Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School
489
Musical. Romance. Comedy
Robert Carlyle is Frank Keane, a baker by trade but now a man consumed by his wife's death. When fate intervenes, he pulls over to help a stranger in a car wreck, a man near death (John Goodman) who urgently discloses a planned reunion, a meeting with a lost childhood love at a school for ballroom dance. So simply one man's dream becomes another man's destiny.

United States | The Washington Post | "A compelling, wrenching and wonderfully inspiring story." | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Too cute, too transparent, too precious and ultimately too much." | NEU |
United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "An attempt at a beautiful film about renewal -- about past love, love lost, longing and rediscovery -- but it has no emotional truth" | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "The story is corny and predictable, but Carlyle's subtle, nuanced performance saves the movie from drowning in sentimentality" | NEU |
