Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGrace states only five women over 40 have had number one singles, and only one who is African American: at the time of filming these were Sia (aged 40), Madonna (42), Bette Midler (43), Cher (52), and Tina Turner (44). However, Aretha Franklin (45) also hit number one, albeit on a duet with George Michael, meaning technically two African American singers had achieved the feat. By the time the film was released Mariah Carey (49) had also added to this number. In addition, at the time of filming Sia was the most recent artist to achieve a number one aged over 40. She has worked extensively with both Greg Kurstin, who wrote and produced songs for the soundtrack of this movie, and Diplo, who has a small role in the film as producer R Dubs.
- GoofsWhen Maggie & her father are talking in his radio station shack, the album he is holding changes from Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" to Nina Simone's "I Put a Spell on You".
- Quotes
Jack Robertson: Maggie. Maggie! Come here. I don't know what planet you come from where rattling off every little opinion that's rolling around in that brain of yours is considered a skill.

Featured review
A moving insight into the business, if a little incoherent
This move suffered a little from too many ideas squeezed into a movie length production. Sometimes it feels a bit like Coyote Ugly, when it's not trying to be Devil Wears Pravda.
The overall arc would've felt better placed as a tv series with much more room to add the character development and little touches this moving story deserves.
That being said I completely enjoyed my time in this world with some very strong performances and touches of humour. Tracee Ellis Ross is simply brilliant and Dakota Johnson does a great job at keeping you routing for her character, even when she gets it wrong.
