Review of Take the Lead

Take the Lead (2006)
5/10
Typical

Decent, definitely a rental. I'd give it a 5.0, typical "inspired by a true story" movie. Quite cliché with "maturation" themes. A few corny comedic moments. A little on the long side, had trouble sitting through this in the theater. See it if you like ballroom dance, have to admit it had its well choreographed moments but.... the story falls a little short. Don't see it if you want to see it for the urban dance, its rare in the movie, but there is some. Overall, I was disappointed, but the disappointment was expected. Very dull movie, no surprises, no heart wrenching drama, nothing emotionally shaking. Predictable is all you can describe this story line as. The performances of the cast were mediocre and the lines were weak. I expected to be inspired, I walked away with mixed feelings. I'd rather have seen it at home definitely.
