As far as predictable movies go ... well this is up there! No pun intended, but you can see where this is going. Actually you don't even need to see, you just know (also the music works - even if you have your eyes closed). Still there is an energy and a passion and a love for music and dancing here, that is hard to escape. Unless you are a cynic ... actually I am one ... sometimes, so I totally understand if this is too sugarcoated for your taste.
All that aside the rhythm and structure of the movie move along fine - and yes things are way too easy at certain points and the tough love aspect the male mentor is showing our female love interest ... actually his love interest, might feel wrong to some ... but hey we are all different aren't we? So suspend your disbelief if you can and just dance... express yourself any way you can, doesn't have to be professional. Go on ... enjoy.
