This movie was described as a modern day 'fame'. Maybe that was comparing to completely different movies. I dont know much about ballet or the strict competition to get in, but this movie shows two different sides of the same gendre. Between Maureen who starves herself and is miserable trying to fulfill her mother's dream for her, instead of her own dreams...to Jody who has always dreamed of being a prima ballerina. The fight to get into the American Ballet Company comes with its share of ups and down and lots of scratching and biting. Its a movie of classic versus modern ballet. Its a must see for anyone who loves dancing.
Not high art, and very cliched, "Center Stage" is still a fun bit of fluff, and the dance sequence at the end - while virtually impossible to actually pull off live, is still stunning and fun to watch
one of my favorite falling asleep movies. I love it because of all the good music and the good choreography. You have to have been a dancer to appreciate this movie though.
don't ask me why, but everytime I catch this movie on tv, I always watch it. i just love it. then afterwards, i get horribly depressed because I never became a dancer. and then I hate it. but then it comes on again, and i watch it and fall in love again. i don't know why.
Some of the acting is comical when it shouldn?t be, the plot is predictable, and there are scenes that drag, but I?m really a sucker for these dancing flicks. The ballet, the choreography, the music: awesome.
Every time my friend and i get together we watch this. there is a scene that we die over, this guy is streching and he can kick his leg all the way behind his head its not normal......
center stage was a really great movie! I personally thought that the dancers were just fantastic especially some of the male ones! i love the last scenes when they're dancing to that jamiraqui song, and sh'e in that red leotard thats a great dance scene!
yeah pretty good movie cos i love dancing and movies about dancing but seriously that rauchy lingerie scene in the final performance really ruined the whole movie for me. i mean i couldn't sleep that night
The most amazing, cool and refreshing choreographies ever put on film! Other than that, a dull, regular piece of filmmaking... but the choreographies are simply fantastic!!
5 stars for the dancing... minus 2 stars for being a bad movie.
It was a good movie & had some excellent dancing in it, but there was too much of it for me, especially towards the end. There wasnt much of a plot either, but it still maintains your interest with some jaw dropping moves.
I really enjoyed this movie. My frustrations of having ballet lesson with a cute Russian mentor. Lol!!! The musical score is fantastic... ballet is not just an ordinary world.. it's magical, lovely and even gives you goosebumps.
I love this! I use to be a dancer and this is a great insight into what it takes. The story line is great, the soundtrack fun, and the dancing is incredible
hated it.... it wasnt really that gr8. i reckon its more for girls. the only scene i like is the scene in that hip hop class. i thought it would be waaay better.... but no.
meh, this was okay.
One of the genres I can't STAND is dance movies. I mostly refuse to watch them. But I was peer-presssured into watching this by my cousins, and it was okay. It's not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but its acceptable.
