Summary
"I want a band. I want amplifiers. I want, I want, I want."
It's Jackie Mullins' world, and we're merely the audience waiting for her to rock it. Before Gillian Armstrong gave us LITTLE WOMEN in the 1990s, she gave us a blue-collar music film about a teenage girl with big dreams to be a star. One of the most Harmony-coded movies ever made, The Wives Colangelo are ready to bring the prom party into the candy-coated jubilee of STARSTRUCK.
