SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

From my favorite movies..

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I'm not really into kid's movies, or ones about dance, but coming across this one day on Foxtel, I had to see it again. The smartly done, Razzle Dazzle, mocks up the performance of dance. It comes across as very documentary, while also having some clever, uproariously comic moments, in between. The performances, especially, from the adults, the mums of the star kids, are very good indeed, even from Ms grown up (second hand rose) Jane Hall. Paul Mercurio even makes a guest appearance, as does Leo Sayer, near the end, while being a judge on the big dance competition, so many kiddies have trained hard for. We see an array of talent indeed. RD is real life, in this competitive industry, where we the kid's pitfalls, rejection, disappointment, envy, and those premadonna types, that literally get on my goose. For Mums or kids involved in dance, this is a most treasured watch. I guarantee, you'll love it.

1 word- FABULOUS. not your average movie at all! Razzle Dazzle is an Australian based movie but a fake documentary. It is so full of unexpected jokes and wise cracks. i found it wonderful.Only 1 thing some people i complained about was the fuzziness in the beginning. I think it was just a bit of an affect and made no damage to the movie. Ben Miller is great in this movie but it was Kerry Armstrongs act as a pushy stage mother that had me in tears. She is just so into her character in the movie. She tries to make her daughter seem the best in front of others and tells her off for each little mistake. What i found most funny was the fact she took her daughter in for a nose job (which of course didn't happen) and complained how she might end up with her fathers nose. Though the concept of the movie is based on what happens in the homes and studios of the children, the main focus is the competition. They compete in a style of dance telling a story.I recommend this movie for people whom enjoy dancing and comedies.

I was eager to see this new Australian film, as I am for all Aussie films, as I love just about everything that the industry comes up with. I have to say though, I was disappointed with the movie on the whole and found it very tedious and at times wanted to leave the cinema.I found myself shifting around in my seat, spacing in and out every now and then and pretty much wanting to leave.Now, that's not to say I didn't find parts of the movie bearable - witty and funny bits were splashed about everywhere. When it came to piecing the whole movie together, however, it just fell flat.Kerry Armstrong is the exception. I found myself sitting up in my seat and smiling every time she came on screen because each scene she was in was hilarious and bright. Jane Hall also gave a very good performance. The five-second appearance by one of my favourite actresses Rachel Gordon was a little more than a blink-and-you'd-miss-it scene which was disappointing because she deserves so much more than what she is given.All in all, Razzle Dazzle gave it a fair go but with the majority of the adult audience it didn't match the hype it received before the movie came out. Young kids would enjoy it for the singing and dancing routines, and I'm sure many adults could find something they liked about it as well.I couldn't help but picture Chris Lilley (King of the Australian Mockumentary) playing Mr Jonathon and wondering if he might have been just the thing to spruce it up a bit.

This movie is definitely one of the best Australian movies in recent times. Kerry Armstrong's character of Justine will go down in Australian cinema history as one of the most memorable characters of all time, right up there with Babe, Picnic at Hanging Rock's Miranda, Mick Dundee, the drag queens from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and Darryl Kerrigan. It is fantastic to see a good Australian comedy for a change, and even if this is not a box office smash, it will become one of those Australian movies which Australians love.It is a perfect example of a great Aussie parody. It examines, in a humorous way, stage mothers at their worst. Everyone will love the antics of Justine and the other stage parents as they push their children to the limit.This is one of those must watch movies that everyone should see!!!!
