What Stargirl is
A 2020 teen dramedy tries too hard to be *The Breakfast Club*, only with ukuleles. A meek high schooler falls for the school’s eccentric new girl, who drags them into improbable concerts and existential hallway epiphanies. The result is oddly earnest, like a pep rally for kids who skipped theirs.
