Talented people make up the cast for this movie such as Kay Panabaker (“Moondance Alexander”) and Naturi Naughton and Asher Book. These young adults can sing, dance, act, and put on a show. The film follows them from their freshman year all the way to graduation their senior year from the New York City High School of Performing Arts. Some of the students improve enough to display star-like talent, while one young man learns he doesn’t have what it takes to be a ballet dancer but instead must decide whether or not to become a teacher.
The dramatic conflicts work well, such as one young lady longing to sing and do more with her talents while her father sees her strictly studying classical piano. One couple gets together but their affections are tried when a graduate from the school asks the girl to try out for a TV show he appears in with more designs on her than her talent.
Unfortunately, the film crosses our line of acceptability in the language arena and we therefore are unable to award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this movie.
