vchimpanzee I don't remember anything about "Save the Last Dance", so I can evaluate this film on its own merits and not try to compare it. Still, once I read that Julia Stiles had been in the original I did remember she was very good, one of those actresses I like so much her name makes me want to watch whatever she is in, and I couldn't really compare Izabella Miko to her.But as I watched this, Miko was certainly good enough at acting and an excellent dancer. I can't say how good she is at hip-hop dancing because she had a stunt dancer according to the credits. Sara is rebellious but has to keep her impulses in check because she has to succeed at ballet. Still, she refuses to give up on making a difference in hip-hop, helping other dancers who can't seem to get it right without her.Several acting performances really stand out. Jacqueline Bisset is amazing. Intimidating, demanding, but also caring.Columbus Short doesn't disappoint as a teacher and ultimately romantic interest for Sara who sees a lot of potential in her, but his failed to live up to his own because he doesn't like being boxed in. He doesn't want that for Sara either.Aubrey Dollar is cute as Sara's roommate and provides much-needed comic relief.Tre Armstrong doesn't have much to do but her character really rhymes with witch. There was more potential for her which wasn't met, but her anger and jealousy add something.Yes, there is a formula here. This is JUILLIARD; what was he expecting? Our heroine is so talented she can get away with anything. And does. She may get the big part, but only if someone gets hurt. But she has the chance to make up for it in the end. Does she? I'll let you watch.

Victoria Keenan Hi haven't yet seen Save the last dance two as i live in the UK and was wondering if anyone had an rough idea of when its going to be released over here in the cinemas? If anyone could comment me back then that would be great as i love save the last dance the first one.also if anyone had seen the film and have comments on it or opinions i would love to know what people think of it without giving it away about what actually happens!I'm still in shock they didn't get the original cast back,as i think it would be much easier to follow if it was but hey i'm sure it will be just as good but if anyone does have any comments on it please let me know

ladydiana0415 My daughter and I loved Save the Last Dance 1 (one of our favorite movies). When we saw there was a second one, we were so excited. We watched the movie through it's entirety, but at the end of the movie we were both very disappointed in the movie. The movie itself was good - but just knowing that it was a continuation of Sara's life, is what upset us over the movie. None of the original cast was in the second one (no one can take Julia Stiles place in that movie) and just the fact that everything that Sara and Derek went through in the first one just to be together - "they" decided to take a break from each other and date other people. The second one was a big let down. If the second one would have been about someone else's life - it would have been a great movie - on it's own.

lucasrulez I've got to say when I first heard about a Save the last dance 2 I thought cheap knock off can never come near the original. Then when I saw the cast for this film i was even inclined to feeling this was going to be a poor sequel but you know what its not that bad...I think that this is a fun lively little film its not a world beating film or anything like that but a good film to watch in the comfort of your home. I find this is probably one of the better dance films on the market at the moment and the love story element flowing in the background carries the film along nicely. I think perhaps 6/10 is a fair mark for this film.
