This is old style Hollywood at it's finest. Entertaining plus...

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2004)

This 2004 version of "Shall We Dance" was, I believe, written by Wells the Under The Tuscan Sun lady. She sure knows some formulas to help you experience a full gamut of emotion. The movie moves along well and has plenty of humor and good character development. Over all it was a wonderful movie that holds your interest well. It has the feel of an old Hollywood film that we have come to enjoy for the sheer enjoyment of the actors and story. You know before the days when Reeves could fly, and the other Reeves could kick you in the face while being suspended in mid air. The ending was the only part of the film that made me question the film and say, "WAIT A MINUTE HERE". Shouldn't they have stopped here? I heard myself saying "why did they put that in?" OK they are taking you to a completeness of closure on all the characters...BUT, even though I questioned their ending, I could not help but smile as I left the theatre. Without giving details away, just go see this film for the pure enjoyment of the fairly lighthearted story, humor, warm feel and good experience. If you don't analyze too much, you can really be entertained by watching this film. Is it a chick flick? I have to say "YES". I am a 56 year old straight male... Did I enjoy this movie? An unequivocal, yes! This movie is Under The Tuscan Sun times 3! WARNING - If you are a football loving, domestic beer drinking, bratwurst eating, burping you know where scratching couch potato, it would be best to stay at home and watch this one if your wife or girlfriend rents it.
