Summary: Center stage
Review: This movie was very good. After i saw it the first time i bought it and watched it over again. My favorite part was the dance at the end when the two guys are fighting over the girl and at first i thought they were really fighting until i realized it was part of the play like dance. I am glad at the dicision she made at the end. Overall i thought the movie was great and advise everyone to watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: Center Stage is a great movie! It is a very inspiring movie that takes u to other places! Its a movie for all people of all ages! When I saw it I feel in love with the movie b/c I use to be a ballerina and when I saw the movie it made me want to dance again!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dance 10, looks 3
Review: Great dancing, and what is probably a good look at the "inside story" of dance training. However - the acting is stiff, dialog cornball, characters stereotyped and plot as predictable as the sunrise.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: it's all about the dancing
Review: the plot is horrible and the acting isn't all that great (considering that the leads are primarily dancers.) this movie had great potential but unfortuately fell short. the dance sequences are amazing, especially the last one. and i would have to say that it is a bit of a chick-flick (charlie is one to definitely keep an eye on), the males out there can appreicate dancing at its finest.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Inspiring cheese...
Review: I watched this movie while procrastinating my studies, and I have to say that I found this VERY chick-flicky but very inspirational. The plot is contrived as anything...the naive new ballerina Jody Sawyer (played by real life ballet dancer Amanda Schull) gets accepted to the premier ballet school in New York, feels inadequate compared to her technique-saavy classmates, ends up sleeping with a cocky choreographer, gets screwed over by him, and ends up stealing the show in the end...AND getting the nice guy to boot.

Other cast members are as equally contrived..."Maureen", the prima donna bulemic who ends up finally getting a real life and realizing she hasn't been dancing for the right reasons. "Eve" the girl with the attitude and a heart of gold who ends up with as equally contrite a happy ending as Jody. All in all, the typical recipe for your standard chick flick.

What sets this apart...the dancing! It is great that they cast actual ballet dancers in this movie. It lends both credibility and a breath of fresh air to the film (I can't imagine if they tried making the entire cast actors; it would have been totally fake and ridiculous to watch). Featuring both a principal (the callous "Cooper Nielson") and a corps dancer (the TOTALLY hunky "Charlie") from the actual American Ballet Theater, you get a real glimpse of what ballet really is up close. Just watching it will make you want to work harder at whatever you do....these dancers work their tails off!

The DVD also features Mandy Moore's video for the theme ("I Wanna Be With You") as well as bios for some of the cast and a very brief and uninformative featurette on the movie. All in all, not Oscar material but a good break from reality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: I watched this upon the insistance of my 17 year old daughter. What a lovely film. It held my attention throughout and I could relate easily with it. The acting was superb and I got a glimpse of how a ballerina's life really is, not all glit and glamour. It's a good bonding movie for mother-daughter or just about anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is awsome!
Review: I was so amazed by the talent and skill that every dancer possessed but the one draw back of the film was the lack of acting ability among some. The filming and choreography were amazing. I recommend this is film to any aspiring persons, or hopless romantics!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: 'Center Stage' is a fantastic movie! Not only does it have great music, and great dancing, but it also has a fantastic plot! Its great for anyone who is a dancer or for anyone who ever wondered what goes on in front of those gigantic rehearsal mirrors before they hit the stage! It was also a nice surprise to see Ilia Kulik in it too!! 'Center Stage' truely had me dancing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Dance Movie
Review: I highly reccomend this movie for people who are really into dancing. They do use lots of ballet terminology, I have previous ballet knowledge which made it easier for me to understand than it would for someone with none. But, I would have to say this is one of my favorite movies!
