Personally, after watching this film, I was quite disappointed. I expected much more from this film then what was presented. It lacked some focus in a certain character, which made it confusing as well as rushed. Despite some factors, the film really made me feel encouraged to persist with things I believe I can achieve, which was a positive effect that might have influenced others as well. I recommend this film for all ages but mostly teenagers who enjoy musicals.
