A general praise of a feel-very-good piece of entertainment art.

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2005)

A professional ballroom dancer would like this film because it does promise to encourage greater participation in dance. A learner ballroom dancer would love it because it does show a progression from hopeful tyro to competent social and even display dancing in its characters.
Romantics would love this film because it does require a suitable degree of suspension of reality for everything to work together. After doing so it offers a blessed sense of warmth and well-being that is generated by a complete fulfilment of wishes for the characters. It seems only sad then that there was not twice as much film to see.
Popular music lovers would like this film for its original works by such as Peter Gabriel. The songs of Dean Martin and the tracks of The Gotan Project are welcome. They produce apt and realistic dance themes as well as the atmospherics that permit viewers to recall the film for a long time afterwards.
Film buffs, aspiring scriptwriters and directors might think this film virtuous if they can enter into an empathy with the viewers in order to allow them to cede supremacy of valuation to them, the real consumers.
