Mon Nov 15 2010I wouldn't have considered it a "music movie". Sure it had a musical soundtrack but what movie doesn't? It was a formulaic, trite rags to riches story about a dancer that could have been vaslty improved with a little nudity.

Mon Nov 15 2010Stellar piece of cinematic crap-o-la. But, to be honest I am not the best judge since I obviously do not fit the criteria of the target audience. Most likely this was written for and by 12 year old boys in an attempt to preserve the contents of their fantasies and wet dreams.

Sat May 31 2008I remember less about the movie and more about singing "What a Feeling" in seventh grade choir. (And suddenly, I'm embarrassed to admit that I was in seventh grade choir.)

Fri Apr 11 2008This is not a movie I would have seen on my own, but at the time I was working for a freelance mover whose young daughter enjoyed dancing and wanted to see it. He invited me along and, given that he was my boss, I figured it would be in my best interests to accept. I remember the movie as being pretty ridiculous, which I kind of expected; aspiring pretty dancer in Pittsburgh works in a steel mill during the day and a strip club at night. Wow, how incongruous! In the one scene I sort of remember, she's "dancing" at the strip club, where I think she was supposed to be the featured performer. Does she slither about a pole like Elizabeth Berkley? Does she sidle seductively up to a drunken ringside patron to relieve him of the few dollars he'd otherwise be spending on drinks? No; she sits on a straightback chair, a bucket of water is poured over her, and she pounds on the resultant puddles in time to the throbbing (and annoying) disco music. Now...I've never been one to patronize strip club... Read more

Fri Apr 11 2008Is this what happens when you dance and your pants split out in the rear?

Thu Jan 19 2006Gag me! In confession, "Oh father, I've been thinking about sex again." Then a half hour later in the film, "I f---ked his brains out." Yeah.

Sun Dec 28 2003I must agree, this movie had a whole bunch of great music, but the talent just wasn't up to par as far as acting goes.....

Sun Dec 28 2003Acting was terrible...but at least the music was half-way decent
by moosekarloff
Fri Dec 19 2003Stupid, vapid concept with a 25 cent script, lame acting, aimless direction, frenetic and visually unappealling dancing, and a score that sounds as dated as a Bee Gees record. They even used a body double for J. Beals' tushy scenes.

Thu Apr 05 2001Flashdance is one extremly trashy musical, but it's soundtrack saves it from being a total loss. An inspiring dancer meets a man who teaches her how to dance, but she finds herself in a nutshell when she finds how she and him have come to fall in love, and pay more attention to making love then dancing. It's as bad as it sounds, even worse, but the soundtrack holds everything together until the end.
