This film was one her first movies to show off her dancing talents. She took sultry dances with beautiful smooth fluid moves, but yet moved across the screen in a very wholesome and sweet way. Jennifer showed a soft side to her acting and dancing to which not over shadow co-star Richard Gear, and that showed how much she has progressed as a talented actress.
