My Daughter's New Favorite Obsession
Everyone in the family loves this movie. The emphasis is on high energy dancing and singing--as it should be! The young cast is superlative, and the old movie stars Travolta, and Pfieffer good, and Walken only slightly distracting (he's miscast as the sweetest hubby in town). Although it's silly and superficial, the treatment of integration is still highly preferrable to a plot about a thwarted romance or a misplaced bundle of money or the usual teenertainment. My eleven year old daughter is obsessed, she Can't Stop the Beat! Girl lead, girl power, and nothing at all about shopping!
