Discuss: Would 'Glee' Have Worked as a Movie?

In 2009, no television exhibit gave me more experience than Fox's broad edifice musical, "Glee." The forward program about a ragtag Midwest edifice exhibit set struggling to make it to Sectionals and refrain effort Slushied in the hallways by the modify kids has delivered an arguably solid 13 episodes flooded of drama, proscribed romance, bitter rivalries, teen pregnancy, married duplicity, exhibit tunes and pop covers, and the flooded comic force of Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), the scariest role to ever dress a two-piece road suit.

This hebdomad the prototypal 13 episodes of "Glee" are existence released to DVD, which should fill those of us going through withdrawals from today until the prototypal flavour resumes quaternary excruciatingly daylong months from now. But ground alter up a TV exhibit on a movie site? Well, because erst upon a time, "Glee" was planned as a field change picture.

Chime in after the jump.

Would Glee: The Movie hit worked? Writer and co-creator Ian Brennan prototypal planned of "Glee" as a film playscript supported on his possess experiences in broad edifice before showrunner Ryan Murphy transformed it into a series. Watch all the episodes on "Glee – Volume 1: Road to Sectionals" backwards to backwards (although if you're a genuine Gleek you've got them all DVR'ed) and you get the significance that no two-hour movie could allow the exploits of the manic, Broadway-bound glee edifice grapheme wife Berry (Golden Globe nominee Lea Michele), permit lonely a patron of characters that allow Cory Monteith's doofus quarterback, Chris Colfer's adorable, out of the loo Kurt, Dianna Agron's meaningful cheerleader, or the scrumptiously adversarial relation between Gospels Morrison and Jane Lynch, who are both also appointed for Golden Globes.

And then, there's the music. How much would we retrograde under the instance constraints of a movie-length Glee? I live for sight an offensive distinction of football players fortuity into "Single Ladies," and for drawing same Lea Michele and temporary grapheme Kristen Chenowith melodic "Maybe This Time" as dueling Sally Bowleses. Or for Kurt's "Defying Gravity," or Mercedes' "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going."

Take it absent to the comments below, Gleeks! Could "Glee" work as a film, or would it hit become forfeited in a seafaring of High School Musicals watched only by tweens and musical theater junkies?
