Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

gradyharp For the legions of theater lovers who treasure A CHORUS LINE this informative and fascinating little film will bring memories and tears and satisfaction. The story behind the film is a documentary of sorts that examines the remake of the now nearly thirty-five year old Broadway sensation of a show that was created by Michael Bennett from a recorded conversation with 'gypsies' (a common term for those who work the chorus line). The road from conception to completion for the original show is mirrored by the struggles to cast this re-staging. We are privileged to observe scores of talented dancer/singers as they try to satisfy the team that will have the final say in who is selected for the production. Those familiar with the original cast as well as the movie version or one of the many traveling troupes that have keep this show alive will make their own decisions about who is best for each of the roles. This provides a very immediate replay of the original idea, watching the reactions of each of the people who audition, learning about their own lives, and the importance that appearing in this production means to each. They take what could have been an insider's story and make it viable - which most certainly adds to the joy of seeing and hearing bits and pieces of one of the best shows Broadway ever produced. There is a lot of humor here, some very gut wrenching drama (as we see one of the dancers recreate Paul's monologue), and load of fine memories. Grady Harp

mr_ashyash I have to admit, I'm a sucker for these types of documentaries. It weaves the story of how "A Chorus Line" was created (back in the mid-1970's) with the audition process for the 2006 Broadway revival. When I first saw the musical, a long time ago, I was young and didn't realize that the stories of each character were based on the real life stories of dancers. This film focuses on those stories, and how the current (2006) auditionees (is that a word?) are able (or not able) to convey those characters. In all honesty, I would have liked to hear more about the personal lives of the current auditionees. However, you do get some feeling about their backgrounds and their ambitions, and it's always awesome to see professional performers dance and sing without the lights and glitz of an actual performance. If you're a fan of musicals, this is a definite must see. However, if you're a fan of seeing passionate people strive for greatness, even if you're not a musical buff, I highly recommend it.

callapj I share lor_'s dismay at the distortions and omissions in "Every Little Step". To ignore the contributions of James Kirkwood, Ed Kleban and all the actors in the original cast is appalling. McKechnie and Lee, the only two original cast members, have managed to turn "A Chorus Line" into a positive, but it took the other cast members years of negotiation and the threat of litigation to receive more than the pittance they received from their stories. As an aside, is any movie viewer so naive as to believe that Charlotte D'Amboise just happened to have the camera film her actual casting moment? We ain't that dumb. Disappointing on so many levels.

ultramatt2000-1 When I go to the movies, usually I watch the action-adventure, thrills and chills-type films, but i decided to take a break from them and focus on something like documentaries. Because sometimes the mind desires peaceful things. I need to balance my Yin and Yang.Usually documentary movies are focused on big issues, like AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and FAHRENHEIT 9/11. But as of recently, I ran into documentaries based on thing no one has ever seen or heard of. Like THE KING OF KONG: A FIST FULL OF QUARTERS about two video game champions and EVERY LITTLE STEP.Now about that film, I found it interesting to watch and I learned about not only the story of the revival, but the story of how the show itself got started back in the 70's. And I found out how tough it is to be in showbiz ("Eat nails!"). The surprising fact is the the people in charge of the 2006 revival of A CHORUS LINE were actually veterans of the 1975 production and it was based on the lives on some of the stars. Surprising eh?I can't wait to watch the DVD of this film, I can't wait to see what the film-maker was thinking.All in all, I highly recommend it.
