        This was my sister's favorite movie for the longest time, so if it wasn't for her I probably would have never seen this movie. So with that said, it is engaging and a good storyline. Everything you would expect from a typical teen drama film though.

        I like that this dance movie boasts several full-length performances of imaginative pieces, not just heavily cut snippets. Amanda Schull is a bit dull as an actress, and how does Jody know that Cooper won't recant his offer if she doesn't sleep with him? Zoe Saldana is brassy and tough.

        Loved it, wish I saw it when I was in high school. I loved Zoe Saldana's sassy character, Peter Gallagher looks beautiful at any age. I think anyone who is serious about ballet should see this film first, lol
