    Good fun, lovable characters, fantastic dance. Cop out of a story, but hey it's Broadway. Worth the watch.

    P. S. The DVD box looks like shit.

    Wow. This needs to be remade badly. Such high potential that doesn't deliver on film.

    Really, really, REALLY cheesy. I also wasn't a fan of how they switched some of the songs to fit in their bad '80s versions with disgusting synthesizers. The dancing is great though, and Michael Douglas fits right in despite not having a song to sing. I have to point out though, ...( read more)doesn't the Larry character look like Tim Curry?? A Chorus Line has its moments, but it's really ruined by the 80s. Pity.

    I feel like I am the only person that really liked this movie. What's odd about that is I am usually someone who doesn't like musicals. I thought the dancing, choreography and acting was quite good. Fine casting, always entertaining.

    A Chorus Line is a fun show with some good dancing and decent songs, but it doesn't have much substance. There are deep moments, but, in the end, it's a pretty frivolous show. It's not the best musical, but it's definitely not the worst.
