In Alan Parker's FAME, teenagers selected for New York City's High School for the Performing Arts push their talents to the limit to make it big in show business. This episodic tale follows savvy Coco (Irene Cara), timid Doris (Maureen Teefy), gay Montgomery (Paul McCrane), macho Raul (Barry Miller), soulful Bruno (Lee Curreri), and others as they struggle to achieve their dreams of stardom while coping with the universal teenage problems of loneliness, insecurity, and embattled, mercurial identity. Cara, electric as the budding songstress Coco, shines brightest in the infectiously exuberan... t young cast. The film, which won Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, overflows at each corner of its loosely unfolding narrative with inspired music and dance numbers that seem to burst forth spontaneously out of sheer irrepressible emotion. With FAME (later developed into a hit television series), Parker finds a happy medium between the wildly diverging tones of his previous two features, the goofy kids-as-gangsters musical BUGSY MALONE and the harrowing prison thriller MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, and in doing so creates an enjoyable, glittering portrait of guileless teenage ambition.

Shame about the Swearing
Was disappointed with this film due to the fact that I could not show it to my girls 4 and 7yrs old.
It was rated at PG but there was too much swearing for children.
I'm gonna learn how to fly!
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).

Just like the original, this remake focuses on the lives of quite a lot of students, yet at no point does it give you the opportunity to relate to or emphasise with any of them- it seems to just skim the surface with each character, so that by the end you dont feel like you know any of them at all and you couldn't really care less if they do well or not. The songs are ok-ish, very blah with church choir voices with no 'rough' to them (apart from maybe one) and the dances are completely forgettable- not even the final dance is remotely exciting or inspirational. [SPOILER]
In fact, the only thing they did right was get rid of that blonde dance hussy halfway through
. Meh, only watch it if you've nowt better to do. 2/5
