Plot

The story introduces Ally, a musically gifted girl whose mom runs the malls music shop. She and her mom are in debt, barely able to pay the rent. Every night Ally goes to the mall and plays the mall piano, trying to finish a particular song she has been trying to finish since she was little. She starts singing (Clear), and then mysterious male voice sings new words as she is playing along.

Overview

Produced by the same team behind Disney's "High School Musical" film series, "The American Mall" is conceptually very similar, as it focuses on several teenage characters and their daily struggles, with comic elements and musical numbers. The central plot thread of the film is that the two main characters, Ally and Joey, are musically talented but face many personal obstacles to attaining success. The teenage characters are all mall employees- Ally works at her mother's music shop, and Joey and his friends work on the night custodial staff.

The movie was filmed in Provo, Utah at the Provo Town Center mall.

The song "Get Your Rock On" was released as Rock Band DLC on August 19, 2008. [http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71332 ]
