Review of Fame (2009) by Danielle S — 19 May 2008
At the New York City High School for the Performing Arts, students get specialized training that often leads to success as actors, singers, etc. This movie follows four students from the time when they audition to get into the school, through graduation.
They are the brazen Coco Hernandez, shy Doris Finsecker, sensitive gay Montgomery MacNeil, and brash, abrasive Raul Garcia. Nominated for multiple Oscars and quite deservedly winning two for its triumphant music, this is a musical in which it actually makes sense that people should burst into song -- sure, performing-arts students might naturally break into a tune without provocation, but their verve is the kind that just can't be contained.
