About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a feel-good, music-driven romance with lots of dancing and a nostalgic resort vibe, like Save the Last Dance; Not for you if you dislike cheesy drama or thin plotting.

Pros: iconic soundtrack; fun dance numbers; strong lead chemistry | Cons: cheesy moments; simplistic plot; forced misunderstandings
