I actually made an IMBD account just to review this movie. Honestly I couldn't make it more than 10 to 15 minutes into it, it was that bad. If I could give it zero stars, I would.
I am such a huge fan of the original, a true cult classic with an outstanding soundtrack. (The live venue scenes featuring The Plimsouls were tremendous.) The original captured what the 80's were like for so many of us, and yes, I was a teenage punk during that era. The remake loses all the realness and grittiness of the original.
Maybe it is a generational thing, but why does every remake have to be a f'n made for Disney type movie. Why does everything have to become so CUTE? Why does everything have to become just another teen musical?
Do yourself a favor and skip the remake and watch the original.
