Reviews

New York Post - Sara Stewart
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.
60
Village Voice - Robyn Bahr
What it loses in thematic richness, the uncynical High Strung makes up for in pure joy.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Stephen Farber
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.
50
The New York Times - Jeannette Catsoulis
The dialogue may be dire, but the dancing is delightful.

Los Angeles Times - Michael Rechtshaffen
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.
