Surprised at the low rating

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2015)

I'm not much a fan of romantic comedy, if this movie qualifies in that regard,but the sterling performance by Stanley Tucci helped pick up the entire move in my opinion. Gere is not an action hero but everyone else seemed to me to be fine in their roles (Jennifer Lopez can dance!), the story is a bit drippy but not sopping, the dancing a treat, and as I said, Tucci's performance makes it worth watching, for me. That smile beneath a black wig is an image I will hold the rest of my life. I notice many of the poor reviews reference the original, which I have not seen. It seems a bit unfair to hate on a decent movie because the original came first. You could do a lot worse on popcorn Saturday night.
