Summary: Always Save the Last Dance
Review: From 10 Things I hate about you to Save the Last Dance, Julia Stiles never seems to disappoint. Her co-star Sean Patrick Thomas can also be credited for his role in Cruel Intentions. Stiles brings her a sense of reality to the movie and you can really begin to relate to her character and the things happening around her.

Sara (Julia Stiles) is left in the not so pretty side of Chicago with her father Roy. Her mother had just died trying to get to her big audition for Julliard. The movie opens on a train, and Sara remembering the time before the train ride. She lives in an apartment with her jazz playing father, and the two don't really get along. In school she meets up with a girl named Chenille and they become instant friends. Chenielle asks Sara to join them in going to a local club named Steppes.

Stiles isn't used to the Hip Hop ways of dance, but Chenielle's brother Derek (Thomas) is quick to ask her to dance. Sara has to get used to the music, but before she can she makes a fool of herself. Derek asks her if she wants to get together some time and work on her moves. They get together and soon Thomas and Stiles are heating up the dance floor. All through the movie you see the tuffness the couples endure and the "predjiduce" that seemed to go along with it. Derek helps Sara realize her dreams and then in the end helps her complete her dreams.

This is a must see movie for ages 13 and up, and an absolute great date movie. So see it and enjoy!

Summary: One of the best movies i have seen in a very very long time!
Review: This movie was a great movie! I watch it again and again. I loved it and i think it has terrific acting! This movie is fantastic! Its about a white girl named Sara who, after her mother dies, quits dancing. Then she has to move to a pretty much all Black town with her father where the styles are very different. Then she meets a boy named Derek and he persuades her to start dancing again, they also start to have a relationship, much to a lot of peoples disapproval. I give this movie 5 stars!!!

Summary: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Review: I absolutely hated this movie. It was extremely slow moving and the story was awful, actually, I shouldn't say that because I don't know the entire story because I fell asleep less than halfway into it (although I'd had a lot of Jolt Cola prior to the start of the movie). Don't waste your time, see something else.

She ends up going to an all black school and meets a black boy there. She loves to dance but gives it up because she blames herself for her mother's death. The black boy wants to go to school and receives a acceptance letter to go to the school he wanted. He then helps change the mind of this girl about ballot dancing.

Summary: A great movie....
Review: This is a great movie!!! The actors are excellent and dance fantasticly!!! If you like movies where there's good music and lots of dancing... This is a movie for you!!! I would say that old people or poeple who are not so much into hip hop and that kind of music shouldn't watch it. But young people certainly would like it!!! The way they talk, they dance and act, it is great!!!! And overall, gurls, the main actor is cute and dances like a god. I'm sure you wouldn't regret it if you bought it!!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: MUST SEE!!!
Review: When I sat down to watch this video I didn't think it would be more than just a chick flick. I was VERY surprised!! It has a great lesson in it of choosing your own path even if it's not the popular choice. Also it shows what determination, practice, & discipline can get you. It also shows the bonds of friendship. I would definitely watch it again.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Julia Stiles portrays Sara Johnson whose dream is to go to Juilliard, but Sara's mother is killed in a car crash on the way to Sara's audition. She is then sent to Chicago to live with her estranged father and to deal with living in a new area and with a school consisting of mostly African Americans. She befriends Chenille who introduces her to Stepps a local dance club. She also befriends Chenille's brother, Derek, who offers to give Sara dance lessons. Derek learns that Sara blames herself for her mother's death and he wants to help her reach her goal to go to Juilliard. This is a terrific movie for the whole family, with great choreography and well built characters, this movie is a must see.
