CGiii Comment

29 years after the original...

There is absolutely nothing original about this sham - Hollywood is definitely in crisis if this is what it regurgitates - without any respect to either Parker or Gore - despicable.

Updating the score - inanely - and getting better-looking leads does not merit nor warrant a re-make done in such a slimy and vacuous way.

Rightly, this flopped - rightly, this lost money...

It shows exactly why Hollywood is disintegrating - taking no risks and relying on old successes does not propel an industry forward.

APPALLING.

The(ir) Blurb...

The four years in the lives of some students in one class, from their entrance audition to their graduation, at New York City's High School for the Performing Arts (P.A.) is presented. Upon their entrance, the disparate group have a few things in common: they've got "big dreams" and they "want fame". Some have natural talent, some have had to obtain talent through hard work and training, and some show only some promise which the teachers hope will materialize into true talent. Some have full support from their parents, some have support from their parents but only for the parents' specific dreams, and some have little or no parental support whatsoever. Some have formal training, some not. Some are confident of what they can do, some believe they are limited and are at school to expand those talents, while others have no confidence whatsoever. And some are clear about where they want to "be" after graduation, while some want to explore whatever other opportunities may arise for them ...
