Watched online, blurry copy.
49 songs in the Soundtracks; at least 1 performed in part by a cast member (RZ, although she's not credited on SugarHigh).
3rd film for LT. 6th film for RZ. They're both pretty far down the cast list (not what you see here), and are prominent in the story, especially LT.
I wouldn't choose to watch this, but it was tagged music b/c it's all about a music store. It does have a good story with lots of characters in crisis and coming through fairly well, all to change their lives for the better. A little gritty, then a little too cute. But after watching other truly gruesome stuff earlier today, cute was welcome.
BTW, didn't read the trivia to see if anyone had a bris during the shoot (see director's name).
