For anyone who likes dance movies such as DIRTY DANCING, STRICTLY BALLROOM, and SAVE THE LAST DANCE this one is a worthy addition to that genre. Like those films, this one shares the standard plot of romantic leads from different backgrounds overcoming obstacles with comic relief from their sidekicks and lots of enjoyable music and dancing. Once again we have the awkward heroine who faces antagonism but blossoms while taking dance lessons from a hunky homeboy. Kamar De Los Reyes and Annabeth Gish were very appealing as sensitive soulmates. I have two complaints though- it was unbelievable to me that she would even consider marrying the numbskull fiance after connecting with Nick and it didn't make sense that her friends and mother would object to Nick simply because he was Hispanic- when he was a cultured college educated school teacher and even Catholic like she was. Movie writers seem to keep wanting to perpetuate cultural biases by presenting conflicts intended to show that there is something shocking about people of different ethnic backgrounds having relationships when in the real world it has become quite commonplace and accepted-at least in MY world.

If one has ever been to ballroom dance classes, one will see the reality of the film. One CAN learn to dance, but those who can dance already can dream watching. The love story adds to the intrigue. Tessie Santiago's performance is a classic and is what the sells the film. The choreography is what makes it a joy to watch.

I loved the movie because it had great dancing and great music. The acting was very good and the main characters had terrific chemistry. they looked great together and everyone seemed to really enjoy making the movie.I highly recommend it.

A very romantic movie but also an excellent movie that taught one thing well. That one thing was that if you want to be good at anything, in this case, salsa dancing, it is very important to work at it and practice it until you have it perfected. This is a lesson that can be applied to anything in life including learning a musical instrument, acting on stage, etc. While the dancing in this movie was excellent the story-line was a more common boy meets girl story but with a twist at the end that was actually very comedic. The scene as Amy runs back down the aisle and out of church and the look on the faces of the wedding guests as she disappears on the back of a moving fire engine was priceless and one of my favorite. It almost makes you say "way to go, Amy"! :) Be sure to watch the movie if VH1 ever decides to play it again. The actors in this movie were believable. It was a VH1 Original Movie that aired over Labor Day weekend, 2001.
