Does Not Deliver **May Contain Spoilers**

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 2006)

If you are looking for another "Save the Last Dance" type of movie, save your money. I'm a professional dancer of 20 years who can never pass up a dance movie, however this one didn't deliver the goods. I was disappointed in the lack of a story that held no depth you can chew on. The story follows a similar theme: Boy is a great b boy dancer who happens to be poor. Girl goes to prestigious art school and is a ballerina. Their worlds clash. They dance together. The end. The story line is very base and boring. The art school director's character is beyond unbelievable. I think her entire character consisted of frowning at b boy dancer as a punctuation to each scene that included him, up until the end. The two leads hardly look young enough to be in high school. Jenna Dewan looks like a 25 year old chain smoker, rather than a fit and healthy dancer. She tried her best to whine and produce teenage angst toward her mother, who was just as boring to watch as she was. Jenna's friend in the movie gets cheated on by her boyfriend, an aspiring singer. Predictable. The music was dull and uninspiring. Personally I couldn't wait to leave. I wanted to walk out on the film, yet at the same time wanted to give it a chance. If you truly want to see this film, wait until the last 15 minutes of it, walk in and sit down to see the "senior recital", where girl and b boy boyfriend get on the stage and do a decent production number, but then it's over. This was about the only interesting part of the entire 98 minutes.
