Every dancer has every story. I like this movie since it's not all about the audition but life, pain, love and so on. I also love the numbers, especially 'nothing'. Dancers are all great.

This movie gets waaay too much negative attention. It isn't the wreck people say it is. It lost the spirit of the musical in order to put the spotlight on Alyson Reed as Cassie, but the great dance numbers (and the moves to go with 'em) remain as fre...

Other than Michael Douglas the cast is mostly unknowns and were never really seen again as far as I know. Audrey Landers is probably the biggest star and she is great in this role, but what did she ever do after this? Is that the point?

A little drawn out in parts. I liked the singing and the dancing...overall, I liked it........but I liked Chicago better.

That's quite the time capsule they've got there. B- dancing (by contemporary standards), B+ songs, C- Michael Douglas. Really, it just needed more Larry.

I watch this movie after I watched the musical. I don't know. It's weird of this movie. They could have done a better job than this.
And the music is just don't sounded right.

I love the music from A Chorus Line, did a medley in high school, saw this movie a little after that, and finally saw it on Broadway last year.

I liked the whole concept of how the auditions were based on who the people were and the stories they told, not necessarily based on how they danced or sang. The movie was overshadowed by the live performance obviously, but that's because there were so many effective choices Broadway producers can make that really change your viewing experience. For instance, it's not that often that a cast member delivers his lines two feet to your left from the aisles. Or that there was no commercials like on tv, but, there wasn't even an intermission or chance to leave the theater. It made you feel like you were part of the auditions. Aside from that, the music is great, characters are wonderful and it's just so deliciously 80's.

Love the music and the story. The stage show was a lot better but at least I can watch the movie whenever I want.

the stage show is bigger and better. the cinematic version restricts too much and doesn't give the sense of vast rejection.

"Goddammit, now can't ANYBODY up there hear me! Just let your hair down! Can't you talk? All of you, just talk, to me, to each other!... Jesus Christ! "

I love this show, and grew up loving the movie, and was lucky enough to costume design the show in 2007. This show is about vulnerability and the desire for approval. The director is auditioning people, and not dancers; and the dancers tell and show him the kind of people they are. A great story, great songs, great dancing.
