Hm... I was in the play last spring (for my high school), and a cable station just happened to be showing the movie around the same time. That is the only time I can honsestly say that a high school production was better than a Hollywood movie. Mind you, I'm probably overstating the quality of our production there, so I don't think the movie was /terrible/...

Then again, perhaps that's a good reason to remake it... the new version would likely end up better than the old. :)
