25 songs in the Soundtracks. The cast all do their own performing, except SP.
SP only appears in the imitation vintage music video, but his moves absolutely invoke George Michael for me.
Sweet, funny film with charming leads and good support. The plot was fun and gave a great platform for the love story.
Rated 6.5 (89,980)
