The movie was a bit disappointing for several reasons, but mainly because it was incomplete, since it only focused on the first 4 seasons of "Beverly Hills, 90210", namely less than half of the entire show.
But even this "incomplete" movie showed little beyond the ongoing feud between Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth, and in general the former's problems with the rest of the cast. Someone could say that this is normal since Doherty causing off-screen troubles for 4 seasons was the hot topic for the tabloids, but that movie should have been more than that.
As a result the rest of the cast members, who were portrayed in the movie, were marginalized. It was really weird that there was not even a mention of Carol Potter and James Eckhouse, the Walsh parents.
Tiffani Thiessen was the most important of the non original cast members and the only one to be portrayed in the movie, since she landed one of the major female roles of the entire show. But she was included only for a couple of minutes at the end of the movie, although there were always rumors about her not being welcomed by the other female leads (Garth and Spelling) in the beginning, something that could make the movie go on. Additionally, we could have seen more cast members such as Kathleen Robertson.
Casting was successful, the actors were great and really got to the point. They did help us getting into the spirit of the original show, definitely more than spin-off "90210" did.
Actually the movie was something like "The Unauthorized Shannen Doherty Story". Omissions, obsessions, inaccuracies and the absence of the 6 following seasons, prevented the movie from giving the feeling of satisfaction to a true "Beverly Hills, 90210" fan.
