Critic Reviews
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A refreshingly friendly view of a romance between people of different pigmentation, an area where more respectable pictures still wimp out.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Whatever happened to wanting to dance simply because it's fun?
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Stiles and Thomas supply what this movie needs most: a heartbeat.
-
Susan Stark, Detroit News
It pays knowing respect not only to high school social politics, but also to racial politics among today's young people.
-
Glenn Giffin, Denver Post
The intent is a feel-good film, sort of an American version of Billy Elliot and I didn't believe a minute of it.
