Oh. A dance movie - modern wiggly leaping about dancing to a soundtrack of rap, hip hop and bangbox music, with a story about streetdancers forced to join forces with a class of ballet dancers.
Let's get something straight - I'm not a fan of dancing, neither ballet nor street, and I'm fat and 57 - I don't do dancing (which may be one of the reasons I don't care for it). Also I don't care for music falling into those styles. So why did I go and see it? Because it's in 3D, and I'm a sucker for 3D.
But d'you know, I really enjoyed it. There's nothing in it plot-wise which you haven't seen in a hundred other movies, but that didn't matter - it's a feelgood story about underdogs learning to work together and coming out on top.
Some of the acting is a bit ropy, but it has two things working strongly for it. One is Nichola Burley. Her acting slips from time to time, but she conveys tough vulnerability well, and she is both cute and hot at the same time. And the other is the dancing. It still isn't my thing, but by heck, it's impressive. And the final sequence is well done.
Oh, and the 3D isn't bad either.
