Deborah Matthews' divorce from her husband Jason Matthews has just been finalized. She filed for divorce because she believed he was cheating on her. Jason has since moved away to work on an often communication inaccessible research ship. That fact and the divorce itself does not sit well with their sixteen year old daughter, aspiring ballerina Erika Matthews, who blames her mother for her parent's martial problems due to her being a workaholic and for her not forgiving Jason for the indiscretion, which he vehemently denies. To make matters worse, Erika's long time ballet coach, Leonard Capas, has just quit before her important audition into the Ballet America summer program. Mr. Capas' resignation was solely by a cryptic letter with no in-person good-bye to staff or the students. Luckily, the ballet school is able to fill immediately Mr. Capas' job by a young man named Reed Halton, who believes he can help Erika prepare for her audition. Reed has been a widower now for eighteen months, his wife who was a former ballerina herself. Although apprehensive at first since he is Erika's teacher, Deborah, feeling like she should start dating again, begins a relationship with the handsome Mr. Halton, of which Erika is aware. Through this dating process, Deborah has Erika's well being and her audition as a priority. Deborah begins to see some behavior in Reed that somewhat troubles her. Deborah soon realizes that Reed has his own priorities and that almost everything that has happened to the Matthews family of late, including Mr. Capas' resignation and Jason's departure, was not by accident.

| User ReviewRose WCreepy...the dancing was pretty good in this...how the teacher taught Erika to dance with emotion. |
| User ReviewJoanne LI guess this was a pretty good movie, considering how it's made for TV. The plot was pretty well thought-out, though acting could have been better. |
| User ReviewAllison Bif this is the movie on the lifetime...then it was ok...kinda cheezy...but good i guess... |
| User ReviewSteven GIt's predictable from the first frame to the last, the actors have no chemistry, and there aren't any creepy moments at all. Really bad. |
| User ReviewStephanie HOne of those made for tv movies I think. The main actress looks really familiar though... |
| User ReviewRed LWhen I saw this movie, it had a redundant narration -- i.e. you could follow the movie from the next room without seeing the TV -- I guess it would be good if you were blind. The movie was pretty standard. Crazy ballet teacher is obsessed with one of his students. I decided in the end to deduct one star for the narration. It is distracting (unless you are watching from the next room) |
| User ReviewJeremy DWatching with my friends daughter. Not my choice. Playing Angry Birds too. Extremely forgettable movie, I pegged the entire plot in the first 5 minutes, though it's not over yet. This movies has been done, in some form or fashion, a zillion and a half times. No stars for creativity or plot. Only one star because of decent action by a few of the players. Notably mom and the psycho dance teacher. But there is very little redeeming substance to this movie. Don't waste your time. I'm going to get a shower now. |
