play major roles in the film are part of her story and can be seen on the pages of Wikipedia along with Foster-Jenkins`s life story.What I took away from the film was that enough money can can buy you fame, even without talent.
