i give flashdance a lowest rating of negative because it nothing more than a series of music videos with a movie short surrounding the music videos and in order to clock in as a feature length film. since when does that count as film. jennifer beals plays alex owens and an aspiring 18 year old dancer and who and incomprehensibly and has a job as a welder in a pittsburgh steel factory. not a line of work most older women find their way into and much less 18 year olds fresh out of high school. meanwhile and at night she works as an exotic dancer and who never actually takes off her clothes and in a greasy spoon bar called mawby . yet looking at the well choreographed and well polished dance routines the girls do every night at mawby  and you would think they were working at the best casino on the las vegas strip. alex ends up having a predictable romance with her boss and nick hurley (michael nouri) and who is about twice her age. after resisting nick advances and because going out with the boss isn not a good idea and she wastes no time in going all the way with him after their first date. alex and nick make no effort to hide their relationship on the job and which makes no sense given how it is likely to look to alex co workers. when beals isn not being doubled for the many dance sequences in the movie and her character spends most her time throwing temper tantrums. alex dream is to get an invitation only audition at the prestigious pittsburgh conservatory of dance. inexplicably and when her boss or boyfriend helps her get the audition she been dreaming of and she throws one her tantrums. she angrily tells nick she isn not doing the audition because of his intervention and and then gets out of his car in the middle of a busy tunnel. this is just one scene that leaves you wondering what the hell the makers were thinking when they were making this. of course and alex does eventually get her audition at the conservatory. she puts on a dance routine before the conservatory board that is so ridiculous that you would think it was in a movie marketed to the mtv generation. oh yeah and it is a dance routine in a movie marketed to the mtv generation. i do not think i can judge whether or not beals can actually act well on the basis of what i saw in flashdance. this is because the character she is forced to play is so poorly written and that i do not think it is a fair litmus test of her acting abilities. you have to hand it to the makers of flashdance though. this movie is proof that the poorest film making can be covered up by a slick marketing campaign. in this case a best selling and award winning soundtrack and music videos for said soundtrack in heavy rotation on mtv. if they had devoted more of their energy to the writing of the script and then they might have been able to come up with a plot and a story with characters that i cared about. instead what we get are stock characters put in ridiculous scenes any viewer with a functioning brain can not take seriously. a truly forgettable film.
