Maarit L @Komedienne Jan 12 I love this movie Oh so very much. See more Frederick B @Frederick212 Dec 14 I hadn't seen this since I was a kid. I loved it even more from an adult perspective. I honestly don't get any negative reviews. I thought it was great. The only negative was that the actor that played Leroy was flaming pretty hard so it was very tough to believe the character was straight. They probably should have gone with a different actor. It seemed weird. I think the character was supposed to be a rough street kid but he acted more feminine than the character that was supposed to be gay. See more Adam S Mar 29 This over-ambitious film is more like an extended trailer for the forthcoming television series (which I admittedly haven't watched, yet). I tries to cram so much material that it doesn't give characters a natural opportunity to develop or bring storylines to actual resolutions. The music, choreography, and acting are all good, but I found the end result less than satisfying. See more Caleb D 10/21/2024 A very realist and disarmingly relatable movie, in spite of a few cringe moments. See more Shari F 07/26/2024 As 100% card carrying stuck in the 80s gen Xer it should be no surprise that I adore this film! I was just 10 when it came out but I remember desperately wanting to see it in the theater. I was an indulged only child who saw a lot of movies I should not have, alas this was not one had to wait till I was about 13 to finally get my hands upon it on VHS. Let's start with the unbe-freakin-lievable soundtrack which is the main reason I wanted to see it in the theater so much. The title song was just one monster hit that had me dancing in my bedroom. Irene Cara sings the H E double hockey sticks out of the aforementioned theme song. She also bings complexity and relatability to her character Coco. She Is a aspiring young dancer/actor who makes numerous sacrifices to get into an make it through 4 years at a extremely competitive New York Performing Arts High School. The movie follows Coco and several other students through their audition at the school all the way through graduation. The students were all played by virtual unknowns at the time including Cara ( who went on a few years later to record What A Feeling a huge hit from another 80s classic FlashDance) All of them shine but the other absolute scene stealer is Gene Anthony Ray as Leroy an incredible dancer who through sheer talent and dumb luck breezes his way through auditions an into the school. Ray is one of the most amazing dancers I have ever seen on any stage or screen just his dance scenes all are worth watching this movie. The writing, the choreography, and seamless blend of drama and musical make this a can't miss watch. Especially for 80s and teen See more Ionela C 04/20/2024 Absolutely beautiful. Well done See more Read all reviews
