Little to do with ballet


When this movie was released, the word "ballet" was used frequently by critics and other commentators who discussed it. Being interested in ballet, I went to see it but was disappointed. The kid lurches around and bounces off the walls hyperactively, but he's not a ballet dancer. At the end, he appears in a campy transvestite version of "Swan Lake." That's about as close as it gets.
