I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) Initial scenes good but then its downhill - patchy screenplay & entrusting the lead character to a newcomer (Roberts) doesn't help. Considering the quality of most of the cast, the soundtrack & dancing segments its a shame that its disappointing overall. ~Tubbs
