This is one of my favorite movies, EVER! Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland are my favorite actor and actress. This movie is about Jimmy Connors (Mickey Rooney) and his high school friends starting a high school orchestra and raising money to go Chicago to perform for Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra. I love this movie because it’s fun, but, it also teaches values. This is a great movie also because, even though it’s about highschoolers, there is a lot of respect for the parents. This is a wonderful movie for entertainment that is full of music and Judy’s singing!  And Rooney shows off his talent with the drums! 
I will give this five stars out of five.
