Don’t forget about Neil Haskell in THE AMERICAN MALL Tonight

The OC’s Autumn Reeser and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE’s Neil Haskell may not be the leads in THE AMERICAN MALL which premieres tonight on MTV but they are two of the main reasons that I’ll be tuning in…and you should too.

THE AMERICAN MALL is the story of Ally, a hardworking young woman whose mother has owned a music shop that’s been the soul of the mall ever since it opened when Ally was a kid. Ally’s singer/songwriter dreams seem to come closer to fruition when she meets Joey, a musician who’s moonlighting as a janitor at the mall in order to support his own rock star ambitions. While Joey understands her songs (and heart) like no one else, Ally’s happiness and the fate of the music store are threatened when the mall owner’s spoiled daughter Madison – who will stop at nothing to get what she wants – becomes involved.

I haven’t had a chance to see this yet, but it seems like HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL…you know, without all the guilt. And I know this is personal preference but I’ll take Neil Haskell over Zac Efron any day of the week.

So tune into MTV tonight at 9pm and check out THE AMERICAN MALL.

Thanks to GMMR reader Kat for the reminder.
