Summary: C'mon... This should have been six stars!
Review: Both Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas put in a five-star performance in a film, which is clearly a cut and paste job from popular films of the past. The story begins by wandering badly, shooting convoluted subplots that lead the viewer nowhere. Several times I turned this movie off and walked away from it. Usually I won't waste my time on a flick that doesn't get moving; but, having seen Julia Stiles in past films, I kept returning for another go. Finally, one hour into the film, a thread takes shape and Stiles gets to show her exceptional talent for drama; it's a talent she owns, no doubt about that. Thomas also does a great job in support of Stiles, and a handful of scenes ring true and clear. To me, those scenes were the whole movie. I'll watch it again, but only after I fast-forward to the one-hour mark.

What intrigues me is the opportunity this film missed: it should have explored further, the romantic relationship between Derek (Thomas) a black high school student and Sara (Stiles) one of the few white female students in Derek's school. In their roles, they depict two very intelligent students who have fallen in love, but the treatment of their relationship is shallow and lacks depth.

The resources were there to do something great. Was it the screen writer the director, or both --- who yank the viewer around for an hour and then get a thread going, only to weave it through boring cliches. Fortunately, both Stiles and Thomas have great futures in store for them and I hope that soon, they'll be offered roles that challenge their strengths to the limit. This film fell way short in that department.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is off the heazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: "Save the Last Dance" is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The acting is great and so are the tunes. I really think that this movie will open up peoples eyes and help them see that the skin tone don't matter. Just the love for one another. Stiles does a great job and so does Thomas. I really like his character. He inspired me to try harder in life and love. Overall, this movie is a must see for anyone. I gave it 4 stars because...oh, what the heck. 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Perfect
Review: I wish that I never saw the movie, so that I could see it again. If you like classic Romeo and Juliet stories, then you are going to love this one. It's about a girl who looses her mom, and she was on her way to Julliard, to become a prima ballerina. When her mom passes on she has to go to the southern part of Chicago. But her quick comebacks and snappy remarks make her friends with Chenielle. Chenielle becomes a good friend and takes her to STeppes a hang out. Sara (Julia Stiles) has no idea how to dance to hip hop, and CHenielle's brother Dereck shows her how. They learn that they have something more than a love of dance.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: unimaginative
Review: Dull and unimaginative - a truely poor script that will surprise no one as you have worked out the whole story after the first five minutes. So poor, who puts up the money to make these things?

Summary: The best movie I have seen all year! by Emily
Review: This movie is of course a chick flick with some action, gangs, and dancing mixed in! I have seen about 20 movies in the theater this year but this one was by far the best! The story tells of a young teenage girl who just lost her mother and has to move in with her father who she hasnt seen for almost her whole life. Upon her mother death she gives up dancing beacause she says"thats the one thing her mother really wanted." Her dad lives in a all black neighborhood. She has to learn almost a new way of life. Theres a new way of dress,new way of speach,and the fact that crime is accepted. On the first day of school she makes new friends and falls in love. This is a great movie if you believe in mixed couples (like i do)I think that this movie really sends a message about that to all its viewers. I think that Sean Thomas gives a wonderful performance but Julia Stiles is not to good her acting is pretty poor in this movie! Also if you are a adult and have teen children this is a great movie for teens! I am a teen myself and it was the most talked about movie at our school. Also I know for a fact that this movie stayed in theaters for about 2 or 3 months now that has to mean something. Also know of alot of adults who liked it too! So purchase they best movie I have seen all year!
