Likable dance movie

Rating: 6/10 (6 December 2007)

Enjoyable drama that helped kick start a new dance craze in the early 80's, "Flashdance" follows the fortunes of welder/night club dancer Alex as she dreams of one day turning professional.
While the main attraction is probably the very popular soundtrack (main theme by Irene Cara), the narrative remains interesting throughout, and Adrian Lyne creates believable characters which form the basis of the strong plot.
The ending may be a little predictable, and perhaps unlikely, but it won't spoil what is quite a likable movie from a director who of course went on to some really riveting drama four years later.
