Raise Your Voice	comment	A movie which Hilary Duff made during her Lizzie McGuire phase that many believe showed her acting chops. (The scenes where her character dealt with losing her brother were surprisingly believeable.)Duff plays Terri Fletcher, her usual perky character except with occasional Wangst due to the fact that her brother Paul died in a freak car accident with Terri as a passenger. Terri is "forced" to disobey her dad because it's her destiny to go to music school in Los Angeles, where she finds the usual Stock Characters: Jay Corgan (Oliver James): Terri's English boyfriend Denise Gilmore (Dana Davis): Terri's Sassy Black roommate Engelbert "Kiwi" Wilson (Johnny Lewis): Fun Personified as a nerd Robin Childers (Lauren C. Mayhew): the Alpha Bitch Sloane (Kat Dennings): A Goth Deadpan Snarker Mr. Torvald (John Corbett): Terri's Cool TeacherYes, it's pretty much just as much a Cliché Storm as it sounds like, complete with a Concert Climax.

Raise Your Voice / int_1392fbe7	comment	Drunk Driver: On the first night of summer, Paul is killed by a drunk driver, with Terri as a passenger (although the latter's physical injuries are relatively minor). The parents, naturally, have a pretty difficult time recovering from this.

Robin's skills are higher and she's shown to have pretty good work ethic, despite being a jerkass — and unlike Terri, she actually shows up to class and doesn't have meltdowns every time she fails to do something right.

Raise Your Voice / int_83902d45	comment	Ambiguously Christian: The movie as a whole. Terri keeps a cross necklace that belonged to Paul, sings in a church choir, and is seen praying a number of times, but never talks about her faith. In addition, many of the musical numbers can be interpreted to have a religious message, and the movie was originally pitched to be explicitly faith-based.

Raise Your Voice / int_a939d96a	comment	Adults Are Useless: Played with. Terri's mother and aunt are shown to be resourceful, caring and quick-thinking when it comes to Terri's secret summer adventure, and her teachers at Bristol-Hillman all seem to know what they're doing and are genuinely invested in their students. However, Terri's father, already rigid and overly traditional, easily falls for their obvious scheme of Terri's secret enrollment in the music program. He only manages to discover the lie when he stumbles upon an invitation to the final concert — not the (likely fairly massive, considering the size of the school) tuition payment, which goes unmentioned.
