A wonderfully light romantic comedy with a stellar cast. I enjoy the double storyline that takes place throughout the film. This would generally be a chick flick, but the boyfriend enjoyed it too.

This dvd came in, in perfectly new condition, just as promised and arrived incredibly fast, much to my pleasant surprise! It's a wonderful movie. I highly recommend it.

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.

Excellent movie!
Added 4/27/2009
This isn't so much a dance movie as it is a sweet lesson in life...about things not said, lived, done or rectified. Things that we could or would regret in the final review of our lives...in our last moments.
It confirmed in my life to leave nothing to tomorrow and take care of all things in my life today. I'm happier for it.
This probably isn't what you expected. The dancing was okay too.

Poignant, Charming and Quirky
Added 2/23/2009
I rented this movie when it was a new release, one of those random rentals, the cover caught my eye and the story seemed like it could be charming. Wow. A tragic story of characters who ache and struggle and dream, it nearly broke my heart with the melancholy hopefulness. There are moments of sheer joy and humor which keep the film from becoming unbearable. John Goodman excels in this piece, but I can't stop there. Each character is three dimensional, no matter how small the role.
The general storyline involves Frank who is shuffling through life under a huge black cloud of depression. He witnesses a tragic accident and because he is human, he does the noble thing by stopping and staying with the lone occupant of the car while waiting for help. A story is told and unfolds throughout the entire movie. A story that is haunting and achingly beautiful. One that requires Frank to take the right fork in the road instead of the left.
We now own Ballroom Dancing and Charm School but I haven't watched it again, until tonight. My husband pulled it out of the cabinet and I protested because the sadness, the intensity of the film, I didn't want to cry. I guess that goes to show how much this movie clicked with me. And that is why I need to write a review. Life is beautiful, ugly, horrifying and wonderful. This is a movie that presents it poignantly -- life is frail but it needs to be lived. This film isn't a good fit for children.
