B.Evigan (Step Up All In ('14)) said she was obsessed with this as a kid. I couldn't find it online during 2000; IMDb rating discouraged me from buying it then.
35 songs in the Soundtracks.
Cute film. Decent character development. All the fancy bottle-handling reminds me of Cocktail ('88). Very strange to go back to a "modern" time without cell phones.
BM really only dances and tends bar, but her face is familiar from Blue Bloods (2010-).
Rated 5.7 (100,064)
Touchstone & more, dir. McNally; 6
