Avril Lavigne has shared a fantastic, faithful cover of Alanis Morissette’s Ironic.

The Ontario pop-punk princess has tackled fellow Canadian Alanis’ classic Jagged Little Pill anthem as part of the soundtrack to new romcom Mile End Kicks, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last year but will come out theatrically in the Great White North this Friday, April 17.

As per Sumerian Pictures, a synopsis reads: “A 24-year-old music critic gets romantically involved with members of an indie band she decides to publicise, set against Montreal’s indie music scene in 2011.

“Based in part on Chandler Levack’s own young adulthood prior to becoming a professional music critic and filmmaker, the film stars Barbie Ferreira as Grace Pine, a young woman who moves to Montreal, Quebec, with the goal of writing a book about Alanis Morissette’s album Jagged Little Pill but instead becomes romantically involved with Archi (Devon Bostick) and Chevy (Stanley Simons), two members of the aspiring indie rock band Bone Patrol, and takes a job as the band’s publicist.”
