Every second chance begins with a first step.

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2008)

The film follows the tale of the disadvantaged Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) and the privileged modern dancer Nora Clark (Jenna Dewan), who find themselves paired up in a showcase that determines both of their futures. Realizing that they only have one chance, they finally work together.
So, this is one of fifty million other dance movies released a few years ago. But this movie has a twist: there's a new dancing style! If you wonder why people keep making dance movies, there are always new dancing moves from each new dancing movies. People really go to see dancing films to see the dance sequences and not the plot, and I won't blame them for that.
Obviously, the highlight of this film, along with several other dance films, are the dancing sequences. I must say, they're really above average. I would say the score is also very good. Now for the plot, you are right if you think it's predictable and clichéd.
Other than that, there's no reason to see or not to see this film. If you want to, go. If not, don't go. You won't gain or lose anything from it. I say, if you watch this movie for the dance, watch it. If you watch this movie for the plot, you'll be disappointed.
