Movie Reviews of Shall We Dance? (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: A good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I first saw SHALL WE DANCE in its original incarnation, the Japanese version, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very culture-centric in its outlook, something that's missing from this remake, but it's very enjoyable nonetheless. I was hesitant to see this remake at first, since I was such a big fan of the original (even though I only saw it once), but this version won me over once I did see it. It captures the joy the main character found in dancing (something I myself will never know, unfortunately) and is a lot of fun to watch. Stanley Tucci and Richard Gere are excellent, as is Susan Sarandon, as usual. A worthwhile purchase and it has high multiple viewing value.
The Bluray image is good - it doesn't seem much was done in the way of re-processing for the release, but it does look very good.
Summary of Shall We Dance? (Widescreen Edition)
Golden Globe winner Richard Gere (Best Actor In A Musical Or Comedy, CHICAGO, 2002; UNFAITHFUL) and Jennifer Lopez (JERSEY GIRL, MAID IN MANHATTAN) step out in a delightfully sexy comedy with a sizzling all-star cast! John Clark (Gere) is a meek workaholic who feels trapped in a dull, mind-numbing existence. But one night, his whole life changes when the sight of a beautiful dance instructor (Lopez) inspires him to break out of his mold and sign up for ballroom dancing lessons! Now, he'll have to step lightly -- and do some fancy footwork -- if he expects to keep his exciting new passion a secret from his family and friends. Also starring Academy Award(R) winner Susan Sarandon (Best Actress, DEAD MAN WALKING, 1995) and Stanley Tucci (THE TERMINAL), SHALL WE DANCE? is another acclaimed crowd-pleaser from the studio that brought you CHICAGO!Something got lost in translation from 1996's critically acclaimed Japanese comedy, but the American remake of Shall We Dance? is not without charms of its own. In being transplanted from Tokyo to Chicago, the original version's subtle humor is shaken out of its cultural context, but this is an otherwise faithful adaptation in which a weary lawyer (Richard Gere) battles his mid-life crisis with ballroom dancing lessons, while his wife (Susan Sarandon) hires a private detective to see if he's cheating. Those expecting a Jennifer Lopez showcase will be disappointed; her role as the melancholy dance instructor keeps the beautifully lovelorn J-Lo on the sidelines, while a cast of standard-issue supporting characters (especially Stanley Tucci's clandestine faux-Latin dance lover) provide a generous dose of Hollywood-ized comic relief. All of this gives Shall We Dance? a polished sheen of mainstream entertainment that many viewers---and especially ballroom dancers--will find delightfully irresistible. --Jeff Shannon
