Rising Stars (2010)
5/10
The Instigator
27 September 2013
Rising Stars is a decent enough family film with some young people auditioning to appear on a reality TV show concerning the making of music videos. Fisher Stevens is the producer of the show and he selects three teams of artists and film makers.

Stevens is looking for ratings and he deliberately instigates rivalry and strife between the teams. One of the kids who is a film maker is Graham Patrick Martin who is best known for being the gay kid on Major Crimes is full of himself and he's doing enough on his own. But when possessions are destroyed eventually the kids realize how they're being exploited. They form a united front and triumph.

Stevens is a Snidely Whiplash like villain and kind of fun to watch. Barry Corbin plays a janitor who proves to be a mentor and adviser to young Kyle Riabko who comes from a white trash background.

Rising Stars is a good family oriented film with some nice music played a talented cast.
