I actually really liked it

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2007)

When I first saw the previews for this movie, I admit, I wasn't all that excited to see it, but I rented it anyway and really enjoyed watching it. Yeah, Channing Tatum needs little work when it comes to being 'gangsta' but overall turned in a convincing performance, I think I'd rather fall in love with the character he created than a character truer to life because he had a sensuality and a sensitive side that usually aren't exhibited by actors with basically the same role. I especially enjoyed the dancing parts, it made me want to get up and dance! The best kinds of movies make you want to stand up and do exactly what the characters are doing, especially the end during the performance, I didn't, however, like the fact that he keeps giving up and then comes back and says "What do I have to do?" but admittedly the results of his asking were pretty cute especially when they're in the little kid's ballet class, the little girl is just so adorable with her chubby cheeks :) This movie is a story of redemption and defiantly merits the name because it successfully has a dynamic character from end to end. The actors had chemistry, plus (a MUST have) they could dance (which I'm sure can be contributed to a great choreographer) I enjoyed the music, the dances, most of the story line, I think I'll buy the movie sometime soon.
