everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Boring
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Sara (Izabella Miko) is the innocent freshman in Julliard in NYC studying to be Prima ballerina under the tough famed dancer Monique Delacroix (Jacqueline Bisset). Zoe (Aubrey Dollar) is her wacky Texan acting roommate. Katrina (Maria Brooks) is her assigned mentor. Miles (Columbus Short) is a student substitute teaching in her hip hop class. She falls for the aspiring composer as she's pulled between the world of hip hop and the traditional ballet world.The story is cheesy and very unoriginal. The main problem is that Miko is a relatively weak leading actress. The main saving grace for me is Dollar's friend character. She's funny cute especially when one of the first thing the movie does to her is to put her in an eye patch. Bisset is good as the grand dame of the piece. This is weak sequel with a poor actress at its center. However there are some minor good parts.
save the last dance(1)was such a good movie. the story was awesome and the cast was great. THIS MOVIE... The cast was completely redone and it was a real letdown. No one can replace Julia Stiles as Sarah Johnson--angry ballet dancer with the hot black guy chasing after her(ha-ha) The only reason I sat thru the whole movie was because Columbus Short was in it. Hes gorgeous and he saved the movie. No offense to Izabella Miko but she killed the role of Sarah and NOT in a good way. The story was a bit lame and really the movie shouldn't have been made unless it was with Julia Stiles. (of course we could keep Columbus Short in it because hes hot). But other than that...someone should have really stopped production on this until they got the original cast back. I say we call a do-over.
I think the moves are great. It's very very nice. I have never seen before, such great combination of hip hop and ballet. It's a nice love story. If you love to see people dance and dance to the music, this movie is made for you. It looks a bit like the movie step up, music, dance and love, but both are great movies. The musics composed are very creative and very touching, where the Miles compose music with Sarah's heart beat. That is genius. The songs are not only just hip hop but with classical music and many more. What are you waiting for, this is a movie that you must watch. If you love arts, music, dance, hip hop, ballet, this is the movie created for you. This movie teaches people that you must follow your dreams using your heart, no matter how hard it is, do what it is best for you, not for others. Although, sometimes life seems so hard to reach your goal but don't give up, do it to perfection. Once you have achieved it, you would be so happy that you would be thinking, "Luckly, I didn't give up my dream." It's all though hardwork and effort that i have put in just like Sarah.
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.
