    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kerry Washington's first major role. She was working as a substitute teacher at the time, and paid so little for the film that she had to return to that job. Consequently she switched to only elementary school positions because high school students would show up to "watch Chenille teach French."
    • Goofs
      Juilliard is misspelled as "Julliard" on the sign announcing auditions.
    • Quotes

      Sara: You know, Snook, you talk a lot of shit for someone who never says anything.

    • Alternate versions
      The DVD features four deleted scenes:
      • Record Store: A scene after the first night at Steps. Snook tries to talk a girl and gets shot down. He gives Derek the last copy of a CD. Sara shops for some hip-hop CDs and flirts with Derek.
      • Jazz Club: Sara goes to see her father play.
      • Chenille's Apartment: Kenny and Chenille argue about their son and talk about their relationship before the baby.
      • Playground: Kenny and Chenille talk in a park.

    Excellent Film

    I just saw Save the Last Dance and I loved it. Julia Stiles is now one of my favorite actresses. She and Sean Patrick Thomas share a chemistry that makes every scene seem so real. I also enjoyed the performances of Fredro Starr and the rest of the cast. I am definately going to buy this movie when it comes out on DVD. Despite what others might say and have said, MTV makes great films(The Wood is one of my top three, and I loved Varsity Blues and Can't Hardly Wait). Anyway, I recommend this movie. 10 out of 10.
