Preview: Ballet Shoes (2008)

• Poster: C-

Review:

Nauseatingly dear, the poster is perfectly suited to the young teenage girl market, but there's little in it that truly screams quality of achievement.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Emma Watson needs jobs outside of the Harry Potter franchise, but this seems like the wrong director for someone of her talents. Maybe she's waiting to become an adult to pursue more risky efforts (like her co-star Daniel Radcliffe), or perhaps she's just destined to be a Lifetime TV movie actress, which is what this film looks to be.

Oscar Prospects:

This isn't Terms of Endearment, so it probably shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the grand golden guy.

Release Date:

• August 26, 2008
