I'm gonna learn how to fly!
By hannahg (11 reviews) from UK , 09 Jan 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Where else could you leave school at lunchtime in dance gear and stop the traffic on 42nd Street so that you could perform impromptu dance routines on top of New York taxis? I so wanted to be in Fame! But sadly having no discernable talent, I instead became a GP. Ah well, a girl can still dream and I have the legwarmers to prove it. A classic 80's film, if you cannot identify with any of the above then please at least watch it so that you can laugh at the 80's 'fashion' (and not to mention Dr Ramano off ER when he had hair, a ginger afro no less).- Was this review helpful to you?

(51)worth a watch
By TheTalentedMsRipley (3 reviews) , 03 May 2013There are lots of positives to this film - catchy songs, interesting characters, dark elements. Just somewhat suffers from a lack of plot. It felt like we just happened to be following these kids through 4 years of their lives, but there was no overriding story arc. It didn't stop me from enjoying it, but it did stop me scoring it higher.- Was this review helpful to you?

The original and best
By KcAndLola (38 reviews) , 25 Jan 2013A film you have to concentrate on to follow, but its well worth your concentration. Not quite as dark in parts as the stage version but I really love the music and the characters are interesting. Demonstrates nicely that fame is not all about glitz and glamour and fancy parties.- Was this review helpful to you?

Too many characters ...
By DD from London , 31 Jul 2011Too many characters are involved over too long a time for any of them to be explored in depth. The truth is that this is an uneven film. The early use of quick cutting from one sub-story to another - American Graffiti style - later gives way to allowing the sub-stories a bit more time to develop before we are diverted. This is not a bad film, however. The music is tremendous, there is great energy, and documentary style-work is used effectively. The characters may not have been developed but they are still memorable. You wish the fewer of them could have been better focussed on to better effect. Its almost as if the movie was made as a pilot for a TV series. It wasnt, but its easy to see why it became one. Like lots of others, I loved the TV show as a kid; it was great to see the characters in their first airing.- Was this review helpful to you?
