It’s the usual story but an early-teen-version, and not a particularly good one, no. Mary (Selena Gomez) dreams of becoming a dancer, but of course she’s treated like a little slave at home. Dominique (Jane Lynch) is apparently some famous pop-star, but also an insufferable woman (good the actress, terrible the character). She and her two daughters are ridiculous and annoying, not funny. Famous pop-star/dancer Joey (Drew Seeley) comes back to his old school, which is also Mary’s school, of course. Everyone’s crazy about him, not just Mary, which is not that big a surprise given his fame. He has lost the passion for dancing, until he meets a mysterious girl. He doesn’t know how to find her but she lost her mp3-player or something, so he searches for her and she’ll have to prove she’s the right one by knowing the playlist :-/ Many embarrassing moments here.
Anyway, they get to know each other and fall in love, but a mean girl makes her believe he’s fooling around so she leaves him but at the school dance they dance together again and everybody likes her. Stuff like that. Mostly boring, actually. Plus, I didn’t like Mary and Jake together because he looked so much older, which doesn’t always bother me but it did here because she was so young and that changes things. Still, that wasn’t the main problem, just a little side one. Too many ridiculous scenes, and even the dance scenes were not very exciting.
The best scene was when she went to watch a dance lesson, secretly. The dancers inside looked at a mirror, and behind it there she was, seeing everything and dancing along; basically a fake-mirror like in police-interrogation-rooms: WTF is a mirror like that doing in a dance class???
Anyway, that was a good dancing-moment, unfortunately it didn’t seem her at all.
I liked Mary’s best friend Tami (Jessica Parker Kennedy). Little else, though.
