FAME: A flop?

So, it's pretty easy to say that the new movie Fame got less than mediocre reviews. I did not go see it this weekend, so I went and read the reviews. It was not pretty.

Variety called it "bland" and the "director Kevin Tancharoen and writer Allison Burnette hew closer to an 'after school special.'" They also called Fame "MGM[s]... missed opportunity." They did however compliment--I think-- the stars by saying "several of these talented young performers might... [become] famous. It just likely won't be for this."

Los Angeles Times wrote "call the coroner... a crime scene that should be yellow-tapped and relentlessly investigated" saying the "central characters prove to be forgettable."

And USA Today called Fame "bland and predicable" "not unlike... the High School Musical movies." The "human stories [are] lacking" and you get a "superficial sense of these students."

Wow, harsh. I'll still go see it. I've been waiting for it to come out for months.

WHAT DO YOU THINK: Did you see Fame? How did you like it? If you didn't see it, do you want to? COMMENT!
