| 11:40 | I’d be like that too. NO FILMING. |
| 17:40 | Surely a lawyer is a super respectable job too? |
| 21:35 | Is that true about Christmas tree needles? |
| 22:52 | She almost left without paying for that tree. |
| 32:47 | Is she going to end up giving him lessons too? That will be weird. |
| 37:00 | That does look like a freezing cold date. Bad choice. |

| 1:07:50 | I’m still useless at painting my nails so I guess I’m not old enough yet. |
| 1:14:25 | Don’t mean to judge the moody film lighting, but she’s packing up moving boxes in the dark. |

Thoughts
Ah, this was a pretty dull movie, to be honest. It started okay, looked like it might have something interesting about it, but then it felt like all the threads that were set up didn’t go anywhere. What was the point of the viral video? And what was the big deal about the dad knowing before the girl about the casting? For a movie about dance, there wasn’t a lot about dancing. All a bit odd. The only chemistry in the movie was between father and daughter - because they are real life father and daughter! The rest is completely forgettable.
