No Balanço do Amor 2

This wasn't too bad a movie. It was basically about following your dreams and dealing with adversity along the way. Although I had basically seen the movie before with different titles (if you get my meaning), I thought the movie was good. Izabella Miko was good in the lead role as she performed the dance scenes well. Those scenes, by the way, were spectacular! (especially the ballet scenes and the part at a night club) While the themes of the movie were familiar, I found this movie to be refreshing and a good way to spend less than an hour and a half. I would recommend it.

** 1/2 out of ****

OK well i definitely think that they should have stuck with Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas. They would have looked so much better in save the last dance 2.Izabella Miko was to Gothic to be Sara i didn't like how when she was in the "pit" she was very Gothic and it did not look like something Sara Johnson would were. And one more thing when Sara and mille are walking in the park her boot steps are WAY to loud you can barley hear them talk.Oand what about Zoe what was her point in the movie any way? at least Chenille was there to help people along the way and she got a point across that it doesn't matter who you love as long as they love you back. I done now.

I've got to say when I first heard about a Save the last dance 2 I thought cheap knock off can never come near the original. Then when I saw the cast for this film i was even inclined to feeling this was going to be a poor sequel but you know what its not that bad...

I think that this is a fun lively little film its not a world beating film or anything like that but a good film to watch in the comfort of your home. I find this is probably one of the better dance films on the market at the moment and the love story element flowing in the background carries the film along nicely. I think perhaps 6/10 is a fair mark for this film.

(2006) Save The Last Dance 2 DRAMA

Second film with no relevance to the first one made in 2001 starring Julia Stiles and Omar Sean Patrick Thomas, other than they are both dancing movies and with an entirely whole new cast, this one stars Izabella Miko as Sara and Columbus Short as Miles whose ambitions intertwined when Sara on her first day to Julliard with aspirations to become a professional ballerina, except that she's exploring other dances and is starting to enjoy it too. Despite some bad acting and without seeing the first one, I thought this film is a realistic portrayal about the dilemmas teenagers have to confront who have ambitions to become the best dancer when the training can be rigorous. And although the relationship between the two stars can be seen a mile away, it serves only a small portion of the film's overall message which viewers can use the fast forward button for, it would've been nice if the dancing was a little deeper instead of just using familiar issues regarding dancing, such as pills and peer pressure. And I didn't care too much about some of the track songs either.

My daughter and I loved Save the Last Dance 1 (one of our favorite movies). When we saw there was a second one, we were so excited. We watched the movie through it's entirety, but at the end of the movie we were both very disappointed in the movie. The movie itself was good - but just knowing that it was a continuation of Sara's life, is what upset us over the movie. None of the original cast was in the second one (no one can take Julia Stiles place in that movie) and just the fact that everything that Sara and Derek went through in the first one just to be together - "they" decided to take a break from each other and date other people. The second one was a big let down. If the second one would have been about someone else's life - it would have been a great movie - on it's own.
