‘Brave New Girl’ Reaches For The Stars And Falls Way Short

Tom Jicha of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel previewed this Sunday’s ‘Brave New Girl’ movie that airs on ABC Family Channel. Jicha said of the film based on Lynne and Britney Spears’ book ‘A Mother’s Gift’: “Little Golden Books have more complex plots than ‘Brave New Girl’. A small-town teen with a big voice aspires to be an entertainer. Her lifelong dream is to hone her talents at a prestigious musical school. She’s finally accepted under fairy-tale circumstances, only to be shunned by snooty students as well as professors appalled at her lack of formal music training. In the end, she shows them all.”
