Critics consensus

“Viewers willing to sit through soapy plot contrivances to see some excellent dancing might enjoy Center Stage ; for everyone else, there's still always Fame .”

Assuming that every generation needs its own dance film, Hytner revists the turf of films like Turning Point (classic ballet), Chrous Line (Broadway dancing) and Saturday Night Fever (disco) and blends together their themes and persona to little effect.

Nicholas Hytner's movie might be subtitled Beverly Hills 90210 Goes to Juilliard.

Embarrassingly enjoyable.

This unintentionally hilarious variant on the time-old high school/college/'Fame' staple features some of the most rote storytelling and characterisation going.
