So I was down at my local video store buying some second hand bluray discs and there I found Fame for $5. I thought to myself how bad could it be. It may be a little bit of a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
I was never into the original film but I distinctly remember liking the television series of the same name.
What's right with it: Kelsey Grammar gives a really nice (but typically grouchy) performance as a piano teacher.
Some flashy camera work.
What's wrong with it: Flat uninspired staging, bland performances, irritating lighting, terrible dialogue and just an overwhelming feeling that no one involved in this film really put much thought into making this a fresh take on an old story.
Where to find it: Probably the bargain bin at your local video store.
