Shall we dance (South African Release Date: 21 January 2005)
Rating: 7/10
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Director: Peter Chelsom; Cast: Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez, Susan
Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Bobby Cannavale
Not the Japanese one, but a romantic comedy where a bored,
overworked accountant (Richard Gere, who is aging very well), upon
first sight of a beautiful instructor (Jennifer Lopez), signs up for
ballroom dancing lessons. Fun, especially if one enjoys watching
ballroom dancing.
I left the theatre with a "feel good" attitude and a smile.

I'm pleased to hear that. I'll probably have to see it.
It looks, from the trailer, like a horribly girlie film. I can't stand
that Gere chap with his little piggy eyes, poor acting and shifty
appearance. I've discussed this and found that other chaps feel the same
way - he seems as insincere and slimy as the Shrub, though he clearly
isn't as dangerous.

Richard Gere is y. Very y. You may prefer the female lead,
but I like RG.

I'm pleased for the lad, it's nice that somebody thinks he's OK. I
couldn't imagine but that his mother would have wanted him sent back.
That's the nice thing about aesthetics, other peoples can always
surprise you.
How on earth can you like those piggy eyes though???
