No Place to Go 

A trio of girls form a band and enter a singing competition together after learning they work best as a team.

As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes.
