Fame the movie, is film inspired by the tv show from the 80s which was a spinoff the movie Fame, when your premise starts with this, you already are in trouble… For those too young to remember what fame is about… It follows a few students of the New York Academy of Performing Arts…. To make references that everyone can understand, it’s like if the Hills meet High School Musical… And it is SO painful watch, and this despite the lovely Kherington Payne, former contestant on So You Think You Can Dance, gracing us with her presence… Trying not to be biased; I think we’ll see that girl back in more movies, and even some where she doesn’t have to dance, either that, or the other ensemble cast is so bad that she looked so much better.
Just to give you an idea on how attrocious the movie is… Megan Mullally, the annoying chick from that annoying show Will and Grace, plays a voice coach/instructor, and at some point goes singing into a karaoke bar, and let me tell you… after seeing her lipsyncing, I trully believe that Ashlee Simpson is a genius at it… that’s how bad it was… and at this point I’m wondering if it’s useful to talk about how stereotypical the flick is: from the talented boy who used to play in his family restaurant, to the young naive talented but shy girl, with also the girl who wants to break free from her parents, and the kid being ripped off trying to make a movie… the whole movie is an endless string of stereotypical cliches….
