The history of this camp is actually true... I just wish somebody made a better movie about it. Full Review

By the end, fancifully snappy dance numbers vie with grisly bullet ballet for top setpiece honors: Kang stages both with aplomb, leaving audiences caught between crying and cheering. Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5 -- Combining the harshness of war with the exuberance of dance seems like mixing oil and water, yet ... [Swing Kids] is all at once powerfully evocative, undeniably charming, and completely heartbreaking. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- An ill-fitting hodgepodge of half-baked ideas and unrealised potential. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- "Swing Kids" is such a dizzying, anachronistic mash-up of genres and cultures -- tap-dancing musical, violent war movie, social-justice drama, and slapstick comedy -- that it deserves respect, even if it falls short as it strains to cover all these bases. Full Review

Though a bit longer than necessary, the movie tells an engaging, enjoyable story, peppered with impressive dance numbers. Full Review
