Like attending a talent show or sitting through a beauty pageant without having your own kid to root for, Standing Ovation](Standing Ovation (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) comes off like a pre-teen parade financed by friends, family and James Brolin, and begging to be graded on a curve for the sheer effort of its song-and-dance stylings. The sad truth is that Standing Ovation deserves the opposite treatment of its title – it’s all broad mugging and braces, generic songs and goofy slapstick sequences that leave one wistful for the cable-level adequacy of Disney Channel’s High School Musical films.
