User Review
It's hard to find talent.....
Rating:
I saw the movie "DANCE WITH ME" because there was nothing else
interesting on. If I had known it would be so entertaining I would have
watched it years ago. Like "STRICTLY BALLROOM", it is a beautiful mix
of music, fun and dancing. This movies shows an intensity and passion
between 2 people that is lacking in most modern movies. Most movies
never develop a love story.....rather they jump into some steamy sexual
situation. What happened to leaving things to our
imagination....Happily Ever After!!! Don't get me wrong, the script was
lacking at times, but the performers made up for it with energy, and
realism. Who can't relate to being torn between something you love and
something you want. Vanessa L. Williams is outstanding. If she had
starred in "MOULIN ROUGE", I may have been able to watch the whole
thing. Vanessa is one of the few MULTI-TALENTED PERFORMERS(singer,
actress and NOW dancer)overlooked by Hollywood. Few women can do it
all. Not since the likes of Judy Garland, Audrey Hepburn, and Ginger
Rodgers. "DANCE WITH ME" is worth watching.
