Nothing really to save here

Rating: 4/10 (6 January 2001)

Save the Last Dance is corniness, lameness and unfactual mish mash and if that's your thing, go for it, but I must say I was dissapointed with this new film from MTV. While it is sometimes convincing with some moments, I just got tired of this whole formula. Plus, how is it that the Sarah Johnson character (Julia Stiles plays her but isn't that great) who has lives in the midwest most of her life around white people can just come into a Chicago ghetto and in 2 days start being black? I just can't follow the logic on this plus many of the other characters here. Oh well. C
