Jacqui Thomas - Live your life your way

I’m old enough to have seen and loved the first Fame movie, so I’d have to say I was disappointed with the modern day version. I was expecting a similar storyline to the first one – but if there was a storyline, then I missed it. Very average to say the least. I wouldn’t rush out to see it on the big screen.

What a wonderful holiday surprise this turned out to be. Great family entertainment for all ages. A delightful, funny, inspiring, fantasy/adventure story. Not so fantasy as to be too far- fetched. Good wholesome family fun.

Being the mother of a six year old girl, means that this dvd has had serious airplay at our house over the last few months. If I had a dollar for every time I heard Money, Money, Money I too would be a rich woman! Seriously though, I’d have to admit to being a closet Abba fan, and there is a good selection of eye candy too. I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan, but there’s also Colin Firth and a very cute Stellan Skarsgard if you prefer the younger look. A great way to spend some quality mother-daughter time, no matter what age you are. Be sure to crank the volume and boogie around the living room to get maximum enjoyment.

Well I guess you’d have to call this a chick’s flick, but I think most guys I know could happily sit through this and find it funny. It’s a great role reversal story of a guy going through a relationship breakup when he really thought the girl was “the one”. I laughed out loud several times and really enjoyed it. Nothing too deep or philosophical but great, light entertainment.
