Watched online, good print.
32 songs in the Soundtracks, many used for dancing.
Not a great film, but I admire the positive messages: 1) Missy Elliott did not want to (semi-)twerk in her video, 2) JA didn't cave in to her employer's pressure, not even when he offered to buy her a building, and 3) dancing is (mentally & physically) healthier than crime.
But there's no great depth to any character, nor within the plot. But it's nice to hear hip-hop music that has positive lyrics, and see a story with a happy ending.
The dancing is good, just not my favorite flava, if ya feel me.
