Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I love dance movies, like I really love them. So of course I watched this one too. The dancing parts were okayish... Derek and BoA are really good dancers, no question about that. And I loved the drum-parts... that was something new. And also the OST was pretty good. But there was no chemistry between Derek and BoA, the couple-dances looked way to choreographed...like dances from "dancing with the stars"... Derek should do that and nothing else. And two times they even copied from Dirty Dancing...and that's a no-go! So that's a dance movie that doesn't make it to my "watch again" list and that's a bad rating for me!

I am rather disappointed. I knew before watching that it's going to be a cheesy romeo and juliet plot but i expected there to be at least some sparkle. Unfortunately... The movie is made up of loads of indoor scenes which are not NY at all, plus couple aerial views of the bridges and a shot where Derek in the Borough Hall/Court Street area. Okay, the dance moves were fun and cool from time to time but not new or brilliant, with the production team and actors that the movie had, I expected much more. Derek Hough and BoA are both cute, but no they cannot act. They just do not have that sense of presence, at least not in this movie. BoA obviously is not a native English speaker, which fits her role, but she tries too hard to be effortless and smooth, and that makes her lines mono-toned. U-know's guest appearance totally disappointed me as well, that act could never be a headline in any club and definitely not up to standards of a dance movie. In real life, I doubt any club owner would fly such dancer all the way from Korea. That suit vest thing showing his chubby arms are making the scene even worse. Last but not the least, that pony-tail guy totally reminded me of Maria in the film "Din Tao：Leader of the Parade"... I'm not giving the movie a one -star just because it was fun running into the crew in W Hotel two years ago...

Derek Hough, Emmy winning Dancing with the Stars pro, and Asian star Boa collaborate on the theme of dance and love. Theirs is a Romeo and Juliet story for the modern age complete with feuding brothers and problems looming.If you watch DWTS and know Derek's dance brilliance you will be amazed at his tap dancing in this film which looks so professionally done even though he is new to tap. And those like me who know little of Boa will be equally impressed with her abilities.The love story is sweet and tender and touches your heart. There is only a minimal amount of violence and language and a maximum amount of dance. Great for a date movie. Good for families and just to see that gorgeous Derek body makes it a winner for girls night out. Yum!

The story line kind of reminded me of Step Up 3D; they both had to do with brothers, clubs, and dancing. In fact when I first read the plot my brain immediately flashed to Step Up 3D. It wasn't until I saw the trailer for this movie that I knew it was a completely different movie.I really enjoyed seeing BoA act though; I didn't know she was in this movie or in a movie in general. I do dabble in just about every genre in almost every language, but I'd like to see her in Hollywood movies more. I think she has more to show for, don't get me wrong her dancing was good in the movie just not really one part that I remember more than the others. Moreover I think she and everyone else did a pretty good job at acting their characters; I particularly liked Nick and Kaz more than the main characters. It was a cute love story nonetheless; the movie itself doesn't particularly stand out to me. Although now I'll remember a few faces rather than just seeing their IMDb profile. There are some good looking people in this movie.They could have had better song choices, as I didn't really feel into it like I wanted to jump right in and dance with them or even dance in my own room. The ending song was just about the only one that made me want to know what it was, and I did like the different forms of dancing and performances they had in this film.There was only one part that I really laughed at and really just wanted rewind and see it again. Other than that I probably wouldn't watch it again. Just something nice to pass time, to each his own though.
