She's got the moves.

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2003)

She be kickin' it! After her mother's death, a white suburban ballet student(Julia Stiles) moves to Chicago, where she becomes immersed in the hip-hop culture at her inner-city high school. I really like Stiles, but this romantic drama needs more than the manic scenes at the dance club. Drive-by shootings are shown as a matter of fact and nothing out of the ordinary. Sean Patrick Thomas is interesting. Kerry Washington and Bianca Lawson are very easy on the eye. If you are not into hip-hop, you will not enjoy this film much. I'm all for romance, but this budding relationship lacked combustion.
