Viewing Notes
Fame is a remake of the 1980 film. I actually used to watch the TV show as well. I have to say I thought this remake was pretty weak. The only story I found compelling was the story of the young actress, Jenny (Kay Panabaker). The rest of hte stories just seemed to disconnected and completely underdeveloped.
It had a good enough cast, even having Debbie Allan back and then Bebe Neuwirth, Charles Dutton, Kelsey Grammer, and Megan Mullaly. However even the good cast and decent musical numbers couldn’t save Fame from being just an average movie and nothing worth writing home about.
