I didn't watch the original film so I can rate this film itself without comparison it. Firstly, the story is interesting, is tells about teenager girl who tries to choose what she wants in life. I really like that she doesn't want to copy someone's behaviour, she finds her own way. Secondly, the cast is beautiful. Thirdly, the atmosphere of film is made by wonderful 80s music and costumes.
So, it's good romance musical.
