Summary

Are celebrities human beings who deserve basic respect and human dignity? Of course not, you're thinking, they're scum and deserve everything bad that happens to them and more. But to that I say: watch the Disney Channel Original Movie Starstruck. You might learn a thing or two.

Starstruck follows the adventures of Jessica, a girl with no hobbies or interests who goes to Los Angeles to visit her grandmother and ends up being violently abducted by teen singing sensation Christopher Wilde. So far, so Hollywood. But before long, Jessica realises that Christopher isn't the unfeeling monster she thought he was, and starts to fall for this sunglass-centric singer. Can Jessica and Christopher find love despite coming from two different worlds? Can Christopher maintain a perfectly neutral reputation with the press? And does Jessica's family care *at all* about her vanishing for long stretches of time and returning with head wounds? Listen and find out!
