Snoodle's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

Set in Nazi Germany, all these boys (and gals!) want to do is have fun. They see Swing Dance as a method of expression and individualism in these difficult times. However, the Nazi party starts to crack down on these sorts of ‘dance clubs’ and they’re given the choice…join the army, or prosecution of themselves and their family. You will find no true happy ending to this story, but be left with the sense that these boys have done their duty.

Acting - Really Great 4.5

Male Stars - Perfect 5.0

Robert Sean Leonard (Dead Poets Society, Tape, House MD.) gives a performance that would rival the one he gave in 'The Dead Poets Society' consistantly throughout the film.

Female Stars - Perfect 5.0

Female Costars - Perfect 5.0

Male Costars - Really Great 4.5

Film - Great 4.0

Direction - Really Great 4.5

Dialogue - Great 4.0

The dialogue is not as pristine as I'd like to have seen, but it reflects the time and setting very well.

Music - Really Great 4.5

Visuals - Really Great 4.5

Edge - Risqué 2.5

Some crude jokes and general talk.

Sex Titillating 2.5

Mild sexual situations, suggestive dancing

Violence Fierce 2.5

A character is beaten harshly, general wartime attire and news coverage

Rudeness Salty 2.5

Occasional swearing.

Reality - Natural 1.0

Could easily have happened (and probably did.)

Circumstantial - Natural 1.0

Biological - Natural 1.0

Physical - Natural 1.0
