Fame - Directed by Kevin Tancharoen

Fame - Directed by Kevin Tancharoen
This loose remake of the 1980 performing arts classic is directed by Kevin Tancharoen and lead by an ensemble cast of young dancers, singers, and actors. It follows students as they apply to P.A., are accepted or rejected, and through their 4 years of high school. The film does a good job of showing the realities of trying to make it as a performer, while still leaving time for dance scenes and singing. Overall it's enjoyable and fun, but with the exception of Collins Pennie the cast does not make you feel the highs and lows and trials and tribulations of achieving fame.
