    Missing the obvious?

    Entertainment Weekly's review notes that the whole point of the movie isn't that these kids learn to dance "old school," but that the kids and the teacher come together to create a fusion of swing and hip-hop -- and yet, there is no point in the movie where the viewer actually sees this new dance form.

    I haven't seen the movie, and don't intend to, but can anyone who's seen it tell me which of these reviews in more on the mark? One of them has to be way off base.
