i love it

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2005)

I think Save the Last Dance addresses each issue it attempts very very well, including racism, self confidence or lack thereof, friendship, jealousy, hatred.. everything is wonderful. I also think Stiles and Thomas have wonderfully underrated chemistry which makes the film in that it shows each's hesitation in falling in love. Granted, I wasn't thrilled by some of the acting, but I do think the important parts are portrayed wonderfully. I was able to relate to this film, because I wish to have a career in dance, but there is a lot of opposition to that, and I also have a boyfriend who most people think is not right for me because we move in different circles. I'm fifteen, and I think that, while this movie isn't for everyone, it is a fantastic movie for many people.
