A chronicle of the lives of several teenagers who attend a New York high school for students gifted in the performing arts.
From memory: professionally made with some good scenes and music, but has a messy and rather puzzling set of storylines.
Halliwell*: "Cleverly shot and edited slice of life which unfortunately features people whose language and personalities are fairly repellent. The result is like A Chorus Line without the music."
Maltin**1/2: "...should have made a great film, but this one just misses the mark, despite good ingredients and Oscar-winning music...Moments of insight, , excitement, and creativity eventually get lost in abrupt, disjointed continuity, which leaves a bushel of loose ends and unresolved ideas."
