Harmless 80s fun

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2005)

So dancing has been banned which makes no sense, neither does a chicken race at walking pace but that's not what your paying your money for. This is a prime slice of 80s feel good cheese and thus little thought should be given to reality. This movie did not set out to break box office records or win Oscars which granted shows although if your watching an 80s film about dancing with these expectations I suggest you stop drinking. Aside from this the part where Willard learns to dance is worthy of an academy award, without that scene I doubt I would be the great ballet dancer I am today. I find his robot particularly inspiring.
