BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
godspellgroupie This film is a less pretense than chorus line,but not as entertaining as Fame. It sets up and unfolds in sort of a predictable fashion as it presents a story of four wannabees trying out for Broadway-A country girl who is always the star of the local plays,a Los Angeles hot shot, a brooklyn street dancer and a poor girl from harlem.One makes it,one takes a secondary role,one doesn't make it but has something to fall back on,and one dosen't make it and loses something else in the process.This film has its moments but never really reaches a climax. Still with so many people addicted to American Idol and Dancin with the stars,this film deserves at least another look
Magman1 Singers and dancers from various parts of the country and with various backgrounds head to Broadway to audition for a spot in a show. Focusing on four dancers ranging from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, the film takes them through the whole process of trying out. While the acting isn't all that great, the dancing and music is top notch. Only one actor is recognizable; Lonnie Price,(Niel Kellerman from "Dirty Dancing") plays the role of an NYU student. "Headin For Broadway" also fairly illustrates the audition process, perhaps better than "A Chorus Line". While it is very rare film to find, out of print on VHS and not available on DVD, it is an enjoyable and entertaining movie. If you like good musicals and dance numbers, this is for you.
waloore This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen about dancing, singing, performing, great movie for anyone. That has a dream, or for the pure enjoyment. I could watch this movie over and over again
jasonmcd I can't believe that as of this writing, this film rates 8 out of 10. This is the worst film about dancing ever made. It's so bad, it's good. The opening dance number between Paul Carafotes (Ralph Morelli) and Gary Glendell is as if it was written out of an SNL sketch on dance movies. This movie is so badly written, i could only be compounded by the stunningly bad choreography of Gene Foote, who also plays Jay Weston. Rent it for laughs at your next video screening.
