Morgan Carter (Jo Jo) is only seventeen years old, but she's already on top of the world. But so much fame so early in life can yield unpredictable consequences, and when Morgan is sent to the hospital with alcohol poisoning, it's clear that she isn't ready to deal with the pressures of stardom. Whisked away to rehab as the paparazzi clamors for a picture and the press predicts her downfall, Morgan is sent by her mother and concerned manager to Indiana, far away from the temptations of Hollywood. Once there, the troubled starlet reluctantly starts to reconnect with her quirky Aunt Trudy (Valerie Bertinelli), who offers just the kind of unconditional support that the young girl needs to get her life - and career - back on track. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Mildly entertaining fluff. Not really a movie of substance, but sometimes you are in the mood for a movie that is sure to have a happy ending. This movie delivers on that.

    Pretty good. Really good Lifetime movie. Mostly all the Lifetime movie's about bad teens or anything teenagerish at all are good. Great movie.

    Good movie about true friendship and love. Add a little romance, a little drinking, and a lot of baking!
