Best moment:
I actually picked two for this movie, although there are so many memorable moments that I could name several other favorites.

#1. Scott dancing by himself in the studio. This scene is riveting and sexy as all get out.

#2. The finale! I guarantee you'll be glued to your seat. The ending is nothing short of thrilling, breath-takingly beautiful, funny, and emotional. A gift neatly wrapped up with a vibrant bow!
