This is one excellent movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2002)

I saw the trailer for this movie and thought well it looks quite good, but it will just be another teen romance. I was proved wrong, this film is amazing.
first heres a quick summery of the movie:
Sara (Julia Stiles) is a small town girl with a big dream, to become a ballerina and get into jullart. But when her mother suddenly dies, Sara must abandon her dream and go live with her father;someone she barely knows on chicago's gritty south side. A white girl in a predominately black neighbourhood. She feels out of place until befriended by Chenille and her brother Derek. Sparks fly between Sara and Derek, who share the love of dance. But as there love grows so does the oppostion from their family and friends. Now they face one big challenge: to stay true to their dreams and each other!!!
It has the hottest music, and dance moves. It combines lots of different elements: racism, teen romance, bullying, theft, etc
It isn't just about a white girl falling for a black guy in a white neighbourhood, but about a black guy who falls in love with a white girl in a predominately black neighbourhood.
The acting is amazing, the storyline is great, there is suspence, drama and romance. What more can you ask for a movie. Its one of the few actual great teen movies.
I recommend this film, you won't be disappointed in it. 10/10
