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

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

    I absolutely loved this movie. It's inspirational in a sense, and is the only 'chick flick' I've watched more than once.

    This is the coolest movie ever i really like the dancing, it proves that no matter what color you are you can be accepted, i mean she was acceptd before she learned how they are she fit in right away she just had to open up and once she did everyone realized how great of a person she was. What an amazing movie, i really likes the song true colors it was inspiring and i liked the part which is my favorite is where sara and derek do the competition dance that was so cool and i learned that dance.… Expand
