Movie Review: Trashy Soap Opera
Summary: 1 Stars
Fortunately this has been discontinued by the manufacturer, but you might save a misguided rental fee. I was shocked at how bad this was. Some of the performers are quite talented, but their talent is wasted. We have every ethnic stereotype in the book: overprotected Jewish girl, poor little rich white girl, African-American street-dwelling break-dancer, troubled gay son of absent parents, and a Puerto Rican from a poor, crime-ridden neighborhood and a mother steeped in religious superstition with a Freddie Prinze fixation. There is only one character from an even semi-functional family, an eccentric musical genius from a loving blue-collar Italian family. The actors are all waaaaay too old for their parts--they're supposed to be 14 when the movie starts but they all look old enough to have finished college. The sex, drugs, unwanted pregnancy, and other teen drama is trite and overblown and far too graphic (in case your memory is fuzzy and you're thinking this might have been the "High School Musical" for your generation). Even the musical numbers, which are few and far between, seem disjointed and forced. My son attends an arts-focused school so I thought he'd enjoy seeing what the "big kids" do . . . not.Movie Review: Fame Shame

I bought this movie with purple rain a combo set. I was very excited to watch this movie until I started watching. The foul language was unnecessary and too much so I turn it off. I love a good drama movie but cussing for the heck of it won't due for me.
