This is a surprisingly enjoyable 1980's teen comedy with plenty of music and dancing, presumabIy made to cash in on the Cyndi Lauper hit of the same name who ironically didn't allow the filmmakers to use her version of the song, so the film uses a cover version but much to the same effect.
School girls Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt audition for a TV show who are looking for dancers but their parents predictably disapprove and they have to overcome obstacles to realise their dream. It results in a cheesy dance off culminating in a predictable ending.
Made cheaply for Roger Corman's New World Pictures to get in on the mid-80's success of teen dance movies like Fame, Footloose and Flashdance, this is good innocent fun with a young bubbly cast that carries it along. The production looks cheap but it's interesting to see the two main leads starting out before they became stars and accomplished actresses.
