Smart Movie With Style

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2002)

Save the last dance is a story about a girl following her dreams. Sarah Johnson(Julia Stiles) was always a ballet dancer but on the night of her audition, her mother dies in a car accident. Sarah blames herself. She goes to live with her father wanting to do nothing with her past. Sarah lives in a black neighbourhood and no matter how hard she tries, she is never appreciated. Then she meets Derek(Sean Patrick Thomas). He promises to teach her how to dance and how to fit in. Sarah and Derek fall for each other, but the people around them are not happy. They try everything to break them up because they don't appreciate their relationship. Save the last dance is a movie about following your dreams, never giving up and ignoring the people that get in your way. A smart movie with style,class and some nice moves. I would give Save the last dance 8.5/10
