Surprisingly really good!, 16 March 2006
Author:

I just returned from seeing this film at a preview/test screening.
This film was much better than I had expected. The story brings to mind
movies such as Mad Hot Ballroom or Dangerous Minds, but is different
enough that it is able to stand on its own.
Overall I thought the acting was well done. The dancing was great (both
the hip hop dancing and the ballroom). And while I am not a huge
Antonio Banderas fan, I thought he was excellent, and I really liked
him. He was able to be the star of the movie, but not the center of
attention at all times. He looked good and seemed to provide a
different element to what could have been the same old "help the inner
city kids find hope" story.
The script and dialogue had nothing too cheesy or corny, which is
usually found in "feel good" films, or movies about highschool
students. There are plenty of funny parts, as well as enough drama and
interesting character conflicts to keep everything interesting.
My only complaint was that the ending didn't seem to wrap up everything
- there were some back story lines and issues that weren't resolved.
But a few unanswered questions can sometimes be better than a cheesy,
unbelievable ending where suddenly all is right in the world. I'll be
curious to see if they make any changes before it is released in
theatres.
I give it an 8 out of 10, because I was genuinely entertained.
