I really enjoyed the movie. I thought it could have been better by eliminating a couple of scenes, but it is totally fun to watch and there was lots of nice music as well.
Jennifer is a great dancer and a very sexy lady. I never really thought her acting was the best ever, but in this movie she did well. In addition, her role centred on her dancing not dialogue.
Susan Sarandon is a great actress as usual, and the role fits her well and Richard Gere is actually very funny and his character is absolutely likable. Stanley Tucci is hilarious as Link and I am not sure how many scenes he appears in, but they were quite a few.
The movie is a total success as a remake of the Japanese Shall we dansu? I believe it was well translated into the North American culture without imposing any foreign cultural traits which the American viewer would not understand.
I only gave it a 7 because of what I mentioned about the unnecessary scenes (I will not specify so that they are not spoilers).
Finally, I think the movie is clean enough for an enjoyable afternoon with the entire family. I am very surprised with the US PG-13 rating. In Canada it is more appropriately rated as PG . Well there is I believe one F word (coincidently, in one of the scenes that I didn't like).
