Great fun

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2004)

This movie, "Shall We Dance?" is a delightful comedy. Richard Gere is excellent. The characters at the dance studio are such fun. His two fellow members of the beginners class are good. I remember Anita Gillete, the actress who plays the the dance studio owner, from the movie "Moonstruck". She has a much better part here and is very good in it. Jennifer Lopez mostly stands around and poses. Susan Sarandon has a really minor role. Lisa Ann Walter is effective in her part.
This movie will probably be a great box office success, strickly from word of mouth. It is a light comedy and it is a time when Americans need some lightness and laughter in their lives.
