Summary: More than dancing...
Review: This movie was well written and well cast. Julia Stiles, Sean Patrick Thomas, and the supporting cast brings these characters to life. It so well done, that it doesn't feel like you're watching a movie.

It's more than just a movie about dance. We meet Sara (Julia Stiles) whose dream is to go to Julliard and be a prima ballerina. Because of a life changing event, Sara decides to no longer pursue her dream.

After transferring to a new school and making new friends, Sara decides to share some of her life events with one of these friends, Derrick. This opening up comes about because Derrick has agreed to teach Sara to dance (hip-hop). After she displays a ballet move with attitude, he challenges her.

The challenge is to open up, let go of the hurt, and pursue her dreams. Sara decides to give Julliard another chance.

Sara is faced with the challenge of pursuing her dream, and justifying her romantic relationship with Derrick. During this time, Derrick is challenged with staying true to himself and true to his boy.

Summary: this movie kicks some serious azz!
Review: oh my god ... first of all ... let me start off by saying when i first saw the movie i was embraced by the intelligence of the direction ... it offered me the strength to go on and live my dreamz ... it inspired me to see that sara was able to go to a whole new world and fit in so well and really had no problems adjusting to the new lifestyle of the hip hop era ... i give this movie 5 stars because of the determination the characters showed throughout this movie ... especially chanille ... the way she was able to handle herself quite nicely taking care of her baby with a not-so-supportive father ... i will end this review by saying ... "open up your pretty brown eyes and look the hell around" ... and also ... "holla holla holla"

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Best dance movie
Review: I'd have to say Save the Last Dance is the best dance movie I've ever seen. It's funny, sad, and shocking. It's a movie you could watch over and over again! I would recamend this movie to anyone that enjoys hip hop movies, but i have to say don't get it if you dont enjoy movies that are gang related.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Relevant, Entertaining, Stimulating...
Review: This is the Hip-Hop version of Fame and Flashdance, no doubt about it. The one thing missing is a bucket of water. In this movie, Sara begins the movie giving up her dream of going to the Julliard school of ballet after her mother died in a car accident while Sara was auditioning. Due to the mother's death, Sara had to move in with her father on Chicago's south side. Most of the plot is fairly predictable from there, but the predictability does not detract too much from the movie's timeliness or relevance. In the movie, several issues are raised including single mom teenage parenthood, interracial dating, and a little bit of gang warfare. While the issues brought up are certainly relevant, some of the situations throughout the movie are somewhat idealistic, like an after-school special on TV. In addition, the story ends with at least a few loose strings.

The DVD is great, as it includes some deleted scenes that help tie the story up a bit more neatly. In addition, the music both within the movie and the DVD should please even those who are not too crazy about Hip-Hop music.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 Star Preformance
Review: When I first heard about this movie in theaters I'm thinking "Chick Flick" .... ...I decided to see it and after it was over i thought it was great[.] it couldn't of been more original, and the music was also great. So for all of you people who haven't seen "Save the Last Dance" and are wondering ...It's defintley a must see!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Julia Stiles proves she's not merely two-dimensionsal
Review: I'm not afraid to admit it -- I like Julia Stiles. Ever since Ten Things I Hate About You, I have kept an eye on her and watched most of her releases. And while I have always felt she is a talented actress, her roles usually leave us with an impression of a flat, two-dimensional character.

And then there was Save the Last Dance. Just as Julia's character, Sara, is thrown into a totally new setting, Stiles is thrown into a different role. For the first time, Julia portrays a character affected by deep, complex emotions.

While this movie follows the ever-popular formula for romances aimed at the high school aged female, it manages to have a much wider appeal. Even my fiance enjoyed the movie, watching it not just once but twice. Not bad for a guy who doesn't like a movie unless there are gunfights and explosions!

I have recommended this movie to countless people. I would not hesitate to say that it is among the best releases so far this year!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great romance for couples to see
Review: This is a great movie. That i think teaches people that inter-racial relationships aren't a bad thing. And that if your in love no matter who it is what there race, relgion or anything else it doesn't matter. This movie teaches people something and i think that if you haven't seen it you are missing some important stuff.
