    Could be better but satisfied.

    Before watching this movie, I expected nothing but dances, it did not disappoint me. We all know what BoA and Derek Dough can do. It makes you wonder what chemistry an Asian pop star can make with a ballroom dancing master.

    This movie has given modern dances a new definition. It is not an era with just hip hop dances anymore. It shows you tap dances and dances with drums(Cobu) could be the next "hit thing" as well.

    Let's be frank though, the story is weak, like I expected. Characters have minimal interactions, I almost couldn't feel the relationship between them. If you are looking for a movie with a well organized flow of story line, sorry you can probably skip this title.

    It really depends on which perspective you use to view a movie, to decide whether or not it's worth your time. I watched this movie entirely for the chronography, and of course, BoA and Derek Dough. If that's something you are looking for as well? Go for it.

    dance moments

    dance, love, version of Romeo and Juliet. and a lot of clichés, unrealistic situations, scenes who must be impressive who are only nice or boring. the purpose seems be to show a great chain of dance moments. ignoring the story, who becomes only a sketch. but, it is a big problem - the dance is not really enough. and , using this basic truth, the film remains only one of too many titles about dance moments in easy films about nothing. except, maybe, the fans of Derek Hough who tries do a decent work but entire his effort has the status of improvisation.

    Lack Luster

    Let me start by saying this that I had never heard about this movie before and it was pure coincidental and through the divine intervention of internet browsing that I bumped into it. Followed by watching the trailer and impressed by the dance moves shown, I decided to watch the movie "make your move" or in words "Romeo and Juliet in step up"

    Those who loved step up, street dance and all other dance movies would surely love this because, yes the movie has a lot of dance moves that will make your jaw drop but is that enough to make you watch the movie….hmmm… totally depends on your patience level

    The movie story is totally romeo and Juliet (if you have missed my hints in the above two paragraphs) having kids from two rivaling clans falling for each other and surviving through the hatreds and rivalry but sadly the movie does not explore much on the romance quotient which I guess is acceptable considering that this is in whole a dance movie.

    The good points is definitely the music and dance routines and having professional dancer (Derek hough) and musician (BOA) for lead characters do actually make it better but can they pull off a story other than dance routines….sadly ..for me…no..

    There is no plot to the movie per say and whatever story is there kind off runs like a marathon and too fast for you to actually cope up… the movie pretty much follows a strict regime which is 5 min story 15 min dance routine and this follows throughout the movie but nevertheless I loved it for being a sweet chick flick and most of all for the dance routines. Its fine unless you are expecting a through and through entertainer

    The movie has no plot and whatever plot is actually taken from the usual Disney movies and threaded together to narrate an obvious story. You will predict everything from the moment the titles starts showing up but the movie has some real good dance sequences that kind of is worth the pain

    NIce one

    I went to watch this film to Croatia from Hungary because that was the nearest place where I could watch it. And because Derek Hough is my favorite American dancer and I wanted to see him on the big screen. And that trip is worth it, of course! The story is usual, average. A girl meets a boy, their families are enemies so Romeo and Juliet love story on big screen. And they need to fight for their love. And refuse someone else's love. :) But they have a nice and touchy moments. There are great, outstanding dances and choreographs. I had favorite movements immediately while I watched. Scenes are good as the rest of the cast. And the music is also very, very good. So, all in all, it is a great film! Definitely worthy to see it. Once I would like to see it in 3D. That would be awesome. :)

    Awful dance flick

    I gotta admit the only reason I decided to watch this movie, is because I like dance flick and because it has Boa in it. Despite it having Boa, this movie was super disappointing. The dance scenes just didn't stand out and the romantic elements was too drawn out and boring to watch. I get that they were trying to go for that Romeo and Juliet direction revolving modern setting and dance. But it falls short in every level, including the acting. I know they were trying, but it just came off super cheesy. Some 12 or 13 year old girls might be cool with this flick, but I just can't see how anyone could enjoy this sappy, cliché, drawn out dance/romance flick. I think the only reason I kept watching was to do this review and because to see how Boa would do in a motion picture. And again the dance scenes has nothing spectacular. I am not shocked why this flick bombed in box office.
