I think we lost focus on what this movie is about!

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2001)

The movie is about dancing first. In the production notes it was indicated that it has been a long time since a movie like a Flashdance or DirtyDancing was made. And those movies did well.
And while this movie did touch on a lot of racial issues and never really addressed them fully I wasn't too disappointed about it. I never thought the character of Sarah acted outside herself. I never thought she was trying to be black (even some may have thought that).
I liked the movie for realness of Sarah and Derrick relationship. It did seem like a genuine attraction and not a physical attraction in which a lot of people get caught up in. And the dancing and music was off the hook I never thought this movie was meant to address the racial issues but to make people more aware of them.
