A break from the norm to see the true light of ones self

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2005)

I liked the movie. Yea it was a typical romantic feel good kinda movie that usually turns me off but it was great the way the personalities of the characters meshed to help each others neurosises.(if thats a word)mainly because they were nobodies and they were immediately likable and believable. I would have appreciated the regular guy role more if a more affable actor like Matthew Perry or even Tim Robbins might have been more a rags to riches transformation rather than a sex symbol like Gere whom ladies already associate that way. My wife even though Kevin Spacey might work but I like Spacey as a the sly wit and intelligence that he usually plays although I understand he would have a background that would fit the bill for ballroom. Susan Sarrandon one of my all time favorite ladies seemed wasted but I've seen her in a few low key roles and she makes the best of her screen time. This movie is worth your time but see it with your significant other.
