Pros: dancing!! story is good, acting is good...
Cons: um, nothing really very horrible about it...
Summary: I just got back from seeing this movie, and I gotta say I thought it was awesome. The dancing was, of course, fabulous. And the story was good as well. The actors did good jobs, nothing Oscar worthy, nothing too dramatic, but a good job. The story is ... read more

Pros: dancing, dancing, dancing!
Cons: not the best acting
Summary: Not being able to think of anything to do last night, my friend and I decided to go to the movies. While looking through the paper, we came across "Center Stage." We had both seen the commercials and said "ooh, the dancing movie." So ... read more

Pros: Inspiring central plot still works, the actors are refreshing, and the choreography is great.
Cons: Predictable storyline, and the way it neglects important elements along the way.
Summary: In 1980, director Alan Parker hit on an exciting and popular formula with Fame, using an ensemble cast to tell four interlocking stories about aspiring young performers attending the New York City High School for the Performing Arts. Fame was a modest ... read more

Pros: The dancing is good
Cons: Everything else
Summary: This is the weekend that I think a lot of people should be asking 'How low can they go?' This weekend, some films debuted that you can just tell are dogs. Not a single one of the 'big' films released looks like it has the backing of anyone involved, from ... read more

Pros: Incredible dancing every 5 minutes
Cons: Choppy, short dramatic scenes must move the story
Summary: "Center Stage" is a film about a group of young dance students that enter the most prestigious dance academy in the U.S. Life challenges in the areas of the dance classroom, dating scene, eating disorders, and mother daughter relationships ... read more

Pros: Dance is back
Cons: Fame revisited
Summary: Okay, yes, this is Fame for a new generation. But it does differ and offer you one of the best glimpses into the world of ballet since Shirley McLaine's Turning Point.
And we haven't had very many big dance movies in the past 20 years. Let's ... read more

Pros: dancing, actors, music....all great
Cons: dancing, actors, music....is the only thing you get
Summary: I had the luck to watch "Center Stage" during a sneak preview at the Mall of America in Minneapolis and the emphasis is on LUCK, because it's one of the coolest movies ever! Alright, it's not one of the best, but if you like dirty dancing ... read more

Pros: Graceful dancing and an insight into the rigors of ballet
Cons: Formulaic and cliche-filled, mediocre acting
Summary: Think "Fame" meets "The Turning Point" or "The Red Shoes" and you have the concept of this backstage story set at Lincoln Center's prestigious and, at times, pretentious American Ballet Theater. Directed by Nicholas ... read more

Pros: Fabulous Dancing, upbeat film
Cons: A little predictable
Summary: I got free tickets to a premiere of this movie with my dance group. I thought it was great! It is not a teen movie so much as it is a dance movie. I will admit that the plot is somewhat predictable. But the dancing makes it all worthwhile. And ... read more

Pros: Great dancing, shows the cruel world of Ballet
Cons: Teen Flick, no brains needed
Summary: I was never a huge fan of "teen" flicks. I find them to all be the same type of movie, boy meets girl, they fall in love etc etc. This one was pretty much the same thing, Only the romance was the last thing on the character's minds. The movie ... read more

Pros: The dance scenes themselves aren't all that bad
Cons: The dialogue, acting and plot are atrocious, and it goes on for way too long
Summary: Well, I'm back from the teen-movie trenches once again and, as expected, I'm unimpressed.
I know exactly what you're thinking, too -- Andrew, you should have known better. Center Stage postures itself as Dirty Dancing for the ... read more

Pros: Nice ballet.
Cons: It makes me want to puke (and I don't say this about just any film)
Summary: I have to quit soon, or else there will be no place left to go on vacation. It seems like every time I turn around, a movie is filmed on a location that I rather like… only to turn out to be such a terrible movie that I just want to turn tail and run ... read more
