Summary: 5 Stars
An overlooked film which is simply delightful. It is heart-warming, funny and also sad at times but altogether shouldn't be missed for those who want a film that is first rate. No car chases, no explosions, no foul language and you can watch it with your kids or grandkids. What a pleasure to find this little gem.
Summary of Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School
Frank keane is a baker by trade but now a man consumed by his wifes death. When fate intervenes he pulls over to help a stranger in a car wreck a man near death who urgently discloses a planned reunion a meeting with a lost childhood love at a school for ballroom dance. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 07/24/2007 Starring: Robert Carlyle John Goodman Run time: 104 minutes Rating: Pg13When lonely hearts want to connect, is there any better way, really, than dancing? Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School is a sweet indie valentine to dance, and to the connection of lost, broken souls. The stellar cast is led by English Everyguy Robert Carlyle, a widower who believes he's fulfilling a dying man's last wish--to find a long-lost love--by showing up at a Thursday night dance class. Carlyle is by turns awkward, warm, sincere and bewildered, perfectly believable as a man awash in grief yet hoping to rejoin life. It turns out that dance class, led by the theatrical Mary Steenburgen, holds his lifeline. Other strong performances come from Marisa Tomei, Sean Astin, John Goodman, Ernie Hudson, David Paymer, Camryn Manheim and Sonia Braga, all of whom play people yearning for something, some one. Viewers may get distracted early in the film, seeing Carlyle in a dance venue and secretly hoping the soundtrack would queue up "You Sexy Thing," to get to see Carlyle reprise some of his fabulous shtick from The Full Monty. But it turns out Carlyle is just as winning performing the Lindy Hop or waltz. And, the film suggests, once the body moves and the soul is stirred--can love be far behind? The answer is: May I have the honor of this dance? Extras include the short 1990 film this feature was based on and an audio commentary. --A.T. Hurley
