The only appeal of this movie is the music video to Irene Cara's Flashdance... Oh What A Feeling. And I gotta tell you, the music video is enough.

I appreciate a coming-of-age story of an 18-year-old stripper-dancer-construction worker pursuing her dream of being a dancer. But the erotic romance of an older co-worker and sexy pizza-loving part-time-stripper doesn't have much depth or loveability to it. And when she sees him with some blonde, throws rocks at his window, realizes that she was his ex, and reconciles, nothing is done. Nothing happened.

There's no charm in watching Alex go from telling a priest that she's thinking about sex to saying "i f***** his brains out" when his ex-wife shows up. If you wanna watch awesome sex talk at the dinner table, go watch When Harry Met Sally.

The message is to pursue your dreams, and to try not to throw rocks at your f*** buddy's window because that may be a mistake.

None of the characters are love-able. As much as I appreciate the positive intention of exploring the pursuit of one's dreams, experiencing trial and error, exploring multiple facets of life, this coming-of-age drama lacks any depth to it.
