At 2 hours and 20 minutes, ‘ABCD’ is too long. There’s some genuinely original choreography up there, but it’s lost in a plodding film with characters you couldn’t care about.

This film had the potential, but it needed both sharper direction and dancing, to maximize it.

…the best thing you can say about this film is that it’s earnest. It could have been so much more.

Take your pick. There is a whole lot of dancing talent on show here. It is the packaging that lets down the performers — and the viewers.
