Plot: In this romantic drama, two teenagers in love struggle to look past their differences. After the unexpected death of her mother, Sarah Johnson (Julia Stiles) moves to Chicago to live with her father. Knowing no one at her new school and not at home in a gritty, inner-city high school, Sarah has trouble adjusting, but she soon becomes friends with Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas), who has talent and street smarts but a checkered past. Sarah was an avid student of ballet before her mother's death sidelined her studies, while Derek has some serious hip-hop moves, and their mutual love of dance leads their friendship into something deeper. However, since Sarah is white and Derek is black, they have more to contend with than the average high school couple; Sarah gets static from Nikki (Bianca Lawson), Derek's former girlfriend, while Derek has to deal with his friend Malakai (Fredro Starr), who is still deep in the thug life Derek is trying to avoid. Save the Last Dance was directed by Thomas Carter, who previously examined the sociopolitical side of dancing in Swing Kids. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Nice Movie

This has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. I waS really happy to be able to get this tape and have it for my own personal collection. I like the story as it shows that love transends all, black or white, the person themselves, and the love that they share is what is most important. Skin color really means nothing.

three and a half stars...

white bread white girl meets streetwise black guy who has a lot going for him. they start out sparring like tracy and hepburn, then discover they have a common interest: dance. they fall in love, but not without facing opposition from friends and family...but they get it together in the end....

i could predict the ending an hour into the movie and yet i kept watching becuase i like interracial films and i like julia stiles...i watched this solely for julia and sean patrick thomas....their star-crossed lovers were easy to get into and like...the other characters were stereotypes....the thug-life types; the white girl who think she's black; the ex-girl-friend who doesn't like seeing black men with white women; the single mom; the deadbeat dad. julia and sean were enough to make this movie work and that was all it needed...
