Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

gavin6942 Janey is new in town, and soon meets Lynne, who shares her passion for dancing in general, and "Dance TV" in particular. When a competition is announced to find a new Dance TV regular couple, Janey and Lynne are determined to audition. The only problem is that Janey's father doesn't approve of that kind of thing.This is just 1980s cheese at its finest. There is very little plot, nothing unexpected and it could probably have been written over a weekend. It probably was. The only thing about it that really makes it worth watching is that the stars have gone on to bigger and better careers. We even have a young Shannon Doherty.If nothing else, we learn that Sarah Jessica Parker has always been a hideous creature and how she ever got hired on a movie -- or many -- or a TV show is mystery. And it calls into question Matthew Broderick's good sense.

Amy Adler Jane (Sarah Jessica Parker) is the daughter of a stern Air Force officer. They have moved around so much that she has gone to at least a dozen different schools. However, the family has just settled in Chicago, with an intention to stay awhile. This is good news for Janie, for she dearly loves a national television show that is shot in Chicago, Dance TV and she hopes to catch a live viewing. After Janie makes her first close friend at school, Lynn (Helen Hunt), they both discover that Dance TV is looking for a new dance couple to be featured on the show and that the executives are holding a tryout very shortly. Lynn encourages Janie to audition, even though it will mean cutting a few classes and sneaking out to practice, as Jane's father must not know about it. Making it to the finals, Janie is paired with handsome Jeff (Lee Montgomery) and they begin to rehearse every night. But, will Janie's father find out? And, can they really win the darn thing when another contestant, rich and spoiled, is trying to get her father to rig the event? This is a cute movie with a big heart. Parker, in one of her first major roles, is enchanting as the strong-willed but soft-hearted Janie, who doesn't wait for boys to kiss her, she kisses them first! Hunt provides great support, as does Montgomery, Shannen Doherty (very young), and especially Jonathan Silverman as a money-scheming friend of Jeff's. Yes, the film looks a bit dated, with its 80's costumes and pedestrian camera work. But, the dance scenes are quite energetic while gal-themed movies with good values and strong-female roles are always welcome for young viewers everywhere. If you and your daughters want to share an upbeat, follow-your-heart movie, with humor and sweetness, this is a wonderful choice. All who do will just have fun, indeed.

mirza81 Did anyone else notice that Janey's little brother totally checks out her breasts and crotch..the most obvious was when she comes out in her underwear- it's hysterical. This movie brings me so much joy, especially when the girls pass out fliers in the gay district of Chicago..and they end up at that bizarre gay daytime dance club. I'm rolling on the floor laughing at that point. My friends and I play drinking games to this film. Whenever Shannon Doherty appears and says something really dumb, you have to take a drink. ten minutes into the film we are trashed. There is also another scene where Janey is grounded and lying in bed with the sheets pulled over her.. and there's a buzzing noise. Yes, i think it's a vibrator. This movie oozes sexual energy. i love the black lesbian twins and their amazing man-like costumes. pure joy. My friend Micheal and I learned their dance routine and perform it at parties. I remember watching this movie when i was a kid, when i was 5 and all-female slumber party, and it made me love Cindy Lauper more than i already do. Shannon Doherty owes her career to this film. another Shannon Doherty gem is Heathers.
