Fame

Last Friday I saw Fame, a little late with the review but I spent all Saturday putting together my new TV and Blu-Ray, then watching it the rest of the weekend!

Directed by Kevin Tancharoen, starring Kay Panabaker, Naturi Naughton, Keringhton Payne and Walter Perez.

It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good. The acting was fine, the script was a little weak, but the main problem I never really got to know any characters. I didn’t care if they dropped out, failed or succeeded making the whole experience empty and void of emotion.
The jam in the cafeteria being the standout scene, the two songs performed by Naughton, a solo and a hip hop group song were very good, she has a superb voice. The cast wasn’t a problem and they all performed their talents with ease and the film showcased them all very well.

But in the end it was a wasted opportunity with the odd flash of story and a showcase of some future talents in the young cast, but that alone wasn’t enough to make an engaging movie.

(5/10 – Average)
