Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. It's all just filler between the dance scenes, which are admittedly fun. Think Pussycat Dolls with slightly more clothes on. Unrepentantly formulaic, but enjoyable all the same.
2. The film should have been called Rehash Dance, because it is Flashdance without any new ideas.
3. ...yet another tedious inspirational tale revolving around a would-be dancer's efforts at transcending her wrong-side-of-the-tracks upbringing to become a professional hoofer.
4. Another dance movie this year? Seriously, where the heck do they keep coming from?
5. This film's limp retelling of the against-all-odds cliche just doesn't bump, grind or sweat enough to make it happen.
6. We know the trajectory, it's a question of how brightly the rocket burns and how interested we are in the astronauts aboard this dance missile from small town Indiana to Chicago Big Time Dance School
7. It's hard to dislike all these urban musicals aimed at teenage girls, and even harder to tell them apart.
8. Mary Elizabeth Winstead [has] star quality.
9. Then you wait for the moment one of the regular girls gets injured, the hostess has to find a replacement and... the rest you know.
10. So predictable that you know exactly what's going to happen at any given minute.

What was the overall consensus about the movie?
Cheap, predictable, formulaic and unimaginative generic dance film. Comes across as Showgirls for simpleton teens, but with much less flesh on show.
