reception
Variety's Dennis Harvey says the dance is the movie's biggest draw. In contrast, the plot is very weak and the music is unimaginative. Jamie Russell writes for the BBC, “... this is a really terrible movie. The director cannot direct. He can't write either. And the actors can't act. But they can dance. ” As a five minute music video, however, the film would be excellent, the dances are incredible.
