ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

shericastro97 Maybe I have to be more into dance to understand this movie but I give it a 4. The only reason I watched it was because of Patrick Swayze being in it. It had some good dance moves. It was melodramatic for the most. I got bored pretty quick into the movie. I wish I could say something more nice about it. Glad I purchased it for a buck. Sure miss Patrick Swayze. The ending is a bit predictable. Would of enjoyed it more if they made it when they were younger. They waited too long to make the movie out of their experiences i believe. I enjoyed watching Patrick and Lisa dancing together especially after reading the books of Patrick and Lisa life together. It was also nice to remember Patrick Swayz in good health and doing what he loved, dancing.

ilona-odekerken I am a novice dancer but this film left me speechless. It was awesome to watch the dancing and for me to think that both Lisa and Patrick were in their early 50's when this was shot, is amazing to me. They were beautiful in the dancing as were the other dancers. What inspired me to return to dancing was the scene with the seniors doing ballet. It showed to a non dancer that it is never to late to follow your heart and maybe take up a dream you had as a youngster. Choreography was great, I enjoyed watching to process and dedication required to get the show done. This film touches the soul, if not then no film can. The story is good but the dancing is awesome. Its a shame that the film did not get picked up my a major studio I think they really lost out. Great job , well worth buying this movie.

thediva_mac This is an intense work which focuses on the immense amount of strain and stress that professional dancers must undergo on a daily basis. In this case, the three main characters were unable to cope with the pressure and left the company. Seven years later, the company's tyrranical founder has died and the remaining staff recruit the former trio to premier the work which broke their dancing careers. In the process of reviving the dance, each of the three are forced to confront the psychological, interpersonal and intrapersonal issues which have plagued them for the last seven years.Unlike many other "dance" movies in which the casts are actors who have been given a few ballet lessons, the cast of this film are real dancers. The choreography is beautiful ( in fact, I watch the opening sequence multiple times in a row) and the music is absolutely amazing, ranging from classical to neoclassical to rap.

bridececily Overall, I enjoyed this film. It is a movie musical, but instead of breaking into song, the performers break into dance. This film was very well written and directed. I, however, feel that it doesn't translate well from stage to screen (I wish that I had been able to see the stage production). Or maybe the world just isn't ready for such a progressive method of storytelling. The Complexions dancers are wonderful and Lisa Niemi, Patrick Swayze and George de la Peña are superb dancers. The acting is certainly adequate and, at times, deeply moving. I recommend this movie to anyone with a dance background or an interest in non- traditional films.
