This movie is shot like a documentary following a group of teenagers from their auditions to their graduation from the Performing Arts school in New York. It is not as wholesome as High School Musical, nor is it as gritty as the original Fame movie. The music is modern and releva...( read more)

This movie shouldn't be really called Fame since it's not a remake but rather another -completely different- form of the 1980 one; which by the way, unlike this one, was good. It's closer to High School Musical than it is to Fame.

Yeah, I saw it. Shut up. It's really just what you want it to be. Musical montages instead of character development. Tried and true cliches (the kid from iowa, the angry kid, the kid whose parents won't let her follow her dreams...) It's much fun to watch Frasier, Lilith and Kare...( read more)
I really hate watching Kay Panabaker. Her face just anoys me! lol other than that i was very entertained! I love theater and this movie was just what me and my friends wanted. I kinda wish there would have been more dance seces...the ones that were there were amazing!!
es mas entretenida que la primera.. pero el problema es que la primera es mucho mas realistica en terminos en lo que toma mucho trabajo llegar a la fama..y que en verdad muchos no llegan.................y eso esta peliculafallo en
de todos modos es buena
Dancing and singing always makes me happy! But, I'm not really aa fan of the Fame-franchise. Never liked the first movie.. And this one was not much better. But I loved Megan Mullally!
Plastic.
It looked like a better version of "High School Musical". I didn't feel like it was reality unlike "Fame: The Original Movie".
To be honest, the only reason why I watched this was 'cause my gurl TK be in it! Was only in there for 5 seconds and she still killed it. Maddest B* in the game! Overall, it was nice.
As a group this cast probably wouldn't even make it past Hollywood week on "American Idol". full review
The picture is fitfully effective, but the story disappears in the editing bay. The movie has about as much heft as watching jesters and fire eaters at a village fair. full review
Fame offers slick entertainment with some exuberance, but it's devoid of soul or heart. full review
[Its] hyperreal documentary quality is combined with a borderline fantasy feeling, which will probably drive some literal-minded viewers up the wall, but which is actually the movie's best element and... full review
Much of Fame draws us in, through the irresistible appeal of young people bursting with energy. full review
The new Fame is a sad reflection of the new Hollywood, where material is sanitized and dumbed down for a hypothetical teen market that is way too sophisticated for it. It plays like a dinner theater v... full review
