Gotta Kick It Up! (2002 TV Movie)
8/10
Cute, very cute...
3 December 2022
At a Southern California high school with a predominantly Hispanic student population, Yolanda (America Ferrera) and Daisy (Camille Guaty) convince the new biology teacher, Ms. Bartlett (Susan Egan) to become the coach of her dance team. After some initial setbacks, the girls rebel against the discipline and old-fashioned ideas of their Juilliard-trained coach. But after the girls run away and perform in an indoor competition without the coach's knowledge, the two sides must find a middle ground.

Cute, it's that movie "Sessão da tarde" that ends up surprising us for having a delightful drama, light and very realistic, the dances make others feel a little ashamed, the drama of the frustrated teacher sounds fake, middle-class teenagers, in mostly Latinos, fighting for their dreams and for a better future, all very cute and motivating, each one with their own inner resilience... Cute and based on the true story of a dance team of young Latinas in high school...
