Nelli is a girl from a very rich family. She used to get everything she wants. <br/><br/>Nelli&#39;s parents want her to study and go to medical school but she decides different: she wants to make a record of r&#39;n&#39;b music. Nelli meets Sune, a DJ from a rap band K?rkiryhm?. These to come from very different worlds and live very different lives.<br/><br/>Together Nelli and Sune start making a demo for Nelli to send to record companies. In their way they meet difficulties in relationships and in love.<br/><br/>This was a really sweet movie about Nelli who tries to find her way through life, but it is difficult with people telling you what you want and what you should do.

The film depicts music industry as seen from the rap/r&amp;b side through the co-operation of a &quot;reluctant&quot; bad-boy rapper and an &quot;ambitious&quot; uptown girl. Its clear precursor has been &quot;8 Mile&quot; by Curtis Hanson, but whereas that film had craziness, love, lust, violence etc., this one has maybe only weariness on the platter, judging from the views of Helsinki&#39;s East End railway backyards that we see.<br/><br/>The acting is juvenile. Since the main couple (very unlike Murphy/Eminem) are frozen in their roles, sidekicks who &quot;assist&quot; the main rapper score the few laughs and points for male bonding. They represent the kind of chauvinism that the protagonist should represent to be taken seriously as a rapper. He is no Flavor Flav, not even a chav. Since the Finnish way of life is the real backdrop, this love story could have been set to any other genre of pop; 80s synth, Eurodisco, heavy metal or folk, or in the public library, for that matter.<br/><br/>Some Finnish cultural personalities such as Anna-Leena H?rk?nen (author/actress/columnist) throw unimpressive minor side roles to the main story, but their impact could have been much bigger (sexy seduction etc.), unless they were in it just for the money.<br/><br/>The title of the film (&#39;Girl, You&#39;re a *Star&#39;) comes from the eponymous 1997 recording by Finnish rock&#39;s former infant terrible, Kauko R?yhk?, which was a minor hit on the radio at the time.

I found this actually one of the first decent movies in Finland, it is a story about a crude rap music producer and a girl from a good rich family. By different reasons they end up working together, both trying to achieve what they need, and pull trough with their friends and family. Movie has lot of situation comic, it is catchy and interesting to follow from the beginning to the end. Some nice romance in it too, but without spoiling it with too much mushiness. Actors manage to perform quite naturally and lot of the movie feels like it could easily be from everyday life - with touch of naiveness though. It had one very obscure scene, and some unnecessary effects stuffed in out of the blue, but overall I was quite impressed.
