Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the major dance scene, just at the end of the audition sequence, you can clearly see dancers who have been shown to be rejected. This scene isn't intended to be in continuity, but is more like a curtain call (as it was in the Broadway musical). more

The problem is, someone forgot it's a musical..., 16 April 1999
6/10
Author: Gislef from Iowa City, IA

A Chorus Line, when it functions as a Broadway musical, works fine. Unfortunately, the director and writers forget that occasionally. Then we get the romantic interest/subplot between Zach and his ex. This actually gets in the way once or twice, when a musical number is reduced to background noise while characters have a conversation about the subplot in the foreground. Arrgh. The "Music and the Mirror" piece gets re-adapted for the movie, and not to the better. And "One" gets reprised once or twice too often for my taste (although that's a flaw of the original musical as well). Very entertaining when it sticks to the musical, but loses a point or two on my rating when it moves away from that.
