The main actor is like a mini Al Pacino can't tell weather his looks does it or his acting as well. He's just adorable. This movie was not only entertaining but i also learned from it. I like the fact that Henri's movies are a window into different cultures as well as the interaction of them in America. I wish there were more directors that did that as all of the American cities are full of multicultural communities and their movies don't mirror this as much. Like the blond guy "Dolby" said, something along the lines, there's a reason why all the bad guys in movies are Russian. Nevertheless in educative movies such as this light spirited dance movie maybe there should not have been any violence for we should always preach intelligent or artsy competition not that of force but these things do happen sometime.

PS: On the "Goofs" part someone notes that it should be night in Greece when in US is daytime but they are wrong if they think about it there are times that both places get sun i.e. it could be 8-am here which makes it 5-pm there - nine hours difference - Just saying do your math before putting up something silly like that.

It even almost made me cry by the end. I had actual tears forming in my eyes which i had to hold back. It's inspiring and has idealistic morals and values. I loved the dancing and how much i learned from dance history and different types of dance and also the fact that it is mixed with the Persian language and ways of doing or thinking. These issues are real in some families therefore they are treated here with honesty. The above opinion seems to me boasted and exaggerated criticism. It seems to me people here are used to watching movies only through American glasses. They expect all movies to be the same. And most Americans have no clue of what really goes on within the families in the clashing cultures of this "melting pot" unless they happen to be dating or dealing with this specific community or different communities. The acting and directing was on point otherwise i would have lost attention and would not have given it my time. But i watched it till the end because it is gripping. This movie has the feel of a musical but it makes fun of boxed way of thinking which is pretty engraved in this culture exactly because of other movies, and how subjects are treated. Some competitive mainstream remarks that make kids nowadays, and not only kids, come of ditsy without even understanding where is their problem. Maybe the priest did overreact and it has an out of touch level of reality yet it is a dance movie therefore may come off a bit as a musical sort of acting, as if doing ballet. Nevertheless it hits interesting existing points that may not be expressed out-loud by educated individuals but yet whispered among people.
