Watch Save the Last Dance 2 For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The continuation of Sara's life after the events from the first movie is presented in this sequel, together with the new challenges that she must face in order to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming Prima-Ballerina. The exaggerated pretensions of her famous teacher consume most of her time, but the new friends she makes also request her presence in the hip-hop world, so she'll soon find herself in the situation of choosing between her dream and her love. Although it sounded like a good idea to continue what happens in the first installment, this movie begins to commit mistakes even from the beginning, by choosing different actors. It's not necessarily something dramatic, but it will inevitable alter the perception of the viewer, especially if he has seen the first one first. Furthermore, the characters which are superficially presented (for some of them you might even wonder why are they even present in the movie) participate in a series of even more predictable events (comparing to its predecessor) which ultimately lead to an unsatisfying and expected finale.It leaves the impression that it wasn't well thought, written or even produced. Everything seems rushed, superficial, put into play just to be there. It also decides to present much less sequences of hip-hop or dance in detriment of the "struggles" of ballet, which isn't impressive, to say the least. The good part is the performance of the actors which truly had to struggle with such bad dialogue and plot, but somehow managed to steal a couple of smiles and even a bit of laughter.I wanted and hoped for this movie to be good, but it ended up in a very bad position, the one of the sequels which shouldn't have existed in the first place. It's not such a bad movie, but it disappoints from almost every point of view, making you wish it shouldn't have been made.

I did not enjoy this movie at all. It is one of the worst sequels ever made. All they did was alter the first movie slightly, take out some of the conflict, throw in some different actors...The fact that they found another actress to play the same character was already a huge disappointment. And this was before I even started the movie. Facts pop out randomly and characters that started out in the story just disappeared because of lame reasons.I did not find the 'big finale' very interesting, meaning I had to sit through an hour and a half of drama that I'd already seen in the first movie, just so I could see the poorly done finish.

This was a terrible movie with a bad plot line. They repeated the same story line as the first but with a different love interest for the same main character. The girl that they got to play Sara however was a terrible actress and was like watching a bad car crash. They had her in red gothy lipstick throughout the entire film that was distracting and unlike Sara. I can't even remember the dancing or the music because all I could think of was how bad this movie is. It totally ruined a great movie and now I am going to have to try to forget that I ever saw it in the first place. I honestly only watched it because it was on t.v. and there was nothing better to watch. It did not relay the message as the first one did. It sent out weird racial messages and was a disgusting display of how Hollywood is out of original ideas. I'd hate to be the writer of this script.

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.
