What an enjoyable film! And far too much sneering criticism of what is a spectacular dance movie...........it disappoints me greatly that this gets such a bagging ....perhaps moaners would prefer more dumb multiplex films or more violence? Centre Stage has terrific set pieces and is a revelation on DVD with whole versions of the dance scenes. Just enjoy it. I was astonished to realise these genuine dancers could act so well. If films like this did not exist I am sure the moaners would moan that there was not enough films for its obviously intended market. It perhaps is a pity that the makers also cut the dance sequences so short, or have drama interrupting them. For me the interest is seeing whole and uninterrupted grand set pieces shown in total, not edited. It really only adds fuel to the fact that many people refuse to pay the cinema ticket cost and justify their wait for DVD saying (quite rightly) that they will be rewarded for waiting because the DVD will be more complete.
