Categorized as comedy, but probably closer to just a drama. The film is about a boy Billy [Jamie Bell] who lives with his father, older brother, and grandmother. His father and brother both work in the coal mines, but are currently on strike. This provides an interesting and comical [at times] backdrop for the film. Billy is in boxing class, and his father is trying to groom him to be a boxer like he was. He becomes distracted by the strike and Billy, who is a horrible boxer, takes interest in the dance class that shares the gym.
The teacher sees talent in Billy and thinks he can get into a private dance school with his families support, a tall order given who his father is. A cute enough story for young kids, and popular enough that they actually made a musical out of it. I was unable to determine if this is actually based on a true story, but it wasn't bad.
Vote: 6/10
