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: synopsis : sonny koufax ( adam sandler )
is a rich , childish , angry man who has just been dumped by his girlfriend vanessa ( kristy swanson ) .
in a bid to impress vanessa sonny impersonates his friend kevin ( jon stewart ) and adopts a 5 year old boy named julian ( cole and dylan sprouse ) while kevin is on an overseas trip .
under sonny 's supervision julian soon learns to lie to women , tell people how he " wipes his ass , " throw tantrums , and scream for his " god damned " treats .
self centered , julian breaks a school classmate 's arm without apologizing or even realizing he has done anything wrong .
meanwhile sonny bribes julian with sugary talk , food , toys , and flashy promises in order to get the kid to perform .
not surprisingly the government takes julian away from sonny 's incompetent supervision , and this leads to a custody battle .
opinion : it 's a movie about an embittered creep teaching a little kid to be a jerk , and we all get cheap laughs
because for 90 minutes the innocent kindergartner never finds out what it means when he mimics all the bad boy behavior .
that 's the essence of big daddy .
but there 's a bigger issue
involved :
marketing .
movies that are rated pg and pg-13 are heavily marketed towards children of preteen age and below .
on tv , film clips advertise these movies as family - friendly hit comedies .
then when you go see them they turn out to be either raunchy sex acts like austin powers with characters named fat bastard - - or big daddy where adult characters get their jollies by buddying up to naive five year olds and encouraging them to experiment with drugs and mistreatment .
folks in hollywood are trying to develop a preteen market for raunchy stuff , but i think most american parents would agree that early childhood is a time of mental innocence that should be protected from uncaring media market exploitation .
to many american mothers
there 's probably nothing more pathetic and unsettling than the sight of a theater full of unsupervised little eight year olds laughing raucously as movie character father adam sandler jokes about a woman 's " ice cold tits . "

Question: the opening crawl tells us that the galaxy is in turmoil over the taxation of trade routes , and the greedy trade federation has used it 's armada of powerful space battleships to blockade the planet naboo .
we soon find that the federation plans to invade the planet with an enormous army of warrior robots and force naboo 's ruler , the young queen amidala ( natalie portman ) to sign a treaty giving the federation control .
however , the galactic republic has sent jedi knights qui - gon jinn ( liam neeson ) and obi - wan kenobi ( ewan mcgregor )
as emissaries to the federation in order to negotiate for the ending of the blockade .
no sooner do they arrive than the federation leaders are instructed via holographic transmission by a mysterious cloaked figure to destroy the jedi , and the first battle begins .
it seems that for me and thousands of people like me , the love for george lucas 's trilogy of star wars movies has only grown over time .
we 're the fans , not the freaks .
we wo n't go dressing up like darth vader ( although you have to admit those imperial uniforms are pretty darn cool ) , and we wo n't incorporate lines from the script in our everyday conversations ( not all the time , anyway ) , but if someone wants to challenge us to a little trivia contest , we 're throwing down .
all right , stop looking at me like that .
we have been faithfully and patiently waiting . waiting for this movie ever since the end credits of return of the jedi started to roll .
you see , the trilogy is not just a set of movies , but a religion of sorts to we , the faithful disciples , and the phantom menace is tantamount to the second coming of the messiah .
unfortunately , it is not our savior .
for weeks beforehand , i was going around telling people that this movie had better be damned good - stupendously good - miraculously good .
anything less
and it 'll be the biggest disappointment of the century .
i did n't want the doomsaying prophecy to come true , really i did n't , but this film nevertheless fails to reach the pinnacles of filmmaking .
character development is virtually nonexistent .
with the possible exception of qui - gon , most of the film 's characters seem left with nothing to do but go through the motions .
none seem very affected by their experiences , and few even show any passion at all .
contrast this with the horribly irritating comic relief we are nearly continuously subjected to in the form of jar jar binks , a creature belonging to a race which lives in underwater cities on naboo , in precarious symbiosis with the land dwellers led by amidala .
jar jar 's life is saved by qui - gon early in the film , and travels with our heroes for the sole reason of making us laugh ( or
supposedly so ) .
his speech mannerisms are so " cute - ified " that i could n't understand a third of what he was saying , and the slapstick he performed was just distracting .
his head gets caught in an electronic field , his foot gets caught in the stirrup of some large beast , he describes being in trouble as " deep doo doo , " and even manages to step in some of the same while walking around in mos eisley spaceport .
therein lies a key difference between this film and one of its predecessors .
in star wars , we had obi - wan telling us mos eisley was a " wretched hive of scum and villainy .
" in the phantom menace , we get doo doo .
the films of the trilogy took me away from my everyday life and immersed me in a story " a long time ago in a galaxy far , far away . . . .
"
this film , on the other hand , constantly reminds me that it 's only a movie by including situations and phrases that are so uniquely modern american that they seem incredibly out of place and serve to jerk the viewer from the experience .
perhaps the most blatant offense occurs during a scene where young anakin skywalker enters into a pod racing competition ( it 's kind of like chariot racing with large engines instead of horses ) , and there are a couple of commentators in a press box delivering indy 500-like play by play .
i liked the pod race ; it was really exciting and ratcheted the tension , but when the heck did lucas think up the idea of putting in the sportscasters ?
the race would have been even more exciting without the distraction .
this aspect , coupled with the emphasis on humor simply baffled me .
i suppose one may say that lucas was trying to appeal to the younger viewer , but would more intelligent scenes and dialog hurt this appeal at all ?
did n't millions of youngsters still go back to see the original star wars in 1977 over and over again ?
did n't the action figures still sell like hotcakes ?
of course they did , and it 's only poor judgment that allows the most - eagerly awaited film in history to be marred by pandering to children who would still have enjoyed a film with more appeal for adults .
one aspect that will appeal broadly , however , is the use of special effects .
the people at lucas 's industrial light and magic , the world 's premiere effects house , outdid themselves in providing seamless integration of computer - generated images and real - life footage .
some of the scenes have to be seen to be believed , especially the shots of a land battle between the federation 's robot army and jar jar 's countrymen .
the space battles are also impressive , although improved over past efforts by only subtle margins to the casual observer .
this , however , is a testament to the work which ilm produced two decades ago and still holds up well today .
john williams is back , of course , providing a score for the film as only he can .
his music is pervasive throughout , as rousing and as dramatic as ever , always serving to punctuate scenes noticeably and appropriately .
since this film is supposed to be the first installment in a nine - episode story ( star wars , the empire strikes back and return of the jedi being episodes four , five and six , respectively ) , the phantom menace has the daunting task of setting up the origins of several characters we know already , in addition to those with whom we unfamiliar .
as a result , attention to history and characterization was spread a little thin .
it would have been nice to get more in depth with yoda and obi - wan , for example , but given the fact that there were several new characters to cover , it is understandable that some of the development has been left for the next two films .
one of the new characters is darth maul , hailed as the new villain with as much hype as marketing forces could muster prior to this film 's release .
in spite of the hype , darth maul is a character which almost did n't have to be in the film , his role is so insignificant .
he has maybe three spoken lines ( believe it or not , a second actor voices the character ) and the rest of the time just scowls and looks mean .
with that working against him , he never has a chance at being interesting and instead ends up an utter disappointment .
lucas seems to have wanted to develop the spiritual nature of the star wars universe , something which has been prominent throughout .
however , he does so largely by paralleling the star wars spirituality with the bible , offering an easy out for story - writing and once again bringing the viewer back to planet earth with a real - life connection .
oddly , while trying to capitalize on spirituality , lucas at the same time introduces the fact that mastery of the force is dependent upon having little force - loving parasites in your body 's cells .
this only serves to de - mystify the workings of the force a few notches by offering a scientific connection .
do n't let me mislead you too far .
the phantom menace , by most standards , is a good film .
it contains a lot of visual treats , sets the stage for an epic story , gives us a bit of excitement here and there , and even allows us to revisit some of our old friends .
it 's just that when held up to it 's predecessors ( and to not do so would be unrealistic ) , this film simply pales .
