Dare to dream.

Comedy

Orphan Mary Katherine Gallagher, an ugly duckling at St. Monica High School, has a dream: to be kissed soulfully. She decides she can realize this dream if she becomes a superstar, so her prayers, her fantasies and her conversations with her only friend focus on achieving super-stardom.

VIBE

A painfully earnest and awkward journey through adolescent dreams. It's a cringey but ultimately sweet look at a girl's quest for self-discovery and a soul-kiss. Perfect for a nostalgic, feel-good watch.
