Standing Ovation is a comedy that tells the story of The 5 Ovations, Brittany (Kayla Jackson), Blaze (Pilar Martin), Cameron (Kayla Raparelli), Maya (Najee Wilson), and Tatiana (Alexis Biesiada). The movie starts with the Ovations at a talent contest. A rival group, The Wiggies' father sabotages another group's performance. In the dressing room, the Ovations encounter Alanna Wannabe, a pesky little girl who wants to desperately wants to join the Ovations and the Wiggies. Once The Wiggies are finished with their performance, Ziggy Wiggs (London Clarke) bribes the stage manager to sabotage the Ovations' performance by putting pepper in their microphones, causing them to sneeze and lose the contest.
The day after, while the Ovations are at school, Cameron tells the rest of the group about CDS's Best Music Video Contest. Maya tells the group about the Wiggies' rehearsal at the school. At that point, they decide to make their video and submit it to the contest. At the Wiggies' video shoot, Maya recruits Eric Bateman (William McKenna) to assist the Ovations in making their video. At a show in a retirement home, the Ovations' manager, Joei Battalucci (Joei DeCarlo) and Brittany confront a man who has information about money stolen from an account run by Mr. Battalucci. At the show, Alanna Wannabe (Alanna Palombe) decides to make her own video. Once the Ovations arrive at the recording, they start recording a cover of River Deep, Mountain High by Tina and Ike Turner. They later watch the video with Eric and his brother. Because the Wiggies ruined their video, Joei pays the chef to put frogs in the Wiggies' soup. Joei finds the "Snuffer Guy" and books a trip to Philadelphia to find him while having Brittany, Cameron, and Maya doing a commercial. They shoot their final entry titled Scream. Later, one of the Wiggies re-edits the video.
