1. Quality

2. Summary

   Pretty Awful 0.5

   There are bad movie remakes, and there are horrible movie remakes. This was HORRIBLE. I felt like I was watching a movie made solely for the purpose of showcasing the choreographers and vocal coaches from “So You Think You Can Dance” and “American Idol” … no storyline, no acting, just lots of BAD performance videos.

4. Acting

   Barely OK 2.0

   The actors are OK … no standouts and certainly nothing brilliant.

5. Male Stars Barely OK 2.0

6. Female Stars Barely OK 2.0

7. Female Costars Barely OK 2.0

8. Male Costars Barely OK 2.0

10. Film

    Bad 1.0

    Where to start … In a movie about a performing arts school, Task #1 is to make the performances convincing. They didn’t achiee this goal in this movie. In fact, there are several things that should just never happen, especially in this movie:
    1) Obvious lip syncing in every single vocal selection
    2) Obvious faking when showing instruments being played
    3) Bad music and lyrics
    4) Average acting ability
    5) Sloppy choreography

11. Direction Bad 1.0

    COME ON. You took an awesome classic and made it …. this?

12. Play Pretty Awful 0.5

    Lame. Sucky. Bland. Cliche. Lacking.

13. Music Pretty Bad 1.5

    I was so beyond disappointed by the music in this movie.

14. Visuals OK 2.5
15. Content

16. Edge

    Tame 1.3

    When did it become OK to portray high school students drinking every time they’re in social situations? Not OK in my book, and it was a major portion of this movie.

17. Sex Innocent 1.5

18. Violence Gentle 1.0

19. Rudeness Polite 1.5

21. Reality

    Glib 1.3

22. Circumstantial Glib 2.0

24. Physical Natural 1.0
