    Simply a treat to watch

    If you're looking for the opportunity to just watch something that will immerse you so deeply that you'll forget about your troubles or problems for the span that this movie runs for, then barge right with some popcorn.

    Overall, I'd give this movie a 10, if not for the hype train around the end that went down the drain, but simply a treat to watch.

    An Underrated Movie

    I went into this film feeling fairly neutral about it. Given my expectations, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Lucas Till gave a wonderful performance as the lead. He was vulnerable, yet open enough to let someone else in. His struggle to make this happen becomes the heart and soul of the movie. Some reviewers said the script was unoriginal. I disagree. It explored love, trust, and betrayal in an intimate way. These are timeless themes. The dance routines were quite good. Josh Duhamel likewise gave a brilliantly understated performance as the therapist helping the lead.

    The movie definitely honors the veterans, especially their families. Yes, the soldiers are brave and make sacrifices, but so do their families. The film explores the heavy toll service and sacrifice has on the family. It also ties in neatly with the pain felt by the lead actor.

    I recommend this indie movie. It's a lot better than some of the stinkers I've seen these days.

    Stop ASKING FOR " The Perfect Film " This one is Entertaining is that the ideas after all ?

    It'S cool, Music is fun, make me think of All these contest show The story is family friendly it's simple, the actor are good simple and effective.

    So STOP believing all these so call EXPECT that come tons and tons of word to justify there genius brain lol

    WATCH THIS is you like music, Dance and don't want to think about other film alike, it's ENTERTAINING is that the ideas of movie ?

    or do you prefer all these sic movie with " cliché " that we see over and over These movie that show so many hidden msg, THIS BRAVETOWN Movie is nice Not the movie of the yrs but decent regarding all the crap movie we see.

    It'S young, entertaining and it's simple The young boy struggle with normal teens problem

    PS: I'm 55 years old I can imagine what problem teen may have these day how they need to adapt so I find to be a good representation struggle

    So pls enough with all these EXPERT comment this movie is worth watching if you like dancing and music and specially talent show as I do :)

    An unexpectedly good movie

    I went into this because I like Lucas Till. I have put off watching it for several weeks because I thought I would be wasting my time. I have so many movies and TV shows to watch and I just can't spend time on bad ones. This is not rated very highly on IMDb and that put me off.

    Well I was wrong! And any reviewer that says this is not a worthwhile movie failed to watch it. It is a little hard to watch because of the strong emotion but well worth your time. This is a movie with heart overflowing.

    It is a huge plot with lots and lots of character arcs. A whole town full of them. At first, you might think all of the townies are nutz but it comes out why and there is a good reason. Hundreds of them.

    I don't want to spoil the ride but this is one I might see multiple times and that's unusual. There is so much to it. The plot is tight. There are parallels in individual story lines of the characters that you might catch. They are not obvious but just watch this carefully, not while playing poker as I was at the start but really watch it. It will make a big impression on you. I guarantee it! Mike

    BRAVE for sure

    You have to be VERY brave to sit through this horse-crap of a movie,.I feel AWFUL,.How the "really good" cast could try to "act" their way through it is commendable,.I guess actors need money,.But wow,.I think a DJ movie about Zombies with athletic aspirations to become Junkies would have been a better premise,.Ouch,.Worst movie I can remember,.I have a GREAT memory : )

    Do yourself a favor and RUN from this movie,.I guess the one positive is that there are a slew of actors in this flick that can look back and say that THIS is the worst movie they were ever in,.

    Please guys,.Never write a script about post-war trauma and dance competitions ever again,.How it was done ONCE is incredible
