Oh gosh, my all time favorite movie...??
That's really really hard to answer because it seems I have monthly favorites.
Okay. This is gonna be embarrassing but a movie I really can never get tired of:
Ironically enough
*drumroll*
Grace Unplugged hahahahahha
I don't know why but I just love this coming of age movie.
Basically it's about this girl, Grace who is the daughter of a one hit wonder turned music pastor.
One day his old manager comes back to say that his one hit wonder has made a comeback and Sapphire Music (record company) wants to give him a job as long as he plays Misunderstood at every concert, but Johnny declines
So Grace covers Misunderstood instead and gets flown out to LA to live out what she thought was her dream (being a popstar and being famous)
But she doesn't realize the stress and pain that goes into stardom as Johnny said, "Oh you are not ready for this"
She eventually meets a guy named Quentin who is interning at Sapphire Music and he helps her come to the realization (over the course of the movie) that her dad isn't the bad guy, and that it isn't her against the world, but instead he thinks that she is fighting God
Grace bails from Hollywood and returns back home to Alabama and sings a heartfelt song titled "All I've ever needed" and it makes me cry my eyes out every time
Even though I did not grow up in a religious household, the father daughter dynamic is very realistic and the denouement at the end is so so touching
Plus the soundtrack, especially Misunderstood and All I've ever needed, is actually really good:-)
