As teen melodrama, well, Carter's film is what it is; but for such a mainstream black-consciousness movie, at least it doesn't shy from addressing some touchy issues about masculinity, parenthood, and black attitudes to whites.
Liam Lacey
A refreshingly friendly view of a romance between people of different pigmentation, an area where more respectable pictures still wimp out.
Peter Travers
Stiles and Thomas supply what this movie needs most: a heartbeat.
Susan Stark
It pays knowing respect not only to high school social politics, but also to racial politics among today's young people.
Glenn Giffin
The intent is a feel-good film, sort of an American version of Billy Elliot and I didn't believe a minute of it.
David Germain
Squanders nice performances by Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas by confining them and the supporting cast to cookie-cutter roles and hackneyed inner-city subplots.

The high school repartee has snap, crackle and pop, but the romantic drama is strictly cornflakes that have been left in the milk too long.
User reviews
Beautiful movie Very good choreography especially with mixing ballet and using hip hop with the classical to show how this developed from this as well. Julia stiles is a beautiful dancer and performs well in this movie and each time I watch again I see something new. If you love music, dancing, and etc. then watch this because someone put time into learning the styles of dancing and the origination of where dancing started from and is going great today. And the same with the music which is why some do not appreciate do not appreciate the movie, dancing, music, etc. Or seem to just appreciate the basis of what the movie is made up of
