“Kat And The Beat” (**1/2 out of four) was a likeable and engaging teen comedy about a rock ‘n’ roll loving high-schooler (Ella Hunt) who tricks her way into managing a struggling rock band by telling them she is experienced and in her 20’s but this leads to lots of complications and surprises when she turns out to be a terrific manager and helps the band take off. Bouncy story is directed with a nice screwball sense of humor by E.E. Hegarty and enhanced by Hunt’s fun and believable performance although it starts to wear thin after a while and becomes protracted. In musicology, this is the equivalent of a danceable fluffy pop single that is a tad overblown.
