This film starts with some students are hurrying and getting ready to
auditioning for the New York City High School of Performing Arts; a
group of talented teenagers from a different variety of backgrounds
eager to get in to the school. For shy Jenny played by Kay Panabaker,
annoyed singer Denise played by Naturi Naughton, filmmaker Neil played
by Paul Iacono, and rapper Malik played by Collins Pennie, it is getting
extremely hard to get graduated, it is a extensive and difficult test,
filled with disappointment and negative responses. Under the management
of the tough faculty, including Bebe Neuwirth, Kelsey Grammer, Debbie
Allen, Megan Mullally and Charles Dutton, the students learn to increase
on top of their fears.
The things I liked in this film are the dancing and singing. Particularly the
time where everyone was having lunch and they where dancing and singing
etc… I think that this film is more similar to Step up because it has lots
of singing and dancing and they are both based n a school of performing
arts. Everyone in the school mix together they don’t leave anyone out. I
think that it won’t take place real life because not everyone in school gets
