Fame (2009)

I broke down and went to see "Fame" with my daughter on Saturday. It was a pretty good movie. If you are a fan of the original movie or television series you will be disappointed with this rendition. The original movie had more of a plot and we got to see more of the families of the students attending the Performing Arts school. The new movie feels like it was made by the folks at VH1 or MTV. It was a bunch of music videos run to fill the two hours. It will cash in with the "High School Musical" crowd however. It was fun and the music was really good. If you want a movie with more substance see the original. If you want more like this movie, watch "Flashdance." If I had to give it stars I would give it two out of four. A pleasant movie that didn't make you think too much.

The Old Lady Recommends: Original "Fame" movie, "Showboat", any Andy Hardy movies.
