To the Beat!

These kinds of products look like the work of production companies who offer to the parents of aspiring starlets the chance to finance their own starring vehicles, with the help of their relatives and friends and hiring some pros past their prime, like a vanity project available to whoever can pay the bills. If that's the case, the absence of casting executives make possible to put on screen people without any kind of experience and/or talent, keeping the pretense that this is more than a glorified dance academy gala.

Now that movie equipment isn't as expensive as two decades ago it's possible to create the resemblance of a profesional work even with low resources, distributing this kind of flicks in second tier streamings maybe to comply with contracts.

The result is an amateurish flick like this one and many others available here and there. Watch it if you don't have nothing else to do some day.

My teen daughter wanted to watch this. I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course it had some over the top acting which is so common in this genre, but the situations and setup were more believable than most. I found myself actually laughing at some of the scenes, where it was intended. I will be more than happy to watch this again with her.

My 9 year old loves this movie. It's cute but I couldn't handle the acting. Looks like they live in a massive house in the Hollywood hills but the single Mom needs two jobs to pay the bills. Wouldn't want to sell that house and live within your means so you have more time for your kids or anything. Yes I realize it's made up but come on people.

I would have probably given this movie a 3 or 4 because it has the tween movie pass. But the rating was SO HIGH! there is no way this movie is a 7!.

I enjoy kids and teen movies every once in a while and understand there is some cringing in plot points and acting. But this movie is just beyond they typical tween film.

You can tell they wanted dancers not actors because the acting was just absolutely horrendous.

I really couldn't get past it.

Everything else was fine but seriously. Bleh.

As a no American, everything was going well UNTIL it had the scene with the kids talking to their MOTHER about their Dad and as usual, American writers had to include the sickening thing about someone being in the Military which has NOTHING to do with a Dance film, ugh, no one outside of the USA cares about it.
