Sing

I like this kind of show. It reminded me a little of the TV series, "Fame". A high school is about to be closed down by the school board, and the students wanted to put on a final 'sing' concert without the consent of the authorities. Problems arose as one of the boys in the show committed a crime with his older brother. This caused friction with another student in the production. Even with all the troubles, the show still managed to go on. Very good semi-musical.

This movie has always been my absolute favorite, ever since it came out just before I entered high school. It's the classic "Rebel Without a Cause" story with incredible music and dancing. Just recently, after 7 years of searching, I purchased the soundtrack. I've had it for a few months now and I have yet to take it out of my CD player! It's an incredible story with incredible song and dance. If you've never seen it before rent it from your local video store. It's well worth it!

This is one of the movies that you are embarrassed to admit you like, but you still secretly own and watch whenever you need a cheesy pick-me-up. The styles and dancing are decidedly 80's so it is probably due for a come-back. This movie is fun and the dancing is much better than I would have expected from a B movie. Peter Dobson's character as the strong, sensitive, misguided Dominick makes him all the more lovable. I certainly would dance with him if I could. This movie is recommended if you, like me, are an 80's movie enthusiast.

This movie has been a favorite of mine since I saw it for the first time in 1989. If you love 80's movies you'll love this one. It's got somewhat of a star studded cast. Not many people have ever heard of this movie so it's not shocking that an up and coming Cuba Gooding Jr goes unnoticed in his small role. Others included are Miss Patti Labelle and Peter Dobson who would later appear in a few other movies and television roles.

I wouldn't classify this movie as a dance movie along the same lines as Girls Just Want to Have Fun etc. There is a bit of dancing but it's not the storyline.

It's a classic 80s movie. Young rebel without a cause meets sweet innocent young girl. Girl melts guys heart of ice guy makes girl cry but somehow it all works out in the end.

A Must See.

Have a friend who lives in the Bronx and told me that his daughter had participated in Sing at her high school. As far as I know this is (or was) a real event there. I would love to see this one come out on DVD - Id be the first in line to buy it.

It is hard to find good stories like this one that has a basis in fact and refreshing to know that such events really occurred. I am certain that most of us would be surprised by the talent that can be found in our high schools as is depicted in this film. Music and music programs should be continually encouraged in our schools. It is well known that students who excel in music also excell in academics and that is most definitely a worthwhile cause.
