Aside from the dance sequences this movie is solely reliant on the chemistry between the two main characters, Jessica and Jake. The problem is the performance by Tom Malloy, as Jake, is without emotion or range. Amy Smart (Jessica) has much promise as she twists her way through romantic entanglements and learning to dance professionally but she can only do so much to save this romance from feeling forced and stale. There is just not enough of anything to keep you in the moment and to feel something is happening you want to experience.

If you are in the mood for music and dancing this film will satisfy. With a combination of competitive dancers and newbies it provides for a much needed dose of energy in the story.
