rating: 1 Quotei wanted to give this movie -infinity starsQuote
this movie is awful! spend your time doing something more entertaining such as watching paint dry on cardboard. i found this movie channelscanning on tv and the tv description made it sound good so i watched it. it was actually quite terrible.
the general story is that a girl who loves to dance gets cancer. then she dies. that's basically it.
to sum everything up, if you have a choice between watching this movie and sitting in rush hour traffic, pick the traffic. it won't bore you as much as the movie. August 24, 2008

rating: 2 QuoteA disappointment after reading the bookQuote
If you are purchasing this movie after reading the book, you may find it very disappointing, like I did. It did not do a very god job of portraying it, and some of the additions in the movie rather angered me. The movie itself was not very exciting, I got my friend to watch it with me when I got it (she never read the book) and she found it boring as well. If you can rent, I would definitely do that and save yourself some money. July 19, 2007

rating: 3 QuoteLove it for the dancingQuote
Alrighty so this isn't exactly the best movie when it comes to the story, but at certain points it is definately a tear jerker...I didn't like the relationship that the two girls had with eachother...I kept thinking to myself, why are they friends? It was just odd. And I also didn't like how the best-friend takes the prima dancer's spot and Larissa Olynik didn't have any ANGRY emotion...it was kind of unrealistic in that sense, but don't get me wrong...I don't think it's a bad movie...maybe because I am obsessed with any movie that has to do with dance (even Bring it on). The good things about this movie are the dance scenes...they're incredible so if you're into dance then I suggest watching it. May 9, 2006

rating: 4 QuoteGreat Book.. Great Music and Dancing.. Quote
..But not the best movie I've ever seen. It can be a little depressing watching this wonderful.. perfect.. prima ballerina.. disappear.. dying of cancer. I LOVE the song that larissa's character dances to foe her Julliard audition. It is very inspirational. April 1, 2006

rating: 3 QuoteGood for dancers only...Quote
This movie didn't develop the characters very well. The storyline was rather weak and you couldn't help but feel that the two main characters weren't as close as the writers wanted them to appear to be. As for the dance scenes...EXCELLENT! As a dancer and choreographer, I will buy this movie as a point of reference only. If you're into strong storylines and well developed characters, don't bother. But if you're looking for ideas artistically for dancing, it's a "must have." November 7, 2005
