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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - greatIf you like dancing, and you like romance with self discovery, this films for you. I often review "Susan's" characters analogy why people get married. It's one of my favorite quotes. good film. Rating: - Shall We DanceEnjoyed this CD. Good story about Saranden [sic] and her naivette that her husband was "dancing,". She suspected an affair and hired a detective. Some comical scenes. Very good movie. Rating: - Be this alive and other thoughts on the movieRichard Gere plays a married man named John Clark, a lawyer, whose ashamed because he has it all and still isn't happy.

Something in his sadness connects him to her and he decides to go there to meet her and hope that she can bring him through his pain.

A good story, A good direction, A good chemistry between each charecter is what you look forward to in films first and "Shall we dance" has it all. A warm hearted story with a wonderfull star cast. Richard Gere has always been one of my favourate actors and this is probably one of his best performences ever. Jennifer Lopez, well what can I say, truely unique performence by her, she was very adorable in the whole film and brings perfection to the charecter played by her. Each and every individual in ...

No artistic ambition here, just a camera that films Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez and Susan Sarandon as if they were passing in front of the camera of your cell phone. The definitive movie about ballroom dancing still is Australian director Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom. This one is already forgotten. Browse for similar items by category:
