Critic's review of A Chorus Line
View all critics' reviews (3)
- Overpraised musical drama which took nine years to reach the screen because nobody could figure out how to 'open it up', despite Universal's payment of 5.5 million dollars for the rights. The present team has not solved the problem.

  Fabulous!
  
  Loved this film - the premise is interesting, and not something you'd normally see on film, and Michael Douglas as the director is great.

  An insight into life backstage..
  
  Thoroughly enjoyable film. The characters were believable and the dancing amazing!
  
  A bit 'soapy' in places but worth working through.
