Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (DVD, 2006)

This is a wonderful movie full of hope and happiness. I would have to say one of my favorites. I wanted this dvd to show to my family and friends. It really is an great movie.

It has a simple plot, but great delivery. Like the chemical wash look on some parts of the movies. Characters are likable & kind of grow on you. It's a good romance story about moving forward when your relationship ended tragically.

I decided to buy this movie because I am a Hotchkiss. That aside, I really enjoyed the movie because it was better than I thought it would be. John Goodman gave an excellent performance.

It was a believeable story!
We were able to accept the characters and follow them through the story.
The plot flowed inspite of all the jumps to the past for a lot of the characters.

With this group of actors how could it miss. John Goodman starts us off with keeping a childhood promice, his telling of the story is captivating. The writer intertwines the lives of these ordinary characters, all with something we can relate to, with each introduction of another well known actor we see this story mix life, love, loss,protection,holding on to the past and looking to the future. Maybe for the first time. Getting lost in the rhythm of dance and life.

Yes!!! I like the movie very much! One of my DVD's had a preview of this movie on it, Some how I snared it, rather than managing to bypass it and get the main menu...it looked interesting and I watched the preview. Boy was I glad
that I watched. I went onto the net and found a bunch of reviews by HARDCORE
BALL ROOM FOLKS! They didn't like this -or- that, in fact nothing mostly! But
I had to go visit my brother who was seriously sick. Finally I got on line w/
Ebay and found someone that had it in stock! Just got it TODAY! and watched it all! This movie is a story about LIFE, the actors were a list of who's who in
the movies! all well done role's. Love - Life - Choice's that we all make that
are right -and- some wrong! Dance! Dance! Like a chorus line weaving through life! I could write much more...but buy it and watch it...over and over again!

Very nice, very cute story, Marisa Tomei was very good, the story was good, teh actors are good, as the story jumps a lot is difficult to follow is you don't put attention to it
