My thoughts on the movie
We all need 2 realize they had 2 condense so much info into a TV movie but overall think they did a good job. Things I liked that they showcased includes:
1. Talent ~ From Mario/Elizabeth talk about dance to him being a wrestler (which I didn't know growing up but found out later in interview he did). Wish however they would have had him bring up being a drummer but then realize that would mean mentioning of another TV show he was in.
2. Hairstyles ~ From Mark having to dye hair along w/ Elizabeth intense hairspray
3. Religion/Relationships ~ Referring to Lark discussion about being a Jehovah witness & her being w/ Mark (they gave a hint when they did rehearsal scene of them playing around, then the constant scenes of having them seated next to each other, to of course the roof top segment).
Only thing bothered me was the fashion. I was hoping to see them recreate some of the original outfits but read in another forum that they could not due to publishing rights from the creators. Which also meant the format of certain scenes were rephrased & set of show had to be a bit different.
