Nice, decent, and better than expected

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2001)

Well in fact the only reason for me to enter this movie was just that there was nothing better around. And well - I hoped to hear some new, cool, interesting, good black music in it.
There wasn't any, just some nice standard stuff already heart before; but the acting was very good, and the script was also not too bad, which made the movie still quite enjoyable. The skinny, very paleskinned Julia Stiles fit optimally into her role, I especially liked it how good she was able to express her troubles with her mothers death. I liked the acting of everybody else in this movie, too. I'm not able to judge how good or bad the dancing was, but at least it was not too bad.
In the sum, it was a very nice movie, better than I had thought, but it was as decent as I had thought. If you want to have some excitement, better watch something else.
