In an incredibly competitive atmosphere, plagued by self-doubt, each student's passion will be put to the test. In addition to their artistic goals, they have to deal with everything else that goes along with high school, a tumultuous time full of schoolwork, deep friendships, budding romance, and self-discovery.

As each student strives for his or her moment in the spotlight, they’ll discover who among them has the innate talent and necessary discipline to succeed. With the love and support of their friends and fellow artists, they’ll find out who amongst them will achieve Fame...

Hey, douchebag! In case you don't realize, "Fame" is the original "High School Muscal". This is a site for movies & movie fans and here you are spewing your guts about world peace or whatever the hell you're talking about. Go somewhere else with that cr#p like YouTube or something.

AJ,
Those who have no respect for the past are doomed to repeat it. Also, why don't YOU astound us and create a fresh, new original (and moneymaking, because that's what the studios are looking for) screenplay and shop it out to be filmed?

I for one loved the original. Im kinda iffy on this one though. I wish people would let the movies made in the 80's/90's be left alone, because they are the originals! I, however, do like to see how they make it "modern day". But I must say that there is Nothing like the originals!!! I give props to the original director & writer for coming up with the idea...
