More cable fare from Hilary Duff, Raise Your Voice essentially spends its entire running time trying to convince Duff of her wonderful singing abilities. She plays a sweet-natured teen who loves to belt it out with her school choir until a series of orchestrated tragedies and plot complications strips her of love for music. For the rest of the film, everyone but her domineering father (wildly overplayed by David Keith) does their best to revive her songbird spirit.
