If you are looking for a great feel-good movie without the typical corny kid stuff or unrealistic fairy tales, then this may just be the movie for you. The main character, driven by the almost child-like faith that he can achieve his goal to not only get his music heard by the idols of his youth, but make a feature film about his pursuit. This movie has you believing in the long forgotten American Dream again, Jersey Style. Chris Vaughn takes the audience along for the ride while he pursues his dream, encountering many characters unique to the Jersey Shore experience. I should add that I watched it twice with my family and liked it more the second time. My first viewing I rated it a 7 out of ten, but after the second viewing I must give it an 8. I added two bonus stars for an even ten, for each time I watch the film.

This movie has it all, the ups and downs. At one moment it seems as if everything is going right and success is inevitable until another set back. His inner perseverance and determination along with friends and family has him chasing a dream which he will not be denied. This is something we all have in us and Chris brings it out. Chris Vaughn is a risk taker and who is always upbeat and funny through a ton of negative situations. This is a microcosm of life in which nothing is guaranteed but through hard work, support and an inner belief the journey can be accomplished. This movie will have you on your seat the entire time it has comedy, obstacles and roller coaster ride from start to finish.
If you dream it ... do it!

The movie was excellent! Chris is following his dream, and as you watch you'll see how friends, family, and people he meets on this journey are cheering for him. He's a talented guy, friendly, faithful and family oriented. His music is meaningful. Things get tough, but it seems to make him more determined. You'll laugh along with the funny times, and feel his struggles as they relate to the struggles we all face. You're in for some unexpected things, but unexpected and Chris seem to go together. It's a movie that you don't want to miss a minute of, because you just don't know what will happen next. I can honestly say that I think most people would enjoy it ... so go make yourself happy and enjoy the movie!
