DVD Synopsis

Randall Miller's Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School compiles an all-star cast to tell an unabashedly emotional story about life, love, and destiny. Robert Carlyle portrays Frank Keane, a man who has been in a deep depression ever since his wife passed away. One day while driving, Frank sees an accident. He investigates the scene to see if he can help and meets a dying stranger (John Goodman), who tells Frank that he was headed to a dance school in order to reunite with a woman he loved many years before. Frank decides to attend the dance school, and becomes involved with a variety of people. Originally beginning as a short film, Randall Miller's feature-length film was screened at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

A must see for anyone who endured the terror and joys of social dance classes as a
child. Stellar performances by many of the cast add to the enjoyment. The thread of a first love lasting a lifetime is a touching bonus.

My wife ordered this DVD. I wasn't sure I wanted to watch it after reading the Title.

I decided to watch it with an open mind. I found the psychology of the characters interesting and it kept my attentions till the end. The thing I liked most about this movie is how the writer was able to blend in a mixture of happy and sad endings for the characters.
