Review of Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School (2006) by Melissa G — 02 Feb 2009

This movie wastes screen talent like no other. The 2 stars are only for the great cast who really do a excellent job, inculding Marisa Tomei, Robert Carlyle, Mary Steenburgen, Danny DeVito, John Goodman, Adam Arkin, Sean Astin and Harry Shearer.

With such a great cast like that, you start to wonder how the clearly untalented director (who also wrote the horrible script, sloppily edited it, and he uses film techniques and camera moves that look ripped off and uninspired instead of using them in a unique and inspired way) got such a cast together to make such a hokey, unoriginal, overdone, overly emotional piece of shit film like this.

I bet the cast regretted ever making it, I sure hope Tomei did. They probably regretted even doing the dance scenes. [Laughs] Remember, the 2 stars are for the great cast.
