Excruciating ... an unwieldy hybrid of high school dance competition movie and shameless flag-waver.

First-time director Daniel Duran, working from a screenplay by Oscar Torres that abounds in the maudlin and risible, isn't able to lift the ham-handed material to a place where it might ring true.

C-

If only salutary intentions and one good performance could save a film so fundamentally wrongly conceived.

3/5

It has heartwarming moments and interesting back-and-forth between characters, while keeping its story simple, if a little on the sappy side in the end. Not a bad start to Duran's directing career.

4.5/10

The film turns so overtly melodramatic during its third act that it volleys between a Nicholas Sparks film and Tropic Thunder.

While it hints at something deeper, this slick coming-of-age drama about redemption and reconciliation instead chooses a more formulaic path to catharsis.

The slow start with a story of any kind, then it got worse. It is not worth your time.

Teenage angst alongside dance off competing has certainly been done before, and this film pretty much goes by the numbers rather than trying to offer something new to elevate it above what's gone before.
