Strictly Ballroom--One of the best I've seen!

STRICTLY BALLROOM is a wonderfully campy film that I can watch over and over and enjoy it as much the 10th time (heck, I may have already seen it more times than that!) as I did the first. I'm not into dancing, but this movie has such fun with it that I am considering it as a new interest. However, do not be mistaken about the film's real intent. It is an excellent piece of satire that has relevance to all aspects of life. By the way, I am a MAN who loves John Wayne and Clint Eastwood westerns. STRICTLY BALLROOM may have a title that seems to peg it as a "chick flick", and indeed women will love it, but it's good fun for EVERYONE.

"Shall We Dance?"

When I'm fairly certain that the world just may not be unfolding as it should, the temperature is near 100, and the U. S. casualties from the War In Iraq now have reached over 2,500-- the newscasters rarely give figures of anyone else--STRICTLY BALLROOM is one of a handful of films that always makes me smile. Set in Australia and directed by Baz Luhrmann, it's all about winning the Pan Pacific Grand Prix ballroom dancing competition. Besides the extraordinary dancing by the two principal actors Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice, the story is one that most of us want to believe: that in the end-- after all that's what happens in romantic comedies-- boy gets girl, ugly duckling becomes suave swan, the older generation get a chance to try things again, or at least see their broken dreams achieved by their children, and good triumphs over the cynical, bad guys.

In addition to the fine performances by Mercurio and Morice, the other actors are quite wonderful, particularly the Hasting parents. Golden hair color not found in nature and toupees abound, as does delicious humor.

Leave it to the Aussies to do everything right in a movie.

"A life lived in fear is a life half-lived"

Ain't it the truth!

If you haven't seen this movie yet, you are SO LUCKY because you get to see it for the first time.

Terrific plot, actors, dancing, VILLAINS BOO HISS, and one of the sexiest men on the planet, Antonio Vargas. (swoon)

This isn't a life-altering film for most people, but I've probably said "As they said in 'Strictly Ballroom,'
'a life lived in fear is a life half-lived'" a hundred times, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying. Good and useful and true words.

Always be True to You

Australian humor and quirky romantic comedy Strictly Ballroom is a gem from down under. When Paul Hastings loses his partner because of new moves on the dancefloor, he gets the ugly duckling Fran who is as gutsy as he is. Both are brave enough to compete in the Pan Pacific competition with their new moves and all!
