Our take
Don't Say Good Luck follows a high school musical lead facing stage dreams and turmoil at home. Dialogue includes suggestive song lyrics, mild profanity, a therapist joke in lyrics, and references to alcohol at events. Romance and performance pressure drive the story; best for teens familiar with high-school drama
Uplifting themes
Pursuing creative dreams and facing family conflict with honesty are key themes
Story (may spoil tone)
Sophie Birenbaum is ready for the spotlight as the lead in her high school musical — until she's suddenly facing more drama at home than on the stage.
