Shall We Dance (USA) (Miramax) (2004) **1/2Year: 2004iMDB
Director: Peter Chelsom Cast: Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez, Susan Sarandon, Bobby Cannavale
I am never a fan of remakes, and this remake of the 1996 Japanese Shall we dansu about an accountant that re-descovers life's pleasure through ballroom dancing, is no exception. I have to admit that the american version is actually better than I expected it to be. This is mainly due to Bobby Cannavale's (The Station Agent) great comedic presence. Richard Gere and J. Lo provide more eyecandy than good acting, but the movie is worth a rental if you've seen the Japanese original and you want to compare.
