Fame (2009)

REVIEW 1:
THE FATHER AGE 38.
I wanted to see ZOMBIELAND, but on a rainy Autumn afternoon, I could not get my 11 (almost 12 ) year old daughter in to see that so I was left with no other option...honest!
I never really thought much of the 1980 version of fFame, so why would I enjoy this? Infact this film was entertaining enough, the script was predictable at best, but with a pretty good cast and enough song and dance sequences, it bubbled along for it's running time, I would not say I was over impressed but there are allot worse things to do on a rainy afternoon, and at least there was no corny dancing in the streets and the rancid Star Maker song in the film. I would have rather seen Zombieland but it was OK!
REVIEW 2:
THE DAUGHTER AGE 11 (Almost 12)
I thought it was great, it's allot fresher than the original, and although I love the High School Musical movies, the grit of Fame was refreshing, if you like Step Up and it's sequel you'll love this.

I even caught my Dad tapping his feet to the Sam Sparrow track Back and Gold. I understand the other reviews, but i really think this updated version is aimed at the teenage market, and not them that grew up with the original movie and the TV series, including the albums and Leg warmers, those who cherrished the 80's version are in for a wake up call, as it may be Fame by name but it's not fame by nature!
