Stargirl is directed by Julia Hart from a screenplay by Kristin Hahn and Julia Hart & Jordan Horowitz based on the novel by Jerry Spinelli. After the show, she signed a recording deal with Columbia Records, releasing Perfectly Imperfect EP in 2016, Just the Beginning LP in 2017, and another EP, Letters Vol. Grace was 12 years old when she appeared on AGT, charming audiences with her quirky original music. A celebration of individuality, kindness and the power of the human spirit. Her eccentricities and infectious personality charm Leo and the student body, and she quickly goes from being ignored and ridiculed to accepted and praised, then back again, sending Leo on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. She is kind, finds magic in the mundane and touches the lives of others with the simplest of gestures. But all that changes when he meets Stargirl Caraway ( Grace VanderWaal), a confident and colorful new student with a penchant for the ukulele, who stands out in a crowd. He gets decent grades, is a member of the school’s marching band and has always been content flying under the radar. After everyone in school turns on her and her attempt at being normal and popular backfires, she leaves! Sometimes the happiest ending is to GTFO.Leo Borlock ( Graham Verchere) is an average student at Mica High School. In both the book and the movie, Stargirl and Leo do not end up together, which is kind of radical for a YA romance. Disney just had to give the big moment to the boy. In the movie, Stargirl arranges for Leo to sing in front of the school instead. Then Hillari slaps her and Stargirl leaves, never to be seen again.
The school dance is totally different.Īt the end of the book, Stargirl leads the school in “The Bunny Hop” (random). You can’t get anything past me, movie! I see your tricks. In the movie, she makes that decision in the middle of the speech competition.which I guess is more dramatic because she can put that realization into her speech. Stargirl puts a bizarrely academic effort into becoming popular in order to get back into everyone’s good graces but decides it isn’t worth it when she wins the speech competition and, still, nobody cares. Maybe she’s a little jealous of Stargirl’s individuality too. Hillari does hate Stargirl, but it’s because she thinks she’s being weird just for attention and therefore fake. In the book, the boy whose bike Stargirl returns is not Hillari’s brother and it’s not that big of a deal. The movie combines Hillari’s distrust of Stargirl with one of her good deeds. Since Grace VanderWaal is basically known for playing the ukelele, she was the perfect choice for this heroine.ĭale Robinette Disney The bike incident is less intense in the book. Stargirl is all about paying it forward with good deeds and enjoys serenading people on her birthday. That low-key creepy “Happy Birthday” scene? Absolutely in the book, although Leo is not her first victim. She cheers for both teams at sporting events always, not just when a player on the other side is injured.
#LOVE STARGIRL MOVIE TRAILER FULL#
The Disney+ movie seemed to settle on one puffy-sleeve aesthetic for Stargirl, but in the book, she comes to school in full historical garb and brings her pet rat, Cinnamon, with her to class. Specifically, when it comes to her clothes. Here are some other differences and similarities to note. I don’t want to age myself by admitting how jarring that was. It’s also set in 2020 instead of 2000, so there’s, like, texting and selfies. In the book, the students really shun her, and I felt that when I read it. There are some small cuts to characters from the book, like Leo’s friend Kevin and Stargirl’s ally Dori Dilson, and I personally don’t think the school is as mean to Stargirl in the movie as they are in the book (which is probably a good thing).
