Luckily, I had a free ticket for another theater chain, so I was able to see this in theaters (I was the only one there).
My initial interest in the film stemmed from it being filmed in Austin, where I live. The story is about a teenage, Filipino girl and her mother, both of whom are undocumented. When customs and immigration pick up Rose's mother, she escapes to Austin from Bastrop (EW). Rose dreams of being a country singer, and ends up making music with Dale Watson, who's a well known Texas Country artist.
That's basically the story, and yes, perfectible, it ends the exact way you imagine it to end. The music is good, and Eva Noblezada, the actress that plays Rose, has an amazing singing voice.
To answer the question as to what the title means - yes, it's racist, and a nickname Rose got when she initially sang at school. BTW, the myth of the 'Yellow Rose' is one from history, supposedly, a woman was sent in as a spy by the Texas army during the revolution, and she... distracted Santa Anna, the general of the Mexican army. There's no actual evidence, but it's incredibly believable.
Anyway, this was a great movie, with good music, and a tight running time.

Watch regulars bid on run-down houses that they move, flip, and sell. (0 more)
Fort Worth, Texas, real estate entrepreneurs are flipping out because of opportunities to purchase older, out-of-place homes in burgeoning neighborhoods. The structures are then moved to vacant lots and undergo complete renovations -- turning run-down dwellings into spectacular gems -- in just one week. The competition concludes at the auction block, where the flippers find out who turns the biggest profit. Who gambles and loses big? Who destroys their house mid-move? And who gets their chops busted by their annoying rivals? (From IMDb)
