Save The Last Dance is a 2001 Paramount Pictures film and tells the tale of a inspiring ballerina named Sara(played by Julia Stiles from 10 Things I Hate About You)who gives up her life as a ballerina as her mother died in a fatal car crash leaving her to grief over her mother and move to a new town with her step dad Roy(well she doesn't call him dad so I prosume his her stepfather). Sara goes to a new school that's mixed race and meets a girl called Charlene(played by Kerry Washington)and her handsome brother Derek(played by Sean Patrick Thomas)who Sara later falls for.
Derek helps Sara accomplish her dream again to go to Julliard and become a ballerina as she told him that she was the one to blame for her mom's death and so he decides to teach her some hip hop dancing in an old building that's set to be renewed.Together with the help of Hip Hop dancing and ballet can Sara ever get the chance to do what she dreamt of doing.
Predictable yet familiar to Step Up,Save The Last Dance is a very entertaining flick and it should get more than 5.9 out of 10 on IMDb. I didn't see this film since it was on TV years ago and I got it on DVD yesterday for a bargain at PLAY and I decided to watch it 10 Min's ago.
My main issue is the way they treat white people and call them trashy and whatever and Derek's mix doesn't want him to be with Sara because she's not colored like him,now that is pure racism but still this movie was very good.
A 7 out of 10.
