What does the like of Save the Last Dance, Stomp the Yard, Step Up, Honey and many countless dance flick have in common? They are all basically have the same storyline/plot... and this movie isn't any different... you can say that this is just a chinese version of hollywood dance flicks... The film tells the story of a young girl from a small chinese village that get the chance to start a career as a professional dance in the big city... sound familiar eh?
anyway... though Stephen Chow is the producer of this movie, you hardly see any scene that has Stephen Chow signature/trait in it... even the comedy weren't really up to what you might expect from a Stephen Chow movie... so if you're expecting this to be like any Stephen Chow's previous movies, then you might end up being disappointed...
acting-wise, i didn't really think anyone standout actually... can't help feeling like they weren't doing they're 100% into the movie... i don't know... that's just how i personally feel... and since this is a dance flick, i'll touch into the choreography too... though i don't know much about dancing, but i feel the dance aren't really up to the flick produced by hollywood... some of the dance i felt were kinda old... and in the final scene, in a dance battle between Kitty Zhang's school vs a group from South Korea, the standard of the dance between the two countries are very noticeable... i guess, that is why South Korea have one of the best dancer group in Asia...
Overall, personally, this movie would be better being watched on DVD/CD rather than cinema... i rate this movie at 6.5 out of 10... if you expect this to be like any of Stephen Chow's previous movie, i think you might end up giving this movie a 5 out of 10... if you still insist of watching it at the cinema, then i suggest you to watch it at weekday... i don't think its worth watching at weekend price...
