Save the Last Dance

Above all, this is a movie where the characters ask the same questions we do: They're as smart about themselves as we are.

This is a spirited, dirty dance between the polished inauthenticity of Hollywood romance-musicals and hip-hop's central tenet: keeping it real. It's an intriguing combination, if nothing else.

Bland but poised.

Takes its cues from the musical dramas of the '70s, but this otherwise engaging young-adult romance never quite catches Saturday night fever.

The result is more like an epic "After School Special" -- preachy, runny and oddly warm.

The disjointed plotting and afterschool-special dialogue offer scant opportunity for the charismatic leading duo to work up much chemistry.

Recycles every cliché of the genre to sleep-inducing effect.

La trama es genérica y poco novedosa; pero está bien y entretiene, la recomiendo.

Several dances were shown before this movie. Hence, why the title is called, "Save the Last Dance." Unlike most users that decides to give this one a 10 for no reason at all, I ACTUALLY found problems wrong with this movie and it's not a great kind of problem at all.
