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.

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.

I went into this because I like Lucas Till. I have put off watching it for several weeks because I thought I would be wasting my time. I have so many movies and TV shows to watch and I just can't spend time on bad ones. This is not rated very highly on IMDb and that put me off.

Well I was wrong! And any reviewer that says this is not a worthwhile movie failed to watch it. It is a little hard to watch because of the strong emotion but well worth your time. This is a movie with heart overflowing.

It is a huge plot with lots and lots of character arcs. A whole town full of them. At first, you might think all of the townies are nutz but it comes out why and there is a good reason. Hundreds of them.

I don't want to spoil the ride but this is one I might see multiple times and that's unusual. There is so much to it. The plot is tight. There are parallels in individual story lines of the characters that you might catch. They are not obvious but just watch this carefully, not while playing poker as I was at the start but really watch it. It will make a big impression on you. I guarantee it! Mike

The slow start with a story of any kind, then it got worse. It is not worth your time.

It'S cool, Music is fun, make me think of All these contest show The story is family friendly it's simple, the actor are good simple and effective.

So STOP believing all these so call EXPECT that come tons and tons of word to justify there genius brain lol

WATCH THIS is you like music, Dance and don't want to think about other film alike, it's ENTERTAINING is that the ideas of movie ?

or do you prefer all these sic movie with " cliché " that we see over and over These movie that show so many hidden msg, THIS BRAVETOWN Movie is nice Not the movie of the yrs but decent regarding all the crap movie we see.

It'S young, entertaining and it's simple The young boy struggle with normal teens problem

PS: I'm 55 years old I can imagine what problem teen may have these day how they need to adapt so I find to be a good representation struggle

So pls enough with all these EXPERT comment this movie is worth watching if you like dancing and music and specially talent show as I do :)

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

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.

I won't give it an awful outright. The premise is misdirected. There aren't any surprises. The writing is very sophomoric. The character development is nonexistent on the whole. There are a few glimmers of hope which fade quickly.

That being said there are actually some very good moments in this film. Those are because of the actors. Lucas Till is an underrated actor. The guy does the best he can with the character he was given. Josh Duhamel gives a pretty good performance as well considering the script, yet again. Laura Dern, is a very underrated actress. She has a subtlety that is wasted in this film.

If you watch it because of certain actors, as did I, you probably won't think it is just completely terrible. It's not a complete waste of time, but dang near it.

If you're looking for the opportunity to just watch something that will immerse you so deeply that you'll forget about your troubles or problems for the span that this movie runs for, then barge right with some popcorn.

Overall, I'd give this movie a 10, if not for the hype train around the end that went down the drain, but simply a treat to watch.

I'm a fan of Lucas Till and I'm from Germany. At first I bought and watched the movie because of Lucas Till but the movie has a lot more to offer the great music, the great dance scenes and the action are very captivating at least for me. In my view, the film is absolutely great. The actors are fabulous and make the movie very interesting and you can not stop watching it. That's why I give you the full 10 points. Thank you and a greeting from Germany

There is NO SUCH THING as a "talented DJ". Learn to sing or play an instrument well... or get off the stage CHUMP.

It's a heartfelt story about a kid who feels lost and unwanted learning how to cope with his issues and give to others what he never received. While I thought that some of the details along the way were unnecessary to the plot, they were kind of necessary for the character development. The casting was good, the storyline was good, the acting was pretty good, and all in all I'd rate the movie about 8/10, but because it was scored so low I felt the need to boost it with a 10/10. I'd say it's worth a watch. If anything, I enjoyed it.

It starts with a waitress who can't and never hold a glass, a DJ who's not DJ-ing... it's bad!

This is an excellent movie. Yes, it has dance, a DJ, music, electronica, etc. It has the teenage element, the bullying element, the young romance element, and the chip on the shoulder element, BUT it is a very good story. Well acted, directed, produced, etc., each element in the movie has a message, a meaning, and a feeling provoked. I highly suggest this movie and it is now permanently in our library, to be watched time and again...

There are many good, original themes in this movie. They aren't deeply processed. On one side some of the details aren't necessary to the plot, on the other way don't explain them makes us feel like to watch half a movie. It's a fiction (many details are obviously unreal). Good as entertainment that make you think about. I don't like dance scenes anyway it's only my taste. Good, must to watch.

One of the most insensitive things I have ever watched. Whoever is responsible for this owes numerous cultures and all veterans an apology. Tacky.
