Sweet, relatable movie about the ephemeral nature of Internet fame

So I wasn't sure what this movie is about. Given the title I somehow expected break dance.Yes, we witness a dancer and her slowly but then quickly evolving dance career in what is considered hip hop dance these days.Yet the dancing only forms the background of the story. The dance performances work almost like in a musical.In contrast it is actually a sweet, relatable movie about the ephemeral nature of Internet fame and its effects on everyday life.It's not a big budget blockbuster. It sometimes feels more like a TV movie. Yet there is always a "feel good" type of vibe about it that makes it warm and fuzzy.We mostly watch Casey and her friends. Later we also follow her manager and how they navigate through the world of YouTube celebrity. Even the somehow "bad guys" are not dark characters but driven by the forces they attempt to ride.So at the end of the day Breaking Thru (as the title was written here) asks the important questions.What is more fitting, a "real job" or a passion? Who is really caring about you, your friends or your fans? What is the right thing to do when you want to combine both worlds? The answers are not always black and white.I enjoyed watching this. There is no graphic violence and it wasn't just a long music video. At times it felt a bit indecisive, just like the lead.Is this a dance movie or a relationship movie? It tries to be both and ends being 50/50, missing out a bit on both worlds.

Really another talentless dance movie

Here we go again featuring zero talent people doing bad choreography and having over an hour of painful to the eye dancing without an ounce of rhythm. One of these days these producers will come to the realization that certain people cannot dance without years of practice on the most basic of dance steps. This reminds me of the Mad magazine Lampoons of earlier movies that always incorporated a dance scene with out of rhythm actors dancing badly. Almost like the first Junior High School Sock Hop when I had to close my eyes so that the erratic convulsions of the uncoordinated didn't cause me to get all out of step.
