    Charming and cute story about kids dancers making it big in a small quiet town.

    Feel the Beat (3 out of 5 stars).

    Feel the Beat is a cute fair family film. When big shot dancer April (Sofia Carlson) blows an audition that turns bad. She moves back home to a small town where she tries to teach and coach a bunch of young girls dancers. Soon enough, they make go on a competition tour.

    The plot is cute and charming. It can be predictable with its story. April lost the big leagues in dancing. And teaches a group of girls that has yet to compete. The girls and April do not easily get along. When the girls are looking up to her. But April is critical. She also runs into her former boyfriend which she ran out on cause she wanted to move to the city. And he stayed in there home town.

    The direction and script is cheesy. With cheesy dialgoue. Can be cringing with its direction. But it tries to have a lot of fun.

    Sofia Carlson is good with the role. She is fun. Charming. And beautiful.

    Unlikable main character

    I didn't like this film at all, because the main character shouts at children. She's just full of herself, and I can't stand her.

    Just do it

    This is a nice feel-good inspiring movie for the whole family.

    Yes, it's another one of those "A former star helps misfits do *something* and they rock it" type of movie, but as if anyone cares, we're here to spend an evening eating ice-cream and trying to relax, nobody expects it to be an Oscar-material. And the movie just does its job as goof as possible. The kids are adorable and acting pretty good, the plot is cheesy and predictable but still cute, funny and not Hallmark-level predictable. The lead actress is gorgeous doing a great job performing a rather complex and unlikable character.

    Really enjoyed watching it, actually almost didn't stop it to look at the phone, so would recommend it!

    Thanks for making my Father's Day!

    It's hard to find a feel good film these days. And as a father of three young daughters I appreciate this film. It was fun, clean and beautiful!
