Question: being that it is a foreign language film with no known names with a select number theaters showing it , " shall we dance " wo n't be seen by that many people .
and that 's a shame
- this is a funny , enchanting , and goofy movie full of laughs , surprises , and wonderful dance sequences .
the surprising thing about " shall we dance " is the universal appeal of the story .
a us version is in the works , and it 's no wonder -
it 's not really all that culture specific .
although there is a narrated set - up that adds some extra resonance to the proceedings ( about the view the japanese culture has about ballroom dancing ) , the movie is so rich in character and appeal that this added layer is n't at all necessary to understand or enjoy the film .
the only important unexplained japanese - specific reference that may leave some a bit puzzled is that 1000 yen is roughly $ 10 ( when you see the film - and you should see this film - you 'll know why ) . a middle aged company man realizes that achieving all the goals he set for himself in life ( a house , a child , and good marriage ) still does n't translate into a fulfilled life .
after glimpsing a melancholy beauty looking out from a dance studio window while on the train home from work , sugiyana ( koji yakusho ) decides after some trepidation to take up ballroom dance lessons in order to meet the woman who has stirred something in himself .
after finding the weekly fees for private lessons from the elegant and beautiful mai ( tamiyo kusakari ) too rich for his blood , sugiyama opts for groups lessons simply to be near her .
we then meet the players in this gem of a movie , who all have their own reasons for joining the class .
later on , we meet aoki at the dance studio ( naoto takenaka ) , a co - worker and all out weirdo and one of the laugh riot highlights of the film .
the story , laughs , and touching scenes evolve as the movie goes along .
it 's a pleasure to watch such a wonderful film that is propelled almost solely by the characters and performances .
it 's difficult to explain the charms of the film without revealing too much - the movie abounds with little revelations that subtly shape the characters , and in the end , each one is that much fuller and more understood by the time you leave the theater .
it 's one of those movies that only the french seem to make anymore - no big plot , no special effects , no gunplay , no tragic consequences , no forced examinations of the nature of love , and no insights into the nature of evil .
just a warm , funny , endearing film that will charm the pants off of you .
when was the last time you left a theater feeling all warm and fuzzy inside ?
" shall we dance " will do that to you without any treacly aftertaste .

Question: mugshot ( director / writer / cinematographer / editor : matt mahurin
; cast : belinda becker ( stella ) , michael williams ( rumor ) , robert knepper ( joe / chris ) , robert walker ( random ) , willie lassic ( young brother of rumor ) , maxine joiner ( rumor 's mother ) ; runtime : 87 ; mortal films ; 1995 ) reviewed by dennis schwartz a bleak indie film about a stolen identity .
there 's not much more to this visually stylish film than what meets the eye , as it relies on shock to tell its story of a prolonged vicious mugging .
it falls into the category of being a pretentious art - house film , leaving a bitter taste in one 's mouth as it stereotypes its characters and unintentionally further inflames the racial issues .
it tries to make a heavy - handed point about disenfranchised black youths trapped by their environment , with their only way out being crime .
but the story is so filled with violence and its nyc setting looks like hell , that it 's hard to enjoy this film and to follow what the logic in the story is supposed to mean .
the relationship between the black mugger and his white victim is a cloudy one , which the film never determines what it wants to say about it .
matt mahurin is virtual one - man crew in putting this film together ( director / writer /cinematographer / editor ) , who is a still photographer in his day job .
the film works best as a visually challenging piece , as each shot looks like a photograph carefully telling the story unfolding .
a white photographer ( robert knepper ) is mugged by a black gang while he 's on a freelance assignment to take a photo shoot of harlem at night .
he becomes a victim of amnesia and his head is bloodied as he 's left in a deserted harlem building , as the gang leaves him for dead ; but , one of the muggers , rumor ( michael williams ) , comes back and pretends to help him .
he 's a would - be photographer , who keeps a scrapbook entitled mugshots in the project apartment he shares with his mother and younger brother .
keeping his victim in the dark about who he is by calling him joe and not telling him what 's happening , he becomes the photographer for a few days .
he enters the photographer 's stylish greenwich village apartment and steals his expensive camera , and decides to hold the mugging vic for ransom when he finds out he has a black girlfriend , stella ( belinda becker ) .
she 's the only one in the film who could act .
the film is stuck with a clumsy dialogue and an overuse of symbolism , as it ends with nothing more to tell after the shock and the violent situation it created except to beat it into the ground .
it could only be commended for how appealing the film looks , as if it 's a scrapbook of still photos put together to celebrate a mugging .

Answer: N


Question: the farrelly brothers ' third film , after dumb and dumber ( 7 . 5/10 ) and kingpin ( 8/10 ) , brings together the real - life couple of cameron diaz and matt dillon , some nasty humour , a cute dog , and a mix of love , fate and romance .
plot : high - school nerd ted gets lucky when the cutest girl in his class asks him to the prom .
unfortunately for ted , he accidentally gets a part of his male anatomy ( ouch ! )
caught in his zipper , and misses the big night .
thirteen years later , ted still ca n't get mary out of his mind , and hires a private detective ( dillon ) to find her .
once found , it turns out that mary has more than one suitor , and that 's when the real fun begins .
critique : likeable comedy with a few extremely funny scenes , some funny looking people , and a plot that wo n't ever put you to sleep .
having said that , i must admit that i did like the farrellys ' two previous films more than this one , but that is saying a lot , since i really did love those earlier pics .
this one is also quite funny , but it did n't really blow me away like the others .
then again , maybe my expectations were too high .
then again , maybe i should shut up , and write a little more about the film , and less about my supposed subconscious reasons for liking / disliking the film .
continuing where their other pictures left off , the farrellys ' create a cutesy world of people with strange and endearing qualities , and a simple plot by which to tie them all together .
this one also includes plenty of toilet humour , but also some borderline fun - making of the disabled and mentally - challenged .
i must admit that i really was n't sure whether to laugh at some points or not .
not a good place to be .
having said that , the scenes that did tear through the audience , and yours truly , were extremely hilarious , and went on for several minutes after the punchline .
the laughter practically killed out the next scene for one of the best ones in the movie ( something to do with hair gel ) .
on the negative end , i did not like the musical interludes of jonathan richman that ran through the entire picture .
i found them quite useless , unfunny and distracting .
also , i found that a lot of the funnier scenes had already been shown in the film 's trailer .
and of course , i never quite buy the fact that these beautiful , intelligent , single women still ca n't seem to find the " right guy " ( see kiss the girls ( 7/10 ) .
i did really like all of the actors in the film , especially ben stiller , who appears to be solidifying his mark as a great comical actor with this picture and one of my favourites from 1996 , flirting with disaster ( 8/10 ) .
i also liked matt dillon with his big teeth , and lee evans with his superb faux - sympathy british accent .
funny stuff .
also , make sure that you stay for the credits , because there is an entire montage of outtakes from the film that plays under a lip - synched version of " build me up buttercup " , which is really cool .
overall , a cute comedy with a decent premise , and a few particularly hilarious scenes .
little known facts : the farrellys big break came when they somehow got a copy of their script " dust to dust " into the hands of eddie murphy via ?
murphy 's neighbour .
they only found out about murphy 's interest , when they saw eddie mention the script on the david letterman show one night .
matt dillon is a high school dropout .
in between acting gigs , dillon has branched out into the restaurant business .
close to home in his native new york , he co - owns both a bar called the whiskey and a swanky uptown eatery called the falls .
cameron diaz stands 5 " 9 , started working as a model at the early age of 16 , and loves cats .
ben stiller 's father is jerry stiller .
he played george costanza 's ( jason alexander ) father on tv 's " seinfeld " .
peter farrelly has written a novel entitled " outside providence " which is currently being filmed starring alec baldwin .
rob moran , who plays the cop in this film , also played the millionaire bowler in kingpin , and the bartender in dumb and dumber .
he is old friends with the farrelly brothers from college , and is currently married to entertainment tonight anchor / correspondant julie moran .
harland williams , who plays the nutty hitchhiker in this film , also played a state trooper in the farrelly 's earlier dumb and dumber , and was the star of the unfortunate rocket man .
