good movie indeed

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2005)

John (Richard Gere) is a bored lawyer blessed with a loving wife, Beverly (a marvelous Susan Sarandon), and two kids. On his commuter train route every day, John passes a dance studio where he spies a forlorn dancer name Paulina (Jennifer Lopez) staring out her window. Smitten, John joins a dance class to get close to Paulina, but soon finds the freeing nature of the art form raises his spirits and breathes life into him and his classmates (including a miscast Lisa Ann Walter and Bobby Cannavale). Caught between lying to his wife, having romantic feelings for his teacher, and hiding his passion for dance from his coworkers, John's simple, mundane life quickly becomes complicated.
