Slammin’? Kinda….
Let’s get one thing straight. Teen movies are starting to get unbearable. So it is a relief when something like “Save the Last Dance” comes along and offers something up that’s just a little off of redundancy. There seems to be a lot going on here, with the main characters dealing with everything from death of loved ones to single parenthood to racial issues. You don’t see THAT often in teen movies! But what it really comes down to is DANCE! Julia Stiles plays a former ballet dancer whose dreams are self-imposingly dashed by a tragic event, and the rest of the movie is about her re-chasing her dream in totally different circumstances than what she’s used to (mainly: being the only white girl in a rough Chicago all-black neighbourhood). The movie does touch upon a lot of issues, as previously mentioned, but none of them are explored enough to give the film a lot of substance. What does make the film somewhat enjoyable is the dance sequences and the performances. There seems to be a real chemistry between Stiles (who’s great in everything she does!) and Sean Patrick Thomas, who is really talented! I’ve only seen him in supporting roles, but this film shows he can be a leading man. The scene stealer award goes to Kerry Washington, who is so much fun in every one of her scenes. I hope to see a lot more of her in the future. IN A NUTSHELL: It’s good to see a teen film that deals with more issues than just prom dates, and it will make you think, but it’s not deep enough to be more than just a “dance” movie in the same vain as “Centre Stage” and “Dirty Dancing”, culminating in long dance routine by Stiles, and when the routine is over, everything is resolved. Are all the issues REALLY resolved? Only in Hollywood!! Skippy’s Rating: 7/10
A very good dance flick.
Save The Last Dance is a 2001 Paramount Pictures film and tells the tale of a inspiring ballerina named Sara(played by Julia Stiles from 10 Things I Hate About You)who gives up her life as a ballerina as her mother died in a fatal car crash leaving her to grief over her mother and move to a new town with her step dad Roy(well she doesn’t call him dad so I prosume his her stepfather). Sara goes to a new school that’s mixed race and meets a girl called Charlene(played by Kerry Washington)and her handsome brother Derek(played by Sean Patrick Thomas)who Sara later falls for.Derek helps Sara accomplish her dream again to go to Julliard and become a ballerina as she told him that she was the one to blame for her mom’s death and so he decides to teach her some hip hop dancing in an old building that’s set to be renewed.Together with the help of Hip Hop dancing and ballet can Sara ever get the chance to do what she dreamt of doing.
Predictable yet familiar to Step Up,Save The Last Dance is a very entertaining flick and it should get more than 5.9 out of 10 on IMDb. I didn’t see this film since it was on TV years ago and I got it on DVD yesterday for a bargain at PLAY and I decided to watch it 10 Min’s ago.
My main issue is the way they treat white people and call them trashy and whatever and Derek’s mix doesn’t want him to be with Sara because she’s not colored like him,now that is pure racism but still this movie was very good.
A 7 out of 10.
