    Alex in Wonder  (2001)

    Even though this IS one of the better next-to-zero-budget films I've watched, there are several major elements that kept this from being a much better film. The soundtrack was distracting - the film is supposed to take place in the early 70's, and there are a scant few snippets of music from the era, but the majority of the tunes sounded like new pop tunes by contemporary artists, and not terribly good ones at that. I think the script needed a little more doctoring as some of the dialogue was REALLY cheesy, but other parts of the script were touching. I would assume Angela Gots was chosen because of her dancing background, but apart from a few not-very-well-choreographed dance sequences, I think a better actress could have benefited this film immensely. Like I said, not a bad film, it just could have been better.
