This movie is one of those rare pieces of cinema where it all comes together.
The style is consistent - campy. The acting is wonderful. The editing and rhythm are superb. The music engaging.
It is about ballroom dancing. It is a love story. It is about the love and pathos of life.
If you've not seen this movie and are in need of a smile, see this one. It is about a dance studio whose main dancer, a male, is in need of a partner for regional championships. He and his former partner have split, leaving an opening that is a challenge to fill. The do fill it, but not until the last moment, and when it comes together, it creates a finale that is among the best ever shot.
