Pleasantly Surprised

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2006)

Pleasantly surprised. Dancers who can really act or actors who can really dance. I'm shocked at the negative reviews over here. I'm a big fan of the movie and the 2 leads. Wow. I liked how the concentration wasn't mainly on the love life of the characters but their ambitions and their need to do something that they love as a profession or to just better their lives. Being an artist, composer and a dancer at heart I could relate to all the characters. I did not read the reviews nor did I for Superman Returns, The Devil Wears Prada and this movie, but I have to say this is one of the best summers ever. The only down side was Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I slept every time Johnny Depp wasn't on screen. Excellent. Who is Channing Tatum? His dancing is spectacular. Jenna Dewan was amazing as well. I related to the DJ carrying around his keyboards and demos and laptop, the singer. Everything was so real.
