Someone must be out of his mind to compare "Shall we dance" 1996 & 2004

Rating: 4/10 (7 June 2006)

I think this American version of "Shall we dance" is absolutely to get money from the original idea of the Japanese picture. Just that ! Certain pictures shouldn't ever be tried again. The sense of simplicity, tenderness well all the Japanese work was very right spoiled by the commercial Hollywood style when tries to make with charming actor what was absolutely well done by foreign (OK, unknown !!!) actors and producers of good pictures. I saw the original "Shall we dance" in HBO/Brasil unexpectedly - since after all I'm not very fond of Japanese pictures. Anyway, it was surprisingly delightful this 1996 one but Mr. Gere and Miss Lopez are good but for other type of work: please stay as you are just big stars and try no more to be ridiculous dancing.
