Julia Stiles again (as in "10 things I hate...). While she wouldn't actually be my first choice in a dance flick, I don't think she's the wrong one. Whereas Jessica Alba in Honey -> just wrong! Too cute, no emotional depth, but that's a different story altogether. But reminds us how difficult it is, to make a music/dance movie, that actually has some story to it.
Most of the movies, just lay their weight on the dance scenes. And while those are fun to watch, you can't but think that you are watching a pretty long (and therefor boring) music video. The drama and the acting do elevate this one above some other efforts, but it's still not perfect. Well to me it isn't, so if you like this type of movies, you might enjoy it even more than I did.
