Pros: fun romance; great cast; music is hot
Cons: predictable ending, but so what?

Pros: Real life issues
Cons: not long enough
All right get ready I am going to get all mushy and analyze the heck out of this movie. I am not sure if I saw the same thing as most did, but feel there was a deeper message than just a movies about two teens from different worlds with a few things...

Pros: Great acting courtesy of Julia Stiles.
Cons: Will most likely get lost in the Dirty Dancing comparisons.
Preamble
I've seen this movie advertised for the past three weeks. At first, it looked really interesting. Then, I found out that it was a MTV production. EAK! That's usually the kiss of death in my humble opinion. I skipped going to it...

Pros: story of two people who come together during trying times in their lives
Cons: Malaki doesn't get killed.
Save The Last Dance is an excellent film. Some may think it is just another stupid teen dance film, but such is really not the case.
This film tells the story of two people traveling in opposite directions in life, who come together in most...

Pros: ah, bugger.....
Cons: hmmmm.....acting, storyline, music, um geez well lots really
I have been looking at the header page for this movie, and had noticed that there was an 87% recommendation for this movie. This is inordinately worrying. I am fairly certain that most of these recommendations did not actually take into account the...

Pros: Realistic, Interracial love and real life happenings. Might bring the tears out.
Cons: none
This movie has a little of everything that you could imagine in an interracial relationship. If you bring your date to this movie it will probably bring the tears out, so bring the tissues with. Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas will astound you with...

Pros: Great Acting. An enchanting, modern fairytale story. One of the best movie soundtracks.
Cons: Not the smartest or deepest of films... but it tries.
Here’s something I learned in psychology class: if you go to a bartender and pay him to try his best and write a fervent essay supporting prohibition, his natural stance against prohibition will become less firm afterwards. It’s some elementary...

Pros: many (sarcasm)
Cons: few (sarcasm)
Homer Simpson is to Save the Last Dance what the dictionary definition of stupid is to pap (though both apply). It is contrived, overly-sentimental and whiny garbage that seeks to attract teenage girls and their reluctant companions. It (probably)...

by BARNZ , Jul 25 '01
Pros: The dancing and the actors, especially Julia Stiles
Cons: Would have been better with an R rating, PG-13 it didn't work for me.
When I go to see a movie I rarely walk into the theatre with expectations of what I’m going to see, but I do walk in the theatre wanting to be entertained, scared, or amazed. I may not go to the theatre with expectations, but I do walk into the...

Pros: good soundtrack, ok plot
Cons: some unrealistic details
I love dance movies (with the exception of Dirty Dancing). Flashdance is one of my all time favorites, and being a former ballerina myself, I was excited when Save the Last Dance came to Pay-Per-View and I was able to order it. Being...

Pros: The runtime was less than 2 hours.
Cons: It was close to 2 hours.
Ever find yourself floating in the video store, with that glazed look of lost anticipation. You've seen everything you want to see, and unfortunately, the movies you're eager to view have yet to be released. So, you wander aimlessly through the aisles,...

by CyndiA - Top 50, Jul 24 '01
Pros: Feel good sort of video that makes me want to dance on the furniture.
Cons: Critics think it is kaka. But, they haven't danced on my coffee table.
I am a hopeless dance movie romantic. We have one GREAT dance movie about every ten years. There was Fame when I was in high school and then Flashdance after that. Now here’s Save the Last Dance. You might think I am getting...

by kknox0616 , Sep 10 '01
Pros: Winning performances of Stiles, Thomas and Washington, effective social commentary bolstered by spirited soundtrack
Cons: At times contrived, pat ending, scenes with Kerry Washington were cut from film (see DVD)
I love to dance. It's true, I do. As a little kid, I used to hop around the room singing, shaking my groove thang while listening to the Grease and Xanadu soundtracks and thoroughly embarrassing myself when someone would...

by sweetcece - Top 100, Jan 13 '06
Pros: Hip Hop music scenes are good, music is upbeat.
Cons: Character development is weak and needs reality check.
Having been a resident of the Old South all my life I watched Save The Last Dance with interest. I found it amazing that a movie would attempt to create a romance between a white teenaged girl and black teenaged boy. Would this be believable? ...
