Review

by Jason Di Rosso

Lauryn (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) does the books in her brother's small-town garage, but she dreams of going to the city and becoming a dancer. When she fails her audition at a Chicago dance school, she's too proud to return home, so she starts work in a bar as a burlesque dancer. This film's limp retelling of the against-all-odds cliche just doesn't bump, grind or sweat enough to make it happen.
