Also a
coming-of-age movie that came out in
summer 2000. Tracks the paths of a group of
kids during their
senior year at a
prestigious ballet academy in
New York City. It is definitely a
chick flick, but I also liked it because almost none of the characters were
two-dimensional, (although they were a little
cliched) and because it confirmed my
suspicions about
ballet: That it is filled with
shallow,
backstabbing,
uptight,
self-important prisses that have been subjected to relentless
behavior modification until they are only
remote approximations of
human beings.
If you are dating a girly girl and want to get laid, give her a rose, take her to a nice restaurant, and then see (or rent) this movie. Then, and this is important, tell her "I think you look a lot better than any of the women in that movie." This will probably even be true, since every actress looks creepily anorexic.
