“Saigon Yo (Electric)" is an extremely enjoyable fish-out-of-water story with a little bit of dancing thrown into the mix. There is a lot of familiarity in the story, but the characters help transcend this film beyond another stereotypical film. The story begins with Mai, a ribbon dancer from the country, as she moves to Saigon to achieve her dream of attending the local dance academy. Through a shared job, Mai meets Kim, a local street dancer. With hopes of a better life, the group sets its sites on the local dance competition. Unfortunately, Kim’s courtship with a wealthy young man threatens the group’s chances of winning the competition and her friendship with Mai.
