“First of all….there was no such thing as GOOD ACTING in the 80u0026#39;s. EVERYTHING was cheesy as all hell. Second, the movie wasnu0026#39;t about the acting, but about the dancing. Using it to express your emotions and differences in a positive way. Anybody who saw the movie for the acting is retarded! What did you expect? A drama? I happen to like both movies. I think these people are talented dancers and that both movies send a positive message out to people. Only narrow minded people judge a film by the acting. Whatu0026#39;s the message the film is trying to convey? Did the message come across? If so, then the film is a success. Therefore, keep the negative comments to yourselves!”
