Do NOT see this film!

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2001)

**Spoilers**
I don't understand how this movie is actually getting ANY good reviews, especially this many of them...I went to see this because of the dancing that I thought I'd see, but as a professional ballet dancer let me tell you how horrifying the dancing actually was...I'm sorry, but Julia Stiles (whom I used to like by the way) is obviously not a dancer and didn't impress me with her acting in this film either...though she should definitely stick to acting instead of dancing...the only quality dancing in the film was the short clip the audience gets to see of the Joffrey Ballet performing...Besides the dancing, which I'll never get over probably, the acting was not very good for anyone, and the plot was so incredibly cheesy....pleeeassse....And the scene at the end with the Julliard judges...what was that? That would never happen...ever...IF she were allowed to start over, she would be looked down upon...if he came into the audition, she would be dismissed...and the judge saying "I can't say this on the record yet, but welcome to Julliard"...I'd have to say that it is the worst line ever put into a movie...not to mention that this is the worst movie that I have EVER seen...and I'm so sorry that I wasted any time or money on it...I almost asked management for my money back...and that's two of the worst hours I've ever spent in my life...it was pure torture and I'll never get that time back...so please...please...do me a favor and DON'T go see this film...
