A recently unemployed father resorts to desperate measures to get his insecure daughter on a TV show and a chance for stardom. He kidnaps a pop star singer and blackmails her manager. There are just enough real moments between the main characters to make up for the downright strange behavior, and bad singing, otherwise on display. The song "Lucky Manuelo" may stick in your head for weeks afterwards!
