    Rated - 5 stars

    One of the top films for 2005

    A must see film, already one of the top ten films released in the UK in 2005.

    J-Lo just oozes sex appeal and the spark between her and Richard Gere makes the couple of scenes where they dance together worth seeing the film just for that. However I would have loved to see a lot more interaction between the two.

    Good story line with a 40 something stuck in a rut attorney wanting to spice up his very dull and mundane life.

    For those of you who followed and liked Strictly Come Dancing you will love this film.

    All actors must have spent some considerable time learning to dance, they all pulled it off, excellent performances from all the cast.

    Can't wait to see the DVD with the extras!

    Shall we dance

    I really enjoyed this film. It moved along gentle and I liked the ending so much because it took a different turning to the way I thought it was going.

    Couples change as they get older. We do start to take each other for granted. It doesn’t mean like in most films about long marriages that you don’t love each other any more but as this film portrays that you may be look for different things from your marriage than when you first started out.

    I would defiantly recommend this to any one who has been with there partner for 15 years as they will relate to it more.

    Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon where very well cast.
