Reviews
|
New York Post -
The journey to this foregone conclusion features several dance-offs mashing up contemporary and classical styles, which director Michael Damian (“Love By Design”) shoots with gusto. Sure, this is all a familiar tune — but it’s still catchy.

|
Village Voice -
What it loses in thematic richness, the uncynical High Strung makes up for in pure joy.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Director Michael Damian does not bring any special spark to the film, but he recognizes the talents of his cast and allows them to shine.
|
|
The New York Times -
The dialogue may be dire, but the dancing is delightful.

|
Los Angeles Times -
In the end, you'll either succumb to the silliness of it all and cheer Johnny B. on to his green card or, more likely, be in desperate need of your own exit visa.
