Dancing Heart

I went into this film feeling fairly neutral about it. Given my expectations, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Lucas Till gave a wonderful performance as the lead. He was vulnerable, yet open enough to let someone else in. His struggle to make this happen becomes the heart and soul of the movie. Some reviewers said the script was unoriginal. I disagree. It explored love, trust, and betrayal in an intimate way. These are timeless themes. The dance routines were quite good. Josh Duhamel likewise gave a brilliantly understated performance as the therapist helping the lead.

The movie definitely honors the veterans, especially their families. Yes, the soldiers are brave and make sacrifices, but so do their families. The film explores the heavy toll service and sacrifice has on the family. It also ties in neatly with the pain felt by the lead actor.

I recommend this indie movie. It's a lot better than some of the stinkers I've seen these days.

This movie was unique and I have no idea why so many people don't like it. Often movies with good reviews suck. And vise verse mostly.

This movie made me laugh, cry and feel for the characters. It's not suppose to be real, it's a fiction, and an entertaining one too. It would get a higher score from me if the ending was better then it was. But overall it was a good and entertaining movie, and the reviewers are not giving this movie justice.

I don't type reviews often, but I'm just so tired of people giving good movies bad reviews, and you know why, because of their personal opinion, if they didn't like it or got offended so be it, but don't let your opinion give a good movie a bad rep.

I enjoyed this movie and the story was good, sure it could have been filled up but that is what books are for, not movies.

You should go and watch this movie right now, it's worth your time and more.

You have to be VERY brave to sit through this horse-crap of a movie,.I feel AWFUL,.How the "really good" cast could try to "act" their way through it is commendable,.I guess actors need money,.But wow,.I think a DJ movie about Zombies with athletic aspirations to become Junkies would have been a better premise,.Ouch,.Worst movie I can remember,.I have a GREAT memory : )

Do yourself a favor and RUN from this movie,.I guess the one positive is that there are a slew of actors in this flick that can look back and say that THIS is the worst movie they were ever in,.

Please guys,.Never write a script about post-war trauma and dance competitions ever again,.How it was done ONCE is incredible

Cute unique story. Could have been more powerful if they connected the music more with overcoming grief.

Well its the bad kid coming to town,and he has a chip on his shoulder.The high school has a problem also they haven't won the cheer-leading competition in 7 years!Oh no.....now mix in hometown fallen heroes theme from the war you have 2 movies in 1. Its the movie (footloose 1984)but not in a good way.Biggest problem every scene the main characters are upset,angry and painfully predictable.The movie couldn't finish quick enough.
