Ho Hum

Rating: 5/10 (1 December 2005)

I was not impressed but by the grace of Gere's performance although inconsistent. Susan did not do that well here, anybody could have played her, as well as Lopez. Yes, she's a dancer, but I still can't swallow her acting.
The soundtrack was OK...I was hoping for more ummph with that...like more Latin favorites. The script seemed canned at times.
The gal that plays the danceoholic is funny but mediocre at best. Stanley Tucci as always delivers but succumbs to the whims of the writer who instead of raising Tucci's character, lowers him to the typical misunderstood heterosexual with talent.
Not much resuscitates this movie from the dead. Let's hope that this trend is buried for a little while at least.
By the way, dance training in jazz, does not a ballroom dancer make.
