Wow!! All I can say is wow!! At first I thought the movie was going to be a cheesy sing-along, but it is nothing close to that. The dancing and the music are outstanding. If you have any appreciation for dance and music this is the movie for you. The ending dance number is phenomenal and brought tears to my eyes.

Awesome choreography, terrific acting, inspired storytelling and best of all dancing! Wished it was in 3-D. Too bad it got squeezed out of theaters by Disney's movie line-up and sparse marketing. Already pre-ordered the blu-ray.

Such a BEAUTIFUL film. I had chills the entire time. The talent was absolutely phenomenal, I'm so excited to see where these performers' careers take them next. The ending was perfect. I'll definitely be watching this many more times.

I likely should have given this movie a "10". The energy is riveting; the dancing beyond extraordinary. Choreography a 10+. That "Charlie", portrayed by Harry Jarvis learned to play the piano and managed eighteen different songs is a tribute to his musical/theatrical genius. Thomas Doherty as "Zander", the choreographer and producer is superbly represented in his artistic temperament. He is strikingly handsome, as well. Juliet Doherty as "Barlow" is precious. I was so pleased (ecstatic?) that she finished the musical dance, owning it all the way. It comes as no surprise how many of these performers are from Great Britain. I have an inexplicable, immeasurable love and appreciation for British and Aussie actors/actresses. Long ago I became convinced those actors are superior to what we produce in the States because most British and Aussie actors/performers perform on live stage and screen. Since my days in high school amateur acting in plays, I have loved theater.

I agree the music was breathtaking and the dancing incredible but that's all there is: a compilation of songs and dance numbers with some cliché drama thrown in to trick viewers into thinking it's a movie. The acting wasn't bad but I'm an attempt to show character growth, so many events occurred that made each of the characters confusing and messy rather than complex. Relationships between characters were either unrealistic and cliche or difficult to understand because of all the problems that were never solved. Not one couple ended up together, the whole movie just built up to a show, with no payoff at all. The pianist didn't get the girl, the star singer got injured, the girl got only part of the gig and nothing that was brought up was resolved. The performance itself showed way too many scenes, it was enjoyable to watch but felt more like filler than something that belongs in a movie: none of the songs could move the plot forward or reveal a characters emotions, or show us something new, they were just dance numbers. Even the made for TV movies have more story in the first few minutes than this entire movie does.

Has that vibe of being a timeless piece / transcends time, so anyone can watch it. great dance choreography, like super well done. lots of WOW moments, like why haven't I seen such moves before? Great music. really really good music from all the spread of genres in it.
