Strictly brilliant
By Waterboy (34 reviews) from Hertfordshire , 26 Mar 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
A brilliant parody of the world of 'comepetition' dancing . From the opening minutes humour is woven with a romance that out dances and provides more real passion than Dirty Dancing ever could. Funny, stylish and entertaining, even the predictable ending inspires, when it could have disappointed. My number one feel good film, whether you are Scott or Fran, watch this with a broad smile and laugh out loud as your eyes fill with tears of joy, and then see Muriel's Wedding.- Was this review helpful to you?

(40)Has its tongue firmly in its surreal cheek
By Bassman71 (617 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 19 Sep 2011Male maverick dancer, wants to win Dance Championship, partner dumps him for another dancer, pairs up with frumpy girl, guess what happens.
Predictable but extremely entertaining Australian film which has its tongue firmly in its surreal cheek.
You know within the first ten minutes how it’s all going to pan out but it’s done so well with plenty of laughs along the way that you’re drawn in by it.
Cast are excellent and almost cartoon like at times with my favourite being Barry Otto as Scott’s slightly damaged Father.
The dancing is great too with a mixture of ballroom and latin and the scene with Fran’s Spanish parents one of the many highlights.- Was this review helpful to you?

Very funny
By DanceOK (3 reviews) , 12 May 2011A fantastic Baz Luhrmann film. It is very funny and a wonderfully romantic story. The music is quite good too. A must see if you are a fan of more recent Baz Luhrmann films.- Was this review helpful to you?

By lightpainter (2 reviews) from Bradford , 08 Aug 2009A fantastic film. Don't be put off by it's title. I saw this in the cinema when it was released; it's the only film I've been to where the audience applauded at the end. Definitely worth watching. Doug...... my favorite character!- Was this review helpful to you?
