    American teen flicks are never short of clichés, and this musical comedy is no exception, packing in most of the genre conventions on the way to its wildly over-the-top, all-dancing finale. However, another confident performance by Sarah Jessica Parker, the bride-for-barter in Honeymoon in Vegas and the comically confused bride-to-be in Miami Rhapsody, rescues this outing from obscurity. Here she convincingly plays a high-school student who incurs her father's wrath by entering a dance competition.

    How was this film not bigger than Dirty Dancing? That's right it didn't have Patrick Swayze in it, although Jennifer Grey doesn't hold a light to the likes of Helen Hunt. Who knew Sarah Could dance like that? it hurts me just thinking about it! With a fantastic 80's sound track, great story line and talented acting from stars that haven't faded I suggest that this is a film that should be watched by everyone at least once, although I think you'll find yourselves viewing it more. Two thumbs up, Dave.
