Turn the Beat Around (2010)
An idealist young dancer named Zoe tackles the difficult issue of resurrecting disco dancing in today’s music business. She meets hostility beyond resistance on every dance floor where she spins and twirls. Fortunately, she has at least one ally, a nightclub owner and visionary named Michael who shares her zeal for the long-ago dance craze. With money to burn, Michael arranges for Zoe to test market bringing back disco, even with rival choreographers like Malika. Soon dance takes a two-step in the wrong direction when hard-hearted Malika and Michael start vying to become Zoe’s dance partner.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The acting in this movie is really good.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This movie wasn't amazing if you give it the 'proper rating" but if you put everything aside and judge by how entertaining and fun it was to watch it becomes a solid good movie. The plot is kind of predictable but there are a couple of surprises which i found to be great. Although the acting wasn't incredible, it was good enough to pull off the script. I found the actors who played Zoe and Michael extremely likable and worth watching. And any of the relationships that were evident in the movie showed a lot of chemistry. The Dancing didn't technically impress me a whole lot, but it was once again very enjoyable and good enough to not really have to sit there and complain. Another thing i like about this movie is it does get to the point, i don't believe that it started off too slow and none of the moments dragged too much, i thought the timing was pretty good and couldn't wait for the commercials to end. Overall this movie isn't your typical good movie, but is is enjoyable and fun and that's why i think its worth watching. 7 out of 10.
