Das Leben des Tanzlehrer Pierre Dulaine, das bereits die Doku âMad Hot Ballroomâ inspirierte, wird hier nun als Spielfilm aufgearbeitet. Trotz augenscheinlicher Parallelen zu Filmen wie âDangerous Mindsâ und âSave the last Danceâ schafft es dieser Film doch eine gewissen EigenstÃ¤ndigkeit zu erreichen. NatÃ¼rlich bedient sich auch dieser Film der Klischees die man... read more

I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since my wife loves movies about dancing, I thought I should check it out anyway. Furthermore, the ratings were pretty good, even Roger Ebert liked it so I thought it could be a nice surprise. Unfortunately, the whole thing was rather disappointing.

My Movie Diary: 2012 (16 movies items)

"12/01/2012 (Rewatch) One of those feel-good movies with the teacher coming in to an untenable situation, shaking things up and showing the kids their self-worth and respect. Yeah, it's been done before but it's still good. The dance scenes are humorous during the teaching phase and, at the end during a competition, are delightful. My favorite scene is during the competition with an improvised tango performed by three of the students, two of the guys and one girl. (Based on a true story) "

I mean, it is a typical feature about an outsider who comes in a difficult school. It follows faithfully the rules of the genre but I thought it was terribly uninspired, uninspiring and rather dull to watch. It is pretty obvious that it is not a realistic movie and that it should be handled as some kind of fairy tale (to get the students attention, he just has to turn up the volume, the rich kid who really wants to dance with them,

"The angst file: Rock: Doctor's note. I can't dance, I have a heart condition. Pierre Dulaine: Interesting man, your doctor. Not many doctors write notes on three-hole paper. (A special thanks to tartan_skirt) "
