Good for a Friday night at home with friends, don't see it in theaters.

Rating: 5/10 (14 August 2006)

Okay, so when I first saw the trailer to this movie, I knew it would be cheesy, but I was at least hoping for a decent storyline. This script seemed like it had been thrown together in ten minutes. There were too many conflicts with each of the characters and none of them were ever given enough depth to make an emotional connection with the viewers. Channing Tatum has potential as an actor, but it wasn't displayed in this movie. He gave a much more vibrant performance in She's The Man, whereas he was almost emotionless in this flick. The acting as a whole was disappointing; Jenna Dewan was a decent dancer, but she lacked the emotion and the drive to create a memorable performance as an actress. The whole cast seemed forced throughout the movie; their acting was mediocre at best. However, the dancing was good and I really liked the music. It was also refreshing to see a movie that was free of nude scenes, heavy swearing, and sexual activity. I recommend this movie as a rental, but I wouldn't pay to see it in the theaters.
