This is a very bad movie. Complete waste of my time. Thought that since Emma Watson was in it it would be good. All the characters were very snobby and did not learn their lesson in the end. At the end of the movie, you might think that the plot if actually going somewhere, but it ends up that everyone gets exactly what they want and no lessons are learned. There is practically no plot and absolutely no character development. Characters are not good role models. I can't believe I wasted 1 and a half hours on this. I lost so many brain cells.
Ballet Shoes By Noel Streatfeild
This has no real positive message aside rom the sacrifice the 'foster mother' and other adults make. The girls who play are the ballet dancer and actress, are spoilt, obnoxious brats only interested in themselves and their own ambitious strivings. Jealousy rules.

Adapted from the 1937 book of the same title by British author Noel Streatfeild , BALLET SHOES tells the tale of the three Fossil sisters, orphans whose benefactor Great Uncle Matthew (Richard Griffiths) brings to London in the 1930s to be raised by his niece Sylvia (Emelia
