I'm not "gonna live forever" if this is the updated version of the 1980's classic. Add some bubblegum, pop and a heavy beat and we find a film based on what should have been left alone. It was good to see the faculty, Broadway versed in real life, and interesting to see the younger talent; mind you the talent comment is not a rave review of their acting abilities. There were some seemingly authentic moments and good performances, but that does not make a movie earn the name Fame anywhere in it's title.
No bite: Rent the original, it's timeless.
