Terrible really....
I haven't seen this on stage so I judge only by what I see here. This is hard to define as a musical as there are so few actual musical numbers in the traditional sense. It veers from the odd proper musical number to odd bits of singing without any connection. The whole Cassie story seems attached to the rest of the film and why don't they just chuck her out of the theatre - how hard is that? It opens well with the mass auditions but it is downhill after that. The only decent musical number is the T1ts and @ss song which earns the entire 1 star here. The rest makes very little sense. Why do they all come back for the ending? Odd.

A MASTER PIECE!!
I was really quite surprised to read some of the condescending reviews about this Master Piece! Purhaps, having not seen the stage show, I do not miss the 'better sequences' that have been cut. However, watching this movie time and time again, I never bore of its electric cast that shine with such presence throughout. I can totally believe how this film has been responsible for peoples careers..as a performer I was hugely tempted on first seeing this film, to become a dancer. It is so dynamically full of life and influencial in that way... All the 'chorus line' show great potential, though you can easily distinguish between who will 'get it' at the end and who will not. 'Surprise Surprise' a classic, so full of spark and even sexual tension!!! 'I can do that' and 'The one' obviously stand out to me, but 'Nothing' is performed with great pinazz too... The one star lost because I felt it focussed too much on Cassies relationship with Zak. Overall however, a very striking and memorable production. I would highly recommend to anyone considering the stage....

The Nightmare of dance
The nightmare of dance is its speed and timing. The chorus line is a fantastic example of proffesionalism at its best and gives you great understanding of the gruelling tasks set upon old and younge dancers in this very distinguishable era. I have many times done the opening dance "I hope i get it" and the difficulty level is phenomenal. Standing ovation!! Brilliant!!

If you love dance then you will love the movie.
This movie to me was one of the greatest influences in my dance career because it captured the energy and the love for dance that only a dancer can know. I did not see the broadway show because it will ruin the movie for me. They are two seperate performances. A great young talented cast headed by a great director is a plus.
