I saw the movie and thought it was 2 ridiculous. However, some of the kids in the audience laughed and seemed to enjoy it, so we should give it a chance.

The high spot was child-actress Jolie Vanier who played the female lead. I predict a great future for her.

Computer graphics and special effects were great and very well done.

Actually, it is hard to believe that anybody thinks this movie will be successful.

I would say that this movie is not suitable for anybody over ten. However, one adult I spoke to after the movie said that she liked it.

I have watched this several times with my daughter, who is taking ballet lessons. She likes this movie and plays it over and over again.

I am convinced that several of the dancers do not really dance at all and appear to dance through camera trickery or using stand-ins.

Sascha Radetsky, Amanda Schull, Ethan Stiefel, Zoe Saldana and probably Ilia Kulik (Charlie, Jody, Cooper, Eva and Surgei) danced their own parts.

Maureen, Emily, and Erik did not dance at all, I believe.

I am not sure about Julie Kent who played Kathleen Donahue and danced the duet with Ethan Stiefel.

Also, I think the dance sequences involved a lot of cutting and pasting. I think it would be almost impossible for anybody to dance that perfectly from the beginning to the end of these long dance sequences.

Net Games is an excellent movie once one realizes that it reflects a real situation and real dangers which browsers of the Internet face. The plot resembles the infamous "Cybersex Torture Case", a real court case in which a young woman used the Internet to lure a man into a sexual relationship with her and then, as part of her perversion, had him arrested.

Not only are women browsing the Internet searching for a man, but some of these women are actually FBI Agents posing as 14-year-old girls anxiously seeking sex with much older men. Any man who responds positively, falls into their trap. When her shows up to meet the supposed girl, he finds the handcuffs placed on him.

Yet, the Internet is a part of life which cannot be ignored. I met my own wife through the Internet. We would have never met otherwise. Now, we have a beautiful three-year-old girl. The movie Net Games provides a public service by warning the viewers of real dangers lurking out there on the Internet.
