Amazing Dances, Terrible Acting

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2008)

I don't know why anyone would see this movie for the acting or story. Both were destined to be clichéd beyond cliché. The dialogue is straight out of a middle-aged white man's dictionary of ebonics from 1995.
However, one goes to see these movies for the dancing, and this movie delivers amazing dance performances.
It deserved a 7 because of that, in my mind. You don't go to a romantic hip-hop dancing movie to be wowed by amazing depth of acting, dialogue, cinematography, or visual effects. It is a great popcorn flick for people like me, who have always been amazed at how people can move their bodies like 'that'
