"Gotta Dance" drags??

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2000)

I don't really understand the user comments saying that "Gotta Dance" drags on! That is outrageous!
Not only was Gene Kelly one of the most captivating dancers, but he was an awe-striking choreographer and director as well! The man knew dancing AND how to present dancing!!
The sequence tells of the trials of the young dreamer in flawless beauty, like a soliloquy without words, but in motion and mood. The colours in these scenes are like that of an oil painting, beautiful in their brilliance, style, and emotion. Charisse and Kelly bring "Singin'..." to a delight of mood and subtlety; possibly to never happen again on celluloid!

Perhaps it is too much a forgotten art form in today's movies, but of its own genre, "Gotta Dance" is a true work of absolute excellence! Does that mean because it is "too ballet" for audiences that it should be said to "drag on?" Open your minds a bit people!!
Hollywood will most likely never make films like this again; why "dis" them?
