VHS Movie Reviews of Save the Last Dance (Special Edition) [VHS]
Movie Review: Flashdance clone with some great dancing!
Summary: 4 Stars
Good dancer quits dancing. She makes new friends. They encourage her to dance again. She tries out, and...
Sound familiar? This one, Save The Last Dance, involves hip-hop and ballet, and brings some minor racial tension into the mix. People get pulled in different directions, and some make the right choice, while others do not.
If I tried to estimate the amount of dancing in Flashdance versus this movie, I think there was more dancing in Flashdance. It could be that ballet is just less memorable in a movie.
The story is fairly predictable, but enjoyable.
Movie Review: save the last dance.
Summary: 5 Stars
Are you a dancer? Do you have a dream you just don't think you can do anymore? Save the last dance is an emontional ride through sarah Johnson's life, from her living with her mother; to moving to Philadelphia with her fatherwhen her mother passes away. Sarah does not want to dance anymore because of her mothers death, when she meets a boy at school named Derek who pushes her to finish her dream to become a ballet dancer at Julliard. When you watch this movie you will want to finish what you always wanted to do, this movie pulls you in from the very start. You'll understand everything Sarah's going through when her life changes for good.
-Shauna Cunningham
Movie Review: Nice Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. I waS really happy to be able to get this tape and have it for my own personal collection. I like the story as it shows that love transends all, black or white, the person themselves, and the love that they share is what is most important. Skin color really means nothing.Movie Review: Don't have it, but will get it soon...
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie don't have it yet, but my mother has it and I watched it several times, and I have to say that it's one of my faves.Movie Review: starring columbia university alumnus julia stiles....
Summary: 4 Stars
three and a half stars...
white bread white girl meets streetwise black guy who has a lot going for him. they start out sparring like tracy and hepburn, then discover they have a common interest: dance. they fall in love, but not without facing opposition from friends and family...but they get it together in the end....
i could predict the ending an hour into the movie and yet i kept watching becuase i like interracial films and i like julia stiles...i watched this solely for julia and sean patrick thomas....their star-crossed lovers were easy to get into and like...the other characters were stereotypes....the thug-life types; the white girl who think she's black; the ex-girl-friend who doesn't like seeing black men with white women; the single mom; the deadbeat dad. julia and sean were enough to make this movie work and that was all it needed...
Summary of Save the Last Dance (Special Edition) [VHS]
Save the Last Dance enjoyed a profitable release in early 2001, with box-office earnings that exceeded anyone's expectations. Its performance illustrates the staying power of a formulaic movie that avoids the pitfalls and clich?s that would otherwise render it forgettable. Since there's nothing new here, you'll appreciate the original quirks in a character-based plot that's just around the corner from Flashdance, and just as familiar. Sara (Julia Stiles) gave up a promising ballet career when her mother was killed while rushing to attend her daughter's crucial audition to Juilliard; Sara blames herself for the accident, and at her new, mostly African American high school in Chicago, she's uncertain of her future.Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas) has no such doubts; his own future is bright, and his attraction to Sara is immediate; they connect (predictably), and Sara's dormant funk emerges, with Derek's coaching, as she learns hip-hop dancing in a local club. Obligatory subplots are equally routine: Derek's sister (Kerry Washington) is a single mom struggling with her child's absentee father; Derek's best friend (Fredro Starr) feels trapped in his gangsta lifestyle; and Sara's once-estranged father (Terry Kinney) is doing his best to correct past mistakes. Within the confines of this standard follow-your-dream drama, director Thomas Carter capitalizes on a script that allows these characters to be real, intelligent, and thoughtful about their lives and their futures. It's obvious that Stiles's dancing was intercut with that of a professional double, but that illusion hardly matters when the rest of the movie's so earnestly positive and genuine. --Jeff Shannon
