It honors the movie it's based on. The leads can sing ok, but they work with what they have and they are great. Too many group numbers. It was fun, made me smile, was appropriately girly and lots of songs sung and original 80's songs used as background music as well. Loved Girls Just want to Have Fun being sung as a giant upbeat group song and a slow solo. I enjoyed it and would recommend it if you enjoyed the original. They touch on what happens after the prom which was a nice touch.
