From the Sublime to the RidiculousReview created: 06/25/07

This is one of my all time favorite movies, one I watch even when it's on regular tv, cut to pieces. It goes from the sublime to the ridiculous and pretty much stays there for 90% of the time, but it's a fun, musical ridiculous, with plenty of songs I enjoy hearing over and over.
Plus Paul Mercurio dances like a dream - too bad he's gone more into choreography nowadays. He's missed on the big screen. (Of course, EXIT TO EDEN might have had something to do with sinking his career a bit... =) Trivia: Paul Mercurio 'choreographed' the movements for the robots in I, ROBOT.
One of the best scenes is when his character's taught how to do the Paso Doble as it was intended. The man teaching him is the man who choreographed it for the movie, a truly great dancer in his own right. And the girl playing Fran, a non-dancer in real life, learned all the dances just for this film.
If you want a mostly fun, frivolous evening with plenty of dancing in it, this is one to watch.
