A reinvention of the original Oscar®-winning hit film.

Fame follows a talented group of dancers, singers, actors, and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts. A diverse, creative powerhouse where students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame…the kind that comes only from talent, dedication, and hard work. In an incredibly competitive atmosphere, plagued by self-doubt, each student’s passion will be put to the test. In addition to their artistic goals, they have to deal with everything else that goes along with high school, a tumultuous time full of schoolwork, deep friendships, budding romance, and self-discovery. As each student strives for his or her moment in the spotlight, they’ll discover who among them has the talent and necessary discipline to succeed. With the love and support of their friends and fellow artists, they’ll find out who amongst them will achieve Fame. (source)

I’m always eager to watch this kind of movies. Most of them don’t have strong story but they are very entertaining. Fame certainly does that, it’s entertainment from the beginning till the end. Nice dance moves and songs that make you move.

We meet the characters during the introduction as they audition for a spot in the highly sought-after academy, each one of them showing their skills. From there we go from one rhythmic piece to another, with the highlight coming from a Halloween party in the middle of the movie. The gigantic finale doesn’t quite reach the heights it should compared to the other dance/singing pieces.
Every film needs a plot and characters but this is where Fame’s failings become quite evident. The cast is simply too big, there are to many characters, you don’t have enough time to get to know all of them, I had difficulty figuring out who was who again.When you start to like someone they disappear for 30 minutes whilst we see the other stories unfold.

If you watch this film,  expect a collection of amazing dance numbers and you will be a satisfied customer.
