Excuse me while I do my Tom Hanks in "Big" impersonation, raise my hand and say, "I don't get it."
Tone (Royalty Hightower) is an 11 year girl who works out in the school gym, does their smelly laundry, and fetches water. I never saw her go to class, but I am sure that is in there somewhere. She lives in the Cincinnati projects with her brother. She aspires to be on the school's dance team, some that looks like choreographed arm shaking and butt moving. I had a hard time determining who was dancing and who was having a "fit." Or yes, the girls are having fits, but not the boys. They suspect the water. That is pretty much it. Except for a few times, Tone can't dance a step, or keep up. A girl has a fit while the others crowd around with their cell phone cameras. I am sure there is some sort of "fitting in" symbolism or metaphor in the story, and apparently I missed the line that brought this to light...if there indeed was one. But I don't feel bad as it looks like everyone has missed it too. When the film was over, I was "It ends here? Something more during the credits?" Is this some secret sisterhood thing all of us males won't understand?
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
