Critic Reviews
The best dance movie since "Flashdance."
Although the film's ending is a little too neat and happy to be realistic, it does leave you with the feeling of young girls taking charge of their lives.
Anybody who's ever laced on toe shoes, or wanted to, will find something to take away from Center Stage.
Modestly entertaining when it is engaged in such a celebration onstage, but it trips up when the action moves backstage, where bad dialogue ... lurks in the shadows.
Comes off as an episode of "Beverly Hills, 90210" where, instead of spoiled rich kids, the characters are all ballet stars in the making.
The cliched script by Carol Heikkinen plays like "Dawson's Creek" in toeshoes.
It's so predictable, you can set your watch to when the bulimic will sneak away to the bathroom.
All that artistry is surrounded by a hackish, paint-by-numbers storyline that makes the time between dance numbers seem endless.
A big disappointment. It's toe-tappin' tripe aimed squarely at the undiscerning Britney Spears set.
While movie reviewers like to throw around the line, "This is the worst movie I've ever seen," this movie may be the worst movie I've ever seen.
