The American Mall – MTV’s Answer to High School Musical

MTV is looking to follow in the path of Disney’s mega-successful “High School Musical” with a musical movie of their own: “The American Mall”. This time around you can ditch the textbooks, lockers, and class bells for shopping, food courts, and rent-a-cops.

“The American Mall”, starring Nina Dobrev, Rob Mayes, and Autumn Reeser, is set to premiere on MTV this Monday, August 11th at 9pm followed by its DVD and soundtrack release the next day, August 12th.

The American Mall plot:

Set in the kind of mall that’s always been a home away from home for teens everywhere, 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.
