The fan reviews are in and it looks like Netflix's new comedy-drama film 'Feel the Beat' is a super hit among netizens. The film, which launched on the platform on June 19, has been the subject of many conversations on Twitter and fans are especially impressed by Sofia Carson's excellent dancing skills. 'Feel the Beat' is a heart-warming, feel-good movie about an aspiring dancer named April Dibrina who will stop at nothing to pursue her dreams of becoming a Broadway dancer.

However, after a botched audition and going viral on the internet in an unflattering video, she heads back to her hometown in New Hope, Wisconson. Her former dance teacher then recruits her to teach a group of young misfits to dance, which she begrudgingly accepts on finding that this could be her ticket to theatrical stardom.

The film is bound to elicit some laughs, while it also has its tear-jerking moments. But more than anything, there are many life-lessons to be learned as April embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she refuses to give up on her longstanding dream. The film invokes the themes of love, hope, togetherness, determination and achievement, which makes it a perfect watch as a family or children's movie.
