A bit slow moving but nice for a date

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2005)

I gave this 6/10 because it was quite slow moving. The saving grace was Julia Stiles performance, especially in the audition scene at the end. However if you are 15-25 , and like hip hop, then it would be worth an 8/10.
I am not a hip hop fan, nor particularly like the music. However just as 20 years ago similar theme films-cultural conflict & generation gap films like Flashdance & Dirty Dancing, and before that Saturday Night Fever, would have appealed to late teens early 20's going out on dates, then this is a similar feel good date film.
The dance scenes in the night club were very ordinary. The lead characters were lost, and scarcely highlighted, unlike those other films were the lead characters performed at length on own with lots of floor space.
As I said the saving grace was Julia Stiles and her dance audition performance at the end.
Boston Public The previous evening I watched an episode of Boston Public, and the school scenes, character development, story lines , a lot better than Save The last Dance.
Flashdance I am sure as Flashdance stood out so 20 years later still watchable, so will this film. In 2020 those moviegoers will be in 40's and see it is a trip down memory lane.
