STREETDANCE
I saw the trailer for this when it was first released and the first thing I thought was "this looks terrible". How many dance movies can they make? They all seem the same to me...and I was right. This is nothing different.
The movie is about a street dance troupe that are trying to make it into the finals of a dance competition, but their leader has left and they have nowhere to rehearse... until they get told they can rehearse in a ballet class as long as they teach their ballerinas to street dance too.
The story was nothing new... OK so this time you have ballet dancers trying to street dance, but that was nothing great. The ballet dancers just acted very stuck up and the street dancers just had bad attitudes. None of the characters were very likable. Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike them, but I wasn't really rooting for anyone.
The movie stars Nichola Burley, Richard Winsor & Charlotte Rampling. The chemistry between the cast was pretty convincing. I suppose the main reason most people went to see this was because when this came out street dance was a big thing thanks to Britain's Got Talent. This film features some of the dancers from BGT. George Sampson was in it for a while, but I was disappointed in his main dance in the movie. I thought his audition on BGT was better. The champion dancers in the film were another street crew from BGT named Flawless. Flawless were very good on BGT and in this. Their dancing was very good and entertaining. But the main draw for me was knowing that Diversity were going to be in it. For me, Diversity were the best dancers that BGT have seen. They are still very big now and are still touring to massive crowds. They were in the movie very briefly, but their performance was the best.
The movie was not the worst dance movie I have seen, but it was not good either. The most annoying this was the ending. The movie did not end. It explained nothing! The final dance routine was not that entertaining either. I thought the final dance would have been a lot better than it was. I can't dance, so I am not slagging off their talents, i just think the choreography could have been better.
I will give this film 4 out of 10.
