Convince me you d make a movie for young teen girls and not pump up the melodrama. Anyway, now Sara s stuck going to live with her dad, who not only is divorced from her dearly departed mom but is so irresponsible he s a jazz musician. And you know what that means. She hates him. It isn t easy.
Love never is.
It's the combo of the two the film's zealous take on hip-hop dancing and the script's propensity to probe deep into relationships between kids and adults, girls and guys and, especially, girls and girls that makes Last Dance tick. Plus, Stiles and Thomas deliver good, even believable, performances. All the kids dance. Sure it all winds up back at Juilliard tryouts again. And sure, you already know how it ends.
