Leave your thoughts about Musical Chairs.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA delightful romance between an upper-middle-class WASP and a working-class Latino. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn endearing romantic drama about a creative young Puerto Rican with a passion for dance. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMusical Chairs is about overcoming impossible odds and never giving up and chasing your dreams – all that afterschool-special stuff - but it's also charming and upbeat, and it's stuffed with great, vibrant, insanely catchy music. No Bee Gees, though. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.While Susan Seidelman's musical drama is contrived and formulaic, it gets a free pass mainly for being such a charming romance that at least tries to break its predictability. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMusical Chairs is a feel-good romantic fantasy that is likely to inspire a hollow laugh among some people in wheelchairs. Either it knows little about the realities of disability, or it knows too much. |
| Village VoiceEric HynesAll would be forgiven if Seidelman weren't so damningly dispassionate about dance, cutting up and away from movement and devaluing the thing we'd countenance so much cheese in order to see. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichIn many ways, this effervescent drama from Susan Seidelman (Desperately Seeking Susan) upends conventions, even when it sticks to a familiar narrative path. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsSettles for being simple, familiar and ineffective, though I suspect it'll warm a few hearts. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerThe schmaltzy and benign tale of a ballroom dancer who accepts and transcends her unexpected disability through the power of art and love. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThough there's plenty of movement and enthusiasm, director Susan Seidelman is content with a metronomic approach to manipulating our feelings - buoyant Latin music never felt so routinely scene-setting - and seems afraid to let anyone on-screen depart from established caricature. |
