It's not actually a movie...just kinda like a documentary on kids that ballroom. But you're into that sorta thing. Then it's quite ok…

I didn't care for it right from the beginning. It's just showing a group of kids at a space camp and what they do on a daily basis…

Even Greg Whiteley can't make the dullest competitive event interesting. I hated debate before I saw this, now I hate it even more…

This is one of the lamest movies ever, follows a simple structures that is all messed up…
