Bring your significant other - what a great couple movie.

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2004)

Richard Geer is an estate lawyer - plodding through life like the rest of us - seemingly having everything - but has an emptiness in his life.
Wishing to become 'more happy' he seeks diversion by taking ballroom dancing lessons. This film is a very touching look at how our lives can be so caught up in the drudgery of day-to-day routines that we can overlook how simple changes can make a difference.
When his wife finds out about his extra-curricular activities she's quite upset. This is where we find that pride and shame, the reason for hiding what he was doing, can be such an obstacle in any relationship.
Overall, an excellent movie, in which the ending scene brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. Romance can be found in any relationship - no matter what the duration. You just have to take the time to stop and smell the rose.
