Junior high outcast Spork has trouble fitting in anywhere. But after befriending her neighbor Tootsie Roll, Spork enters the school's dance showcase.

Never judge a book by it's cover. Spork was a well played movie. Netflix suggested this after I shamelessly watched Superstar for fun. Because they both had to do with dancing and school? Well, Spork (clever nickname) defiantly was about this topic, but they leave out the fact that the main character, named Spork was a trans-gender underdog who lived in a trailer park with he grungy older brother. This would have been good information to have to relive the shock of this part in the story.

That being said, this did not make or break the story. It is about Spork (Savannah Stehlin) and her life as a middle-school(?) teenager. And as odd as it seems when you are watching this, including scenes with "Tootsi-Roll" (Sydney Park) dancing in the club, this movie was actually enjoyable. I didn't loose interest in the story and wanted to see where it was going.

There is also the strangeness of how the "mean girls" all have these sped up munchkin voices, Charlie (Michael William Arnold) who is a confused boy with "Gay Dads" and wants to get into Spork's pants. But again this all ties together and just makes this movie interesting to watch. And let's not forget Chunk who's one stoned line helps Spork grow as a person.

Great character building in it, and the names make them fun to love/hate as well. With names like Betsy Byotch (Rachel G. Fox) and Loosie Goosie (Oana Gregory) makes you rethink about teenagers now a days. You even have some fun recognizing people like Michael William Arnold who is the kid in so many late-night show pranks (like Conan) and also you get a glimpse of Keith David who is a secondary character & voice over in so many things (did anyone see The Cape?!)

I have to put this movie on a recommended list as it does have a deserving chance to entertain you.
