Centre Stage -- Turn it down, please

April 22nd 2009 01:37
OH. MY. GOD.
Even by Bad Dance Movies standards, Centre Stage: Turn it Up is atrociously, mind-numbingly awful. I think I'm going to need therapy, and I didn't even watch it all.
It was one massive cringe-fest. In fact, this doozy should be its own festival. A festival of bad. A celebration of all that is horrible and offensive and stupid in Hollywood.
At least the first film, Centre Stage, had the workings of a somewhat original plotline, no matter how inane and sloppy it was. And yeah, it was a goofy, badly acted film, but it was at least entertaining and the dancing was awesome.

I'm not even going to review the ill-advised sequel except to tell you it has the standard plotline of a girl whose lost her mother and only wants to dance. And if you think that sounds familiar, it's because you've seen it before in just about every other Bad Dance Movie. Instead of, I don't know, being original, the writer(s) decided to slap together plotlines (and in one instance, an ACTUAL exact event) from two other Bad Dance Movies -- Save the Last Dance (Bad in a good way, admittedly) and Make it Happen (Bad in a bad way).
By the by, it is Turn it Up and Make it Happen that have an IDENTICAL scene where the main protagonist misses out on getting into the prestigious dance school she's applying to and then sits in a coffee shop only to have her car towed away. Oh, and it's raining.
Intense.

Who are you to talk?
Could you make a dance film that was original?
Could you dance like that? Didn't think so.
The film is actually very insperational and although it's not complete reality for some of us, peoples lives are like that. And this film makes people think of whats possible in the big wide world! I love this film and would watch over and over again. I advise anyone to watch this. It's a great film and shows you how life can be if you try. Don't listen to this woman, because she has no idea what she's on about! If you're into dance films then you'll love it.
