Our take
A faith-leaning teen romance about a dancer and a grieving football star. Beer pong and drunk party scenes, mild to moderate profanity, kissing, a sex-shop joke played for laughs, and emotional scenes about losing a parent. Upbeat overall. Aimed at teens who enjoy high-school romance.
Uplifting themes
Perseverance, faith, forgiveness and pursuing dreams together anchor the story Dallas works hard for auditions, and Drayton learns to open up and lead with heart
Story (may spoil tone)
Dallas, a burdened but headstrong dancer, is determined to get into the best dance school in the country—her late mother’s alma mater. However, that dream is suddenly derailed when the cheeky yet secretly grieving football star, Drayton, crashes into her life with a unique story of his own. Will the two of them be able to grow into their dreams together, or will their dreams be sidelined?
