a feel good movie

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! It might be a boy meet girl story, but this movie is a cute, upbeat film. William Ash is great in this movie & I cannot wait to see him in something else. Keri Russell's accent did throw me off quite a bit, but all in all a cute family film.

Not that bad

I am usually sick of movies like this one, but for some reason, I was a bit entertained by this one. Maybe (as someone already mentioned) because it reminded me of my days back to high school. Who knows? I think that the story is a bit different than in other movies with the similar content. For example, I expected that it would be a classic love-teenage-sweet story (or whatever),and that they would just appear in the competition and win it. But I was completely wrong, and was a bit surprised with what happened at the competition. I agree about the most comments regarding poor dancing, Latino music etc, but I am not a big fan of all these things so that I didn't care much about it. Another thing that I liked, and that differs from the stereotype, is the place - Belfast, and lack of glamour and high-class houses, expensive cars, etc (except very few scenes). In summary, I give 7 to this movie, although it might be too high and not fair comparing to some other really great movies. But again, who cares. Cheers.

Clichéd

It's nice. It's harmless. The leads are winsome and William Ash seems to be able to play football. Pity he apparently cannot dance. This is a big handicap in a film that's meant to be, at least in part, about dancing. (See title!) We never get the climactic dance sequence that should be there. The scene in the football stadium is filmed to avoid showing footwork as much as possible -- for all too obvious reasons.

Somebody seems to have thought: 'Billy Elliot' is a hit. So was 'Gregory's Girl' back in the 80s. Let's add a touch of 'Strictly Ballroom' and, hey, we'll have a whole new film! Hm.

No marks for originality, then, but it is mildly entertaining.
