Not an incorrect decision, I think.

So your saying you missed the point entirely.

You were doomed from the moment your embryo DNA first formed with an extra Y chromosome. Dance movies have something that no man can truly grasp intuitively. Hence, your marxists analysis fails to notice the metaphysical link between flesh and cosmos. The poverty of the characters opposes itself with the richness of the movie, but that is because it's these poor creatures build these treasures with their body.
A teenage girl dancing is genuinely richness building through body, albeit in arts. But this process wouldn't be complete in a poor decoration, because the richness produced should have a cosmological scale in order to match the effort that is given by the subject to his treasure-making task.
The subject ought to be poor in the world without the body, and it's its mastering of the body which makes it in position of power towards the world. Yet feminine body is weak, so its power should be outside of the normal powers which wealth symbolize.
The teenage girl, just like any girl in any dance movie, is just a very litteral image of what it is to be a woman. Lynda's review doesn't miss that point, because it is obvious and evident for her (whether consciously or not) whereas yours only grasp a very small part of the problematic.

But I hate journalistic reviews, as they lack both discretion and authenticity, so I still prefer your review by far.

Do you mean 'versus' rather than 'verses'?

Lindy's a great writer, I hope she gets paid and promoted accordingly.

One review tells me to expect a run of the mill chick flick.

One review tells me to expect something visually intriguing and unique.

The target demographics are amazingly disparate.
