Caleb D A very realist and disarmingly relatable movie, in spite of a few cringe moments. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Shari F As 100% card carrying stuck in the 80s gen Xer it should be no surprise that I adore this film! I was just 10 when it came out but I remember desperately wanting to see it in the theater. I was an indulged only child who saw a lot of movies I should not have, alas this was not one had to wait till I was about 13 to finally get my hands upon it on VHS. Let's start with the unbe-freakin-lievable soundtrack which is the main reason I wanted to see it in the theater so much. The title song was just one monster hit that had me dancing in my bedroom. Irene Cara sings the H E double hockey sticks out of the aforementioned theme song. She also bings complexity and relatability to her character Coco. She Is a aspiring young dancer/actor who makes numerous sacrifices to get into an make it through 4 years at a extremely competitive New York Performing Arts High School. The movie follows Coco and several other students through their audition at the school all the way through graduation. The students were all played by virtual unknowns at the time including Cara ( who went on a few years later to record What A Feeling a huge hit from another 80s classic FlashDance) All of them shine but the other absolute scene stealer is Gene Anthony Ray as Leroy an incredible dancer who through sheer talent and dumb luck breezes his way through auditions an into the school. Ray is one of the most amazing dancers I have ever seen on any stage or screen just his dance scenes all are worth watching this movie. The writing, the choreography, and seamless blend of drama and musical make this a can't miss watch. Especially for 80s and teen Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Ionela C Absolutely beautiful. Well done Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Allen H Should be watched again after a few years Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/23 Full Review Lanfranco C Watching it again after many years it looks like "aged" Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Chris C "Fame" is moronic on every level. It contains an assortment unlikeable characters dealing with "real problems" of their own making. Nonetheless, they have time to break into tiresome song-and-dance numbers whenever the mood strikes them. Life is tough. However, as the characters in Fame illustrate, life is tougher when you're stupid. That was 133 minutes of my life that I never got back. Take a pass on Fame.
