Sob a Luz da Fama: Acampamento de Dança

Jesus, what a horrible film. The script, the story-line, the directing, the casting and the performance were all bad. This is perhaps the VERY WORST and the WEAKEST film in the contemporary dancing genre. But the worst part of the film is signing Nicole Muñoz to play the center role. I've never seen anything worse than her dancing. I didn't see how she could be cast as a talented contemporary dancer. There's nothing you could call her DANCE as dance. Besides, her legs are too thick, too short, and even worse in her shorts; not a bit helpful to make me believe she got even basic training. Contempo dance is not just moving her legs or turning, or with a smiling face....there are so many elements in that genre. I was so uncomfortable to see her in all the dancing scenes in this film and couldn't help murmuring 'Jesus...what a joke....", so awkward and so weak, albeit laughable.

Man, I loved the first Center Stage. This one was just awful. The main character actress choice is all wrong. She is so flat. She plays it safe, there is nothing charismatic about her. Which is the downfall for so much of the film when she is in so much of it. The chirography is dull, flat, utterly lifeless. They almost seem to know this which is why they dont focus on the dancing but put in pointless slow-motions and close ups of faces. Poorly written, so cheesy, its actually embarrassing to watch. Of all the dance movies I have seen, this is sadly the worst. Just too many bad choices here...

I'm kicking myself. I overloaded my flash drive that had the 2000 original, bkew the damn thing, and now cannot replace the Amanda Schull original, it is nowhere to be found. I got this in its place, at least, it's something in similar vein. Gmph! Gmph! Bull you know what! Like everything Hollywood in later years, down, down, down... I am reminded of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show dilemma. "It's not cool to us fat people." So burn it!

The aerodynamic antics of the ballerinas can keep you spellbound. They are worth ten times the price of entry. This modern junk, this less-than-aesthetically-pleasing crap, you know where it belongs... or we used to know where it belonged as far back as the Nineties. But now we gotta be politically correct and give the uglies the revenge they finally, finally have

I'm an ugly too. I rejoiced in watching the beautiful. But beauty and elegance is no longer celebrated.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece in dance but it is a feel good underdog movie about different styles of dance coming together for the greater good. It seems many people missed the plot and immediately zoomed in on technical issues as if they expected to watch a real ballet. Its a movie people, its a threequel. Just relax & enjoy it from that perspective. There were some really funny moments by the actor's and I was particularly watching for the first timer, Chloe Lukasiak. Honestly Chloe could have carried this movie. I was very impressed with her emotion & delivery. I was a little annoyed that she didn't get to dance in the final number but I get it, you had to show someone get cut so why not the youngster. A Gwen movie spin off is almost a must for as good as she was. Nice job everyone. I agree it lacked some character development and I didn't particularly like the slo mo dance moments but still, I thoroughly enjoyed it. We need a Gwen follow up next.

Good plot. Intrigue. A little bit of romance. Dance. Kenny Wormald in the role of the choreographer. It's a yes from me.
