Fame

[Podrick]

What a disapointment. A truly tedious film.

And you were expecting...?!

Every time I see the ad I get all excited and want to do Fame jumps (sure there's a technical term for those) in my legwarmers, singing 'Starmaker'

I am definitely not going to see this at the flicks but am inspired to buy the original movie and reminisce.

I was expecting some fun fashion, gorgeous actors and plenty of singing and dancing

Not good then?

Had been wondringg about it and whether it would be suitable for a musical obsessed 7y DD.

it was high school musical. it was truly pants.

Ah - so maybe more suited to the younger children perhaps then???

I would have no problems letting a 7 year old watch it. There are none of the harder hitting elements fame was renowned for- abortion, homosexuality, lack of previous education, drugs etc
I think the worst is when one character gets ripped off for a lot of money and a different character has someone trying to kiss her when she doesn;t want it, oh and controlling parents and doing stuff behind their back.

Some of the dance moves are a little raunchy, but nothing offensive.

Well I think any kid would be bored rigid. This wins my worst film of the year award and I regret wasting my 10 year old's time on it

Hmmm - maybe one to leave til it comes on Sky then.

Film would be even less suitable for youngr chldren, hulababy...hardl any singing and dancing, just shite drama. You will feel guilty about taking your dd, not exactly a treat

It is frankly beyond me how a film about performng arts students could be dull. All involved should be banes from making any more films.

It was truly dire wasn't it?

Sorry, just the idea of a remake of Fame instantly says 'Pants' to me, which is why I made that remark in my first post. Pity you wasted your time and money - why don'tcha just get out a DVD of the original and dance the hours away?

I have never seen the original film and I don' t want to now as I am still cross about how useless the remake was - it is the tv series that I really enjoyed as a child!

Ohhh, yeah - the TV series rocks! I'm sure that must be available on DVD! - will let you know if I find it!

went to see Fame at the weekend with quite high hopes.... was soooooo disappointed !

How can it be that boring .. Id rather sit through ten showings of HSM than watch that again ...
