Um not accurateThis is not what speech and debate is at all. In fact, during our speech and debate tournament at state, we spent the entire time in our hotel rooms making fun about how inaccurate this movie was.Score: 1/5

DisappointmentThis power tagged film is more appealing to drama enthusiasts than to speech and debaters. i wouldnt even recommend it to the average high schooler. Their is little to no character development. the film was not created by or for debaters. The story is rushed with no actual conclusion. Two of the students never actually reach a climax in their story arch. if you can find it on tv watch it once but dont spend any money. I ignored the comments and wished i hadn’t..Score: 1/5

A review from a speech kidI saw a trailer for this movie and i had high hopes, then i turned it on and wanted to throw up. from the inaccurate display of what speech is, to the complete idiocy of the characters... this movie is a flop. don't waste your money on watching this movie..Score: 1/5

DazzlingThis is a joyous,infectiously funny look at what it's like to come out when you're different than everybody else. It's also about friendship - the interplay between the three young leads is warm, hilarious, moving, and seems completely relaxed and genuine. Mix in political and social commentary about censorship disguised as propriety with over-the-top singing and brilliantly bad lyrics delivered all out by the wonderful newcomer Sarah Steele, and you've got a winner. It all comes together in a perfect finale that still has me grinning..Score: 5/5
