Movie Reviews of Shall We Dance? (1996)

Movie Review: A Movie to give as a Gift
Summary: 5 Stars

When I first saw this movie, I fell in love with it. The characters, the setting, the culture all apealed to me. It is funny, touching, and keeps your attention.
I took many of my friends to see it and bought copies to give as presents. None of them had anything but praise for this film. The acting is flawless and totally believable. The movie sucks you in.
I'm not a ballroom dancer, nor japanese. You don't have to know anything about either to love this slice of life movie. A Terrific Movie. See it, please.

Movie Review: Charming
Summary: 5 Stars

Don't be put off by the subtitles...this is a very charming movie that
tells a story so many of us have. A man, disillusioned with his life, sees
a window open to him in the sight of a young women gazing out of the window of a
dance studio. Although he begins dancing to be close to her, he comes to
love it because it is a place to put his passion.
A cute little side story is his wife's interaction with the private detective
she hires to find out what her husband is up to.

Movie Review: Gai-jin rates Shall We Dance as Ichi-ban (number one) Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I first saw Shall We Dance? on the big screen and was captivated by its storyline and cast of characters. I felt then, as I do now, that this was a film out of the ordinary. Viewers can relate to the various personalities and their dreams or desires. Because I am an expatriate living in Japan, I enjoyed the glimpse into the daily lives of my neighbors. Ichi-ban movie...a heart-warming story that you won't get tired watching over and over again. It needs to come on DVD a.s.a.p.

Movie Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

After watching most of the Akira Kurosawa films, I was in search of a good Japanese film. This film kept showing up on my searches and I was a little worried about it since "shall we dance" was remade by richard gere (which after watching this movie..was a really bad chic flick..and a bad remake)

But this movie was great. Great directing, acting, great family film without being super g-rated cheesy. It works really well. I give it 5 stars. Great date movie as well.

Movie Review: One of my favorite movies of all time!
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie four times when it was out in theaters and have it to thank for getting me into dancing. I am still dancing seven years later! I lived in Japan and speak Japanese so my enjoyment was doubled. I am disappointed that the movie is not out on DVD but will be first in line when it is. I don't think the upcoming Richard Gere version will come close to the original. Who could possibly recreate those hilarious characters from the Japanese version!!??
