I just rewatched this movie with my teenage daughter 40 years after its release. It was great nostalgia for me, though the choreographies seemed way better when I was a child. All in all it is a great representation of everything 80's: the music, the fashion and the American Dream. All style and looks and no depth.
The storyline is underdeveloped, and dialogues (and acting) are bad. There is some kind of voyeurism feeling with the close ups on body parts, especially thighs and legs throughout the dancing and working out scenes that I didn't get as a child, of course.
What struck me the most is how Alex is able to leave her bicycle anywhere ouside with no lock and it's always still there when she comes back.
The 80's were good times!
