    Surprisingly Excellent...

    by ejbj24

    Not just another dance movie... Well, it is, kind of... But it has excellent acting as well and a compelling story line. It brings in an element that other "Dance" genre movies have lacked... YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS!!! Of course it has all the great moves and fast pace camera editing we've come to expect from this kind of film but the South African Gumboot style of step sets it worlds apart from Stomp the Yard or other such movies. Rich history and amazing choreography makes it a visually stimulating film. As a dancer/stepper myself, I was impressed with the skill presented by the actors/dancers in this movie. I wasn't bored once. This surprised me. I was going to let this one wait until DVD or the discount movie theatre but I'm happy that I didn't. A must see for any dancer or fan of dancing and culture. Enjoy! HOW SHE MOVE will move you...! ~Blessings~

    Okay Movie

    by Diamondgirlmovies

    This movie was okay but wasn't exactly what I expected it to be. I suppose I'm a little old to appreciate this particular movie since I'm more of a baby boomer rather than a gen-x-er. It was just okay and I'm sure it can inspire someone, just not me. CFG
