Awful, awful film.

People on here are giving this good reviews. Why, exactly? The dancing really isn't that incredible, although it is good. But seriously, this is about as enjoyable as watching a slug crawl from one side of the path to the other. It's really a train-wreck of a film- Tatum looks confused throughout by the simple plot, and doesn't seem to grip this idea of 'acting.' In fact, he all but stumbles through the film- his face or voice rarely changing despite what the script asks for him to do. H... More

Awful

To say this film was crap, would be an insult to the world of faeces. Poor acting, poor dialogue, poor directing, poor casting, poor everything. Why didn't they cast a black actor in the lead role instead of making Channing Tatum put on some awful "Hood" accent and pretend he is "down wit his homies in tha project y'all"? I know, it's because that wouldn't be as photogenic for the americans to stomach. In response to the first comment. Yes, your partner might enjoy this film... More

Loved it

This is Save the Last Dance but without the awkward part where Julia Stiles pretends to be a gangster. Yes, it's predictable, but there are still a few surprise story lines. The dancing in it is PHENOMENAL. And after seeing Channing Tatum in that Amanda Byrnes film I really didnt expect this from him. Definitely for the girls, but I think you're partner might secretly like this too! ... More
