Some years before Disney made his glorious movie about the little mermaid, a movie appeared with the same title as Disney´s: "The little mermaid". Of course, Disney´s is better than this one, for few reasons:
Special effects: they´re very lame. When you see Pearl the mermaid swimming under the sea you can imagine perfectly the cord that is holding her in the air as she goes through the "sea". I don´t know, it´s not really believable...
The script: the script is pretty lame, too. There´s little time fr character development and one doesn´t feel anything for them, really.
The actors: Pam Dawber is a pathetic actress, I can´t stand her bashful smiles. I haven´t seen her in any movie but this one, and she really demonstrate she is an awful performer. Helen Mirren does not appear too much, but she is OK (who would say that such a brilliant actress would be in this movie???). Treat Williams is correct.
The settings: they´re very unimaginative and vulgar. You can notice they´re not real.
As a conclusion: a pretty bad movie that, anyway, can be kind of entertaining.

This is one of the best musicals there´s ever been, and certainly one of the best pictures ever.
Let´s analize the movie on it´s whole. Everything is wonderful, there´s nothing bad you can find...
The Music. Very good. Not as brilliant as "The Sound of Music"´s, but comes pretty close. The lyrics are very imaginative and funny, and sad when they have to be. One magnificent thing about some songs is that you can feel different about them (sad, happy...) each time you see the movie. That IS something.
The acting couldn´t be better. Of course, Judy´s daughter steals the show with the breathtaking performance of the funny, crazy and childish Sally Bowes. She was born to play Sally, but she didn´t perform, she BECAME Sally. Joel Grey was also amazing. The rest of the cast is not as brilliant, but it´s quite good, specially Faye Dunaway.
The script. Well, it´s probably the best thing of the picture. It takes you through the life of an ordinary girl living an ordinary life singing at the Kit Kat Club, a Cabaret in the Berlin of 1931. Sally´s character is so familiar and simple that you could expect to find her walking in the street tomorrow. It´s just great. The movie is about everything that might seem love without getting to be love. Sexual affairs (heterosexual and homosexual), sensuality, etc... That´s great about the movie.
Well, what else? The cinematography is very good, it´s dark, and siniester for such a creepy and dangerous world Sally lives in without realizing. GREAT. GREAT.
Directing. Bob Fosse does a great job, even though it was only the second film he directed. Nothing was wrong, there were no mistakes. A masterpiece.
After saying this, the movie would deserve a rate of 9/10. Supposing that this glorious film has touched your heart as it has touched mine, the movie would deserve a 10/10.
RATE: 10/10

Drugs, sex and friends are the main worries/problems of teenagers. And this serie reflects them perfectly. It is entertaining, with good actors and it´s set in the Azcona school, where the main characters go. The main characters are Valle, we could say she´s the sex-symbol in the Azcona, and Quimi, a "rebel with a cause". Really good TV serie.
