My new "favorite film". It will move you!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2001)

I can't say enough about this movie. It went from a movie described by IMBD as one of 2000's sleepers to my favorite film with a single viewing. I rented the DVD (because of the IMBD note) and immediately purchased a copy - that was about a month ago. I don't know how many times I have watched it, I've lost count - I just love it. It has wonderful performances, good music, funny and serious scenes - I just can't say enough. Rated "R" for the language alone (OK, blue-collar families in Britain say the "F" word a lot) - perhaps you don't want your youngest children seeing it, but otherwise put on your "F"-word filter and see this movie! Some have criticized the ending - well, I liked it - it closes the story and reminds us of a lasting friendship. Put aside any biases you may have (particularly about boys doing ballet) and see this film with an open mind - it will move you.
