Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review ISave the Last Dance/I enjoyed a profitable release in early 2001, with box-office earnings that exceeded anyone's expectations. Its performance illustrates the staying power of a formulaic film that avoids the pitfalls and clichés that would otherwise render it forgettable. Since there's nothing new here, you'll appreciate the original quirks in a character-based plot that's just around the corner from IFlashdance/I, and just as familiar. Sara (Julia Stiles) gave up a promising ballet career when her mother was killed while rushing to attend her daughter's crucial audition to Juilliard; Sara blames herself for the accident, and at her new, mostly African-American high school in Chicago, she's uncertain of her future. p Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas) has no such doubts; his own future is bright, and his attraction to Sara is immediate; they connect (predictably), and Sara's dormant funk emerges, with Derek's coaching, as she learns hip-hop dancing in a local club. Obligatory subplots are equally routine: Derek's sister (Kerry Washington) is a single mom struggling with her child's absentee father; Derek's best friend (Fredro Starr) feels trapped in his gangster lifestyle; and Sara's once-estranged father (Terry Kinney) is doing his best to correct past mistakes. Within the confines of this standard follow-your-dream drama, director Thomas Carter capitalises on a script that allows these characters to be real, intelligent, and thoughtful about their lives and their futures. It's obvious that Stiles's dancing was intercut with that of a professional double, but that illusion hardly matters when the rest of the film's so earnestly positive and genuine. --IJeff Shannon, Amazon.com/I

September 9, 2001 gsmck16@hotmail.com (Birmingham, England) 27 out of 31 found this review helpful With a mix of hip hop and slick dancing, Sara (Julia Stiles) plays a young wannabe ballet dancer until her mom is involved in a fatal accident where she hangs up her ballet shoes and her hopes of ballet and go's to live with her father in the south-side of Chicago, where she starts a new school and she gets to meet new people and new ways of life which include drugs, Drive By Shootings and Violence. Thats where she meets a African/American Teenager Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas). At first they are at each others throats but then start to grow a budding relationship. When Derek's sister Chenille asks Sara to go to the hottest nightclub hangout 'STEPPES'. Sara and Derek find out that they bothlike dance and realise they have something special. This is the start of a love relationship with thrills, Hot Dance Moves and top tunes from top hip-hop artist such as Snoop Dogg, 112, Chaka Demus and Pliars, Kci and Jo Jo and Lucy Pearl. With a Top Soundtrack the film is Brilliant. The Question asked is The Last Dance Saved. Its upto you to find out. Against all odds they overcome the obstacles to reach their dream and realise THE ONLY THING U HAVE TO BE IS YOURSELF !!! Watch this film!!!! February 17, 2003 5 out of 5 found this review helpful I have to say how surprised I was after I had finished watching this film, I honestly did not expect it to be as good as it was! It's a classic formula of girl meets guy, guy helps girl through hard time but will it end happily ever after?! There are a couple of crucial moments in the film when you know it could all go completely wrong and end tragically but you'll have to watch it for yourself to see what does actually happen! The film reminded me a lot of Dirty Dancing and Flashdance but it's unique in it's own way and the portrayal of the street gangs and the shootings was scarily all too realistic.brBoth Julia Stiles (Ten Things I hate about you) and Sean Patrick Thomas (Cruel Intentions) are fantastic though the film also introduces some great new talent: 'Chenille' played by Kerry Washington is one of my favourite characters of the film.brThe music in the film is great too and is not as dominantly hip hop as you might expect so when you've bought the film, you can buy the soundtrack too! Enjoy! Easy to watch and touches your heart. October 5, 2001 michal_sheleg@excite.com (London) 9 out of 10 found this review helpful I saw this at the cinema with two of my best friends and totally enjoyed it; as a hip hop fan I was jiggin along to the tunes, as a girl's girl I connected with Sara (Julia Stiles' character) and it was just feel good stuff that we all need sometimes. If you're a 'teen flick' scepticist, watch this. It isn't about being a teen, it's about being you, something that people of all ages can relate to. This film has got everything you expect from it's genre- love, sadness, comedy, and best of all an amazing soundtrack, which I also highly recommend. Definitely one of my faves. Movie of the year November 25, 2001 4 out of 4 found this review helpful I saw this movie first time in the cinema this summer and I TOTALLY LOVED IT!!! The story was so touching and like a dream. Everyone would like that story to happen to themselves. That's probably why I loved it so much! Although I kinda knew what was going to happen in the movie I didn't care. Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas were soooo good and the music was absolutely incredible! After I saw the movie I just had to buy th sound track. I'm telling you this is a MUST SEE movie if you love love stories and good music! brilliant dance romance January 16, 2002 4 out of 4 found this review helpful this film is not to be missed. it is one of the films of 2001 that really impressed me. it is a mix of hip-hop,dance,culture and romance all rolled into one.it is still a great film even if you are not in to hip hop music. it reminds me of dirty dancing and really makes you want to dance after the film has finished. absolutely brilliant.
