What a beautiful movie!

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Maybe its due to my 8yo binge watching it - but only up to episode 15 of series 1 and its so painful. I understand it doesn't have to be brilliant and most of the actors are first timers, but the script - does Emily need to be so completely nasty? At the moment, there's not character growth - all I'm seeing is a bunch of needless drama, the owner of the studio is completely idiotic and clueless as to what's going on. I hope it improves.

The only reason this is not the worst show is that TMZ is still on the air. The show does have a plot--a thoroughly predictable plot, but I can live with that in a show that's aimed at tweens. It's hard for me to assess the dancing talent because the choreography is so bad. You don't just put ballet, hip-hop, and gymnastics in a blender and hit "mix." Having all three elements in a dance is not a terrible idea, but they have to be brought together with finesse, not because the studio is a democracy (everybody gets a voice). And choreographing an ensemble dance routine and learning it in a day is completely unrealistic. It's unclear what the studio choreographer's role is, since the routines seem to be made up by the students themselves. In fact the studio owner doesn't contribute much, either.There's nothing one can say about the music; it's simply unmemorable.The gimmick of the behind-the-scenes interviews doesn't work. These kids can't act, and their drama is overblown. It's really a caricature of teenagers and depicts teens as universally self-absorbed. The other problem with it is that some of the interviews happen in the middle of the action. For example, a given actor is in the middle of a dance; then the scene cuts to an interview with that dancer commenting on the very dance that's ongoing! There's no logic to that.Finally, the acting is just phenomenally bad. I want to just chalk it up to the actors' youth, but I can't, because there are some pretty terrific child actors around.

I used to watch this show as a teenager when it first came out. I watched season 1-3 but stopped watching starting from season 4. However, I would occasionally watch the show because my younger sister would sometimes be watching it. Recently, I saw it in on TV and decided to give it a shot since the layout seemed to be totally different. Season 5 is probably the reason why I am writing this review. First of all, Emily and Michelle are still in a rivalry after 5 years.. Like where is the character development. And secondly, the entire plot line is the exact same as season 2. The love triangle between Noah, Jacquie and Henry seems like they used the same exact plot and lines from Michelle, Eldon and Hunters season. It made me really wonder if they even have new writers writing the script for the show. Also, it really bothers me that the cast is so not diverse. I don't think they've ever had a diverse cast since season 1. I think its time for them to bring some new ethnicities in as leading cast such as Asians which I think was never portrayed on the show. Honestly, I think its time for the show to go. I doubt teens watch this show anymore. The context is so boring and unrealistic. The acting of the new season 5 cast was horrifying.. I feel like they just pick out attractive dancers who aren't even talented in dancing nor acting, and throw them a script for them to butcher.

I loved this show from the start. First of all, it is Canadian and as we all know, there are hardly any Candian shows, let alone ones that are actually good.This show caught my attention from the start and made me wish I had never stopped dancing at the age of 6. All the dances that they do are amazing, unique and so good. I loved the drama and the the characters in this show, it makes it so interesting. Although the acting could use a bit of work, the actors are truly amazing at dancing.The only thing I'm sad about is the low rating on IMDb. This show is on Family Channel, meaning it is aimed for kids pre-teen to young teen. So if your 26 and don't like it, it was not aimed for you to watch. The rating on this show should be at least an 8, so I'm hoping my vote will bring it up.
