Take the Lead (PG-13)

Quicklook Rating★½

synopsis

Inspired by a true story, Antonio Banderas stars as internationally acclaimed ballroom dancer Pierre Dulane. The film revolves around a professional dancer who volunteers to teach in the New York City public school system. But when his classic methods clash with his students' hip hop instincts, he teams up with them to create a new style of dance and becomes their mentor in the process. "Take the Lead" co-stars Alfre Woodard and marks the feature directing debut of veteran music video helmer Liz Friedlander.

MovieGoer Review

So, ballroom dancing is a way to teach derelict kids valuable life lessons, eh? Please. Maybe they should have titled the hackneyed Take the Lead something like Stand and Dance or Shall We Dance...in Detention?
