This film is much more than it first appears. On the surface it looks like another stupid teen movie and perhaps in some ways it is, but it also is very true to life. Having spent time around musicians in the local music scene I have seen almost every level of depth and shallowness one could see and this film shows it true to life.
The fact that it shows it from the teenager Andrea'a point of view makes it even better. She has these moments when we peek into her thoughts, we see her in the shallow times mixed with being deeply profound, and how they switch back and forth.
The film's narrative perspective is probably its saving grace, it endears you to Andrea, showing you all of her inner and outer struggles. Definitely much more than it seems.
