Synopsis
Standing Ovation is a comedy that tells the story of The 5 Ovations, Brittany (Kayla Jackson), Blaze (Pilar Martin), Cameron (Kayla Raparelli), Maya (Najee Wilson), and Tatiana (Alexis Biesiada) The movie starts with the Ovations at a talent contest. A rival group, The Wiggies' father sabotages another group's performance. In the dressing room, the Ovations encounter Alanna Wannabe, a pesky little girl who wants to desperately wants to join the Ovations and the Wiggies. Once The Wiggies are finished with their performance, Ziggy Wiggs (London Clarke) bribes the stage manager to sabotage the Ovations' performance by putting pepper in their microphones, causing them to sneeze and lose the contest. The day after, while the Ovations are at school, Cameron tells the rest of the group about CDS's Best Music Video Contest. Maya tells the group about the Wiggies' rehearsal at the school. At that point, they decide to make their video and submit it to the contest. At the Wiggies' video shoot, Maya recruits Eric Bateman (William McKenna) to assist the Ovations in making their video. At a show in a retirement home, the Ovations' manager, Joei Battalucci (Joei DeCarlo) and Brittany confront a man who has information about money stolen from an account run by Mr. Battalucci. At the show, Alanna Wannabe (Alanna Palombe) decides to make her own video. Once the Ovations arrive at the recording, they start recording a cover of River Deep, Mountain High by Tina and Ike Turner. They later watch the video with Eric and his brother. Because the Wiggies ruined their video, Joei pays the chef to put frogs in the Wiggies' soup. Joei finds the "Snuffer Guy" and books a trip to Philadelphia to find him while having Brittany, Cameron, and Maya doing a commercial. They shoot their final entry titled Scream. Later, one of the Wiggies re-edits the video. At school the next day, the Wiggies are admitted into the finals but the Ovations are not. Later, Tatiana calls Brittany saying that the group who was admitted instead of the Ovations has been disqualified and the Ovations are next in line for the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Alanna Wannabe was also admitted into the semi-finals. The Wiggies' plan backfires on them. While the re-edit was too comedic, the Ovations move onto the finals. While auditioning dancers for the finals, Alanna announces that she manages all the dancers. She strikes a deals with the Ovations, the dancers and Alanna join the number. At a Wiggies' party, the Ovations put fleas in the Wiggies' wigs. While the Wiggies are at the show, the Ovations and their dancers are stuck on the road due to sabotage from the Wiggies. While the Wiggies receive positive reaction from the audience, only a few people give them a standing ovation. After the Ovations' performance, they receive a standing ovation from the whole audience except Mr. and Mrs. Wiggs. Backstage, Joei tells Brittany that she found the thief that they've been chasing down. The Ovations end up winning the contest with the Wiggies in second place. When Joei and Brittany go to confront the thief, Brittany discovers that he is her father. Brittany becomes upset with Joei and Joei has an asthma attack. Brittany's father makes things right between them by buying a house for Joei, presents for the neighborhood, and hosting a party for the people in the competition.Actors
