This one took a little while for me to really get into, all about this group of girls (and one boy) starting a jazz band. There are a lot of characters to keep track of, and their names are hardly ever spoken, which makes it trickier to track who is who. But it settles into a nice, entertaining groove toward the end and finishes with a nice mix of silly and sentimental, along with a really fun final musical number.
