Renee Zellweger stars in this approximate remake of a 1956 rock & roll comedy that featured Fats Domino and Joe Turner in concert, and starred Mike Connors, Sterling Holloway, and Margaret Dumont in a story about killjoy adults trying to ban a teen-dance television show. Zellweger's 1994 update, made as part of Showtime Cable's Rebel Highway series, is similarly set during rock's late-'50s primordial beginnings and costars Nora Dunn, Mary Woronov, and P.J. Soles as uptight citizens putting the squeeze on a dance show hosted by a chipper hipster (Howie Mandel). (official distributor synopsis)
