Great film for teens and anyone who knows a teen.

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2001)

My fourteen-year-old daughter and her friends went to see Save the Last Dance. They all thought it was great. Shelby said' Mama you must see this movie'. I took my 65 year old, educated, upper class, southern, WASP Mother to the movie, we laughed and cried for hours. Interesting story, wonderful group of new talent The whole film is well cast,Sara is excellently portrayed by Julia Stiles, and Derek by Sean Patrick Thomas. Wonderful acting by these two, a fun sense of humor, and a strong chemistry, that made Sara and Derek so believable.Julia is obviously very talented and will do well. Sean also seems very talented a beautiful smile and a twinkle in his eye. They both seem to be very comfortable in their own skin. These two main charactors are good role models for teens, because they are color blind and look for the best in everyone and are focused on the long run and academics.
