The picture stars Didi Conn, Stephen Nathan and Michael Zaslow, and follows a girl named Laurie (Conn), who wants to be a singer. Soon, she finds herself pressed by young friends to sing and her father, who wants her to be a comic.

The film was widely panned by critics, garnering a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Some cited Didi Conn's sensitive portrayal and the title song as its most worthwhile features.
