Reception
Says Dennis Harvey of the Variety, the dance routines are the biggest attraction of the film. In contrast, the action was very weak and the music unimaginative. For the BBC, writes Jamie Russell " ... that's a really terrible movie. The director can not direct. He can not write. And the actors can not act. But they, however, can dance. "When five minute music video of the movie would be great, the dances are incredible.
