Aaron Carter, Alana Austin, David Cassidy

Like the platinum-selling sensation that plays him, J.D. McQueen (Aaron Carter) is a pop star. The livin' is easy until his grades slip, so his mom (Tracy Scoggins) puts an end to the home schooling a...( read more  read more... )nd sends him off to the local high school. Fellow student Jane Brighton (Alana Austin, who co-starred with Carter in Supercross) is his biggest fan. Unlike J.D., however, she doesn't have any luck with the opposite sex. Despite her blonde good looks, she's a straight-A student and everyone resents her for it. So imagine Jane’s surprise when J.D. takes an instant like to her. She's confused, but ecstatic. Then she starts to suspect he's more interested in her as a tutor--and friend--than a girlfriend. Popstar is a sweet-spirited, family-oriented look at the difficulties between balancing young fame and the desire to be a "normal guy." If Carter isn't quite in Austin's league as an actor, his charisma and singing talent helps to balance things out. Featuring the songs "Saturday Night," "Do You Remember," and "One Better." With former teen heartthrobs David Cassidy--channeling The Partridge Family's Reuben Kincaid--as J.D.'s manager and Leif Garrett as a proverb-spouting janitor. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
