On stage, A Chorus Line pulled back the curtain to reveal the hopes and fears of showbiz strivers, but that energy and urgency is lost in the transition to the big screen.

If you were one of that legion who saw A Chorus Line more than once in the theater, the film is enough to make you doubt your judgment. If you've never seen the stage piece, you may come out wondering what in the name of goodness all the fuss was about. March 7, 2019 | Full Review…

A Chorus Line: The Movie is like a soccer match seen only from the waist up. They've cut off the feet, which is all the more frustrating when you're supposed to be enjoying the fancy footwork. March 7, 2019 | Full Review…

You want to know about the dancing? It's bad. Rather, the way it has been restaged and shot for the movie is bad. March 7, 2019 | Full Review…

A classic play has been reduced a decent movie. It's a shame it couldn't be as good as the play; it's a small pleasure that it`s as entertaining as it is. March 7, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A Chorus Line is a noble, at times highly entertaining attempt to bring a hopelessly stagebound show to film. Considering the limitations of the medium, it's almost as good as it could be. March 7, 2019 | Full Review…

The show's format proves too slippery for the director to manage properly. The stagebound setting gets boring; the action doesn't build a steady momentum; and the characters do far too much hanging around until the camera's ready to point at them again. March 7, 2019 | Full Review…

This $24 million extravaganza is an empty shell, so cautious it lacks even the sleazy energy of a real desecration. March 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Athough director Attenborough's film version has a couple of pleasant numbers which serve as oases amidst the dullness, it really hurts for those who remember the dazzle and emotional depth of the let's-put-on-a-show original. March 7, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Attenborough takes the show that set the stage alight and, in this curiously flat version, dampens its spirit. March 7, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
