Tell me.... Who never dream of becoming a star? Well, start the Auditions for School of Performing Arts but I have to let you know that there the only money you pay for success is SWEAT !
A Little bit of History.
The "P.A", nickname for the school, was created in 1948, yest that long ago, but unfortunately the last students left in 1984 date of the closure of the school. If you want the address is on West 46th Street in Time Square. A few famous people went to that school such as : Irene Cara, Al Pacino, Suzanne Pleshette, Suzanne Vega, or Liza Minelli .... and the list go on ....
As the movie filmed in 1980, the remake is split into sections: Auditions, Somophore, Junior and Senior years. The remake keep the inspiration of the original version, and even Debbie Allen ( Mrs Grat) is a cameo as the Principal of the school. The way it had been shot, by splitting it, is a good idea to keep it, however, it is difficult to identify ourselves to one in particular as we are jumping from one section to another without link.
The 2009 movie, introduce some fresh figures to our world, the soundtrack is good, even if they only kept 2 songs from the original : "Fame" and "out there on my own", the second title is interpreted by Naturi Naughton who sparkles all along the movie. Unfortunately, some of the young actor might need strong acting classes ( Asher Brook) as they might be brilliant on their specific such as Dancing or Singing, but I found the acting is not at their best.
The vocals, I have to say, are really good, and the dancers know their job ! The "Black and Gold" dancing scene is WOW !
I spent 2h watching it, and I have to admit, It was fun, nice, entertaining but it has some long scenes which could have been more elaborated or simply cut.
Download it or watch it on-line, or even better get the DVD ... If you liked the 1980 movie,you will like this remake with no doubt.
