Interesting, and yet... I don't know if back in 2001 this film was as cliché as it is 20 years later, but, for a cliché, it's pretty good. The dancing scenes are very disappointing and it touches on topics that to this day I don't see much on TV, which is positive, but it's not exactly a discussion in depth of any of those topics - they talk about interracial couples, parenting, teenage relationships, among others, but nothing really develops the way it could (maybe should?) for it to leave a relevant message. Oh, and I loved that Kerry Washington was in it, she was so young!
