Fun!

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2010)

A remake of a award-winning 1996 Japanese film, 'Shall We Dance?' is indeed an interesting and fun flick to watch and remember. It's got a charming plot, coupled with competent performances and worthy direction.
'Shall We Dance?' tells the story of a man, who despite having a lovely family, believes his life is nothing but work. He, however, gets his 'un-worthy' life back in shape through dancing.
'Shall We Dance?' is a terrific idea, and this is a fun remake. What works the most for this flick, is it's unpredictability. A guy gets back in shape through Dancing, and keeps his journey interesting, cool indeed!
Peter Chelsom's direction is worth a mention. Well-Done! The Screenplay is cool. John de Borman's Cinematography is nice. The Editing is apt.
Performances are rocking: Richard Gere is fabulous. The veteran actor dances gracefully and plays his part with restrain. Jennifer Lopez is superb, her dances are indeed a treat to watch. Susan Sarandon is tops. Stanley Tucci is fair. Lisa Ann Walter is in terrific form. Richard Jenkins is fantastic, as always. Anita Gillette is lovable. Omar Miller is good. Others lend able support.
On the whole, We Shall Indeed Dance! Go, Have Fun!
