Alice McKinley (Alyson Stoner) has just relocated to a new town with her widowed father Ben (Luke Perry) and her seventeen year old brother Lester (Lucas Grabeel). As the only girl in an all-male household Alice envisions herself as a girl who can hold her own, yet in reality she's just another stressed out teen who excels at getting herself into awkward situations. Alice misses her mother dearly, but with the support of her family she holds out hope that she'll get by no matter what curve balls life throws her way. But lately nothing is going right for Alice. As the school musical looms on the horizon, Alice is about to learn that even the detestable Mrs. Plotkin (Penny Marshall) may have some helpful advice if the young girl can stop casting judgment long enough to listen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Over the term she made friends and had couple grown up role models. Will things keep on getting worse for her or when it gets better for her?
    Pros
    Good acting.
    Good plot.
    Really shows how it is like to grown up these days.
    It is also funny.
    Con
    Some parts were not as good as other parts.
    Sometimes lacking plot and acting.
    Here is a line from the film " do you ever like every time you turn around, your life is being flipped upside down? "
    If u likes clicking flick, tearing jerker or good family film, you should give this a try.

    Underwhelming. I really only watched it because the Alice books were a seminal part of my childhood. The film is pretty faithful to what I remember, but there lacks a certain energy. The to-the-camera narration kind of takes Alice out of the tragedy of her life and makes it al... read morel seem comical. Alyson Stoner and Luke Perry are quite good in the climactic scene though.
