Purely Joyful Movie!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Yes, the story is predictable. But it's a drama. Acting is good, choreography is GREAT and it deserves much more than 5 stars. It's prob at least a 7/10 seeing as some movies WAY less entertaining get 2 more stars. I don't even normally like movies that target the audience this one does, but it is well done.

If you have seen any sort of dancing or cheerleader movie you will always be three steps ahead of the plot. It's a simple story of an angry outcast who attends a new school and stirs up trouble. He immediately becomes sexually attracted (yes sexually attracted, the romance is extremely superficial) to a girl at his school, and develops a vendetta against some guy and by extension his entire frat basically because the guy is going out with the hot girl. He chooses not to accept their apology and so we have this movie, and our "hero". Somehow after this point, the plot keeps getting less and less interesting and progressively worse, until the credits role and we raise our hands in thanks. The one redeeming quality this movie has is the dancing. If you have a legitimate interest in dancing this movie might not be the tedious experience it is for most people. Chris Brown, the frats, and Columbus Short present very good dance moves, but between those dance moves there's very little that inspires or interests the viewer.In summary the plot is horrible, but the dancing is good. Don't buy the DVD.

I give it a 2 because there have been worse movies. But, for the most part it was really bad. That being said, if you are a young teen who is into movies like "You Got Served" (which definitely rates a 1 as one of the worst ever), you will like this movie. Granted, the film is not full of really good actors either. Sure, Chris Brown is in it, but, that may be it's only highlight. Even he fails to perform up to snuff, but, he did have a few good moments. There were a few steps that were good, but, there wasn't anything really unique. In fact, the front step kick in Karate Kid was a lot more unique than anything I saw in here for it's time. Roller dancing films, break dancing films and now this film. That's what type of film it was.

I'm often baffled at the ratings that some of the movies end up with out here. This movie is far better than a 3+. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the very beginning, but what I did see was entertaining and well-acted, just what one would usually expect from a film of any sort. Sure, the story's been told, as most stories have, but they all have something a little unique to offer. The dance sequences weren't necessarily awe-inspiring, but they also weren't drawn out so long as to bore you. All in all, I enjoyed this picture. My perspective comes from that of a middle-aged white guy, so it might be quite different from yours.
