Lo que salva a la película de ser un fracaso total, son las sólidas actuaciones de Stiles y Thomas.

Reviews for Save the Last Dance
A surprisingly effective piece of work.
07/03/01
As MTV movies go, it's got decent work in it, thanks entirely to Stiles, Thomas, and the fact that there are almost no adults in the picture.
06/14/01
It ain't deep, but that's okay. If we can't all just get along in the real world, it's nice to pretend for a few hours that we can.
04/16/01
It's just a pity for the actors and the audience that the theme of conquering one's background, prejudices, and limitations has to be spelled out in block capitals.
04/16/01
As original as the foxtrot and as profound as a Janet Jackson video clip, this film is also immensely watchable and likeable.
04/09/01
Patronising hybrid of a myriad of other teen movies. Don't bother, just watch them instead.
03/30/01
..less self-conscious and more willing to brave the stress and uncertainty of narrowing the racial divide in movies.
03/24/01
This movie recognizes the value of dance and of love. I walked out of the theater feeling very happy.
03/19/01
... a worthwhile film that’s an unusually honest portrayal of teen life.
02/13/01
The production disappoints both as modern-day dance film and Jungle Fever redux.
02/07/01
There's a nice little dance movie waiting to step out of Save the Last Dance. Unfortunately, the story keeps tripping it up.
02/07/01
Though the movie suffers from cornball plot twists and clunky dialogue here and there, it stays true to itself... an admirable trait.
02/07/01
Whatever happened to wanting to dance simply because it's fun?
02/07/01
As one might expect from a film credited as an 'MTV production,' Save the Last Dance is one-half realistic portrayal of youth, and one-half pure cinematic pablum.
02/07/01
[Has] two really good performances by their respective leads.
02/07/01
Stiles and Thomas supply what this movie needs most: a heartbeat.
02/06/01
Top CriticQuite a bit smarter, and more entertaining, than the majority of what some people call teenybopper flicks.
01/30/01
In the spirit of all MTV-spawned productions, Save the Last Dance is a trite amalgamation of themes and scenes from other, more interesting, movies.
01/15/01
Overall, Save the Last Dance profits from well-developed principals, a vigorous sound track provided by Mark Isham, and a feel for the grit and warmth alike of an otherwise impoverished neighborhood.
