John Clark is a middle aged Chicago estate lawyer. He loves his family, which includes his wife Beverly, but their combined busy schedules and getting caught in a rut after two decades of marriage has left him feeling unfulfilled. While taking the el train home every night, he notices the same young, beautiful contemplative woman staring out of one of the windows of Miss Mitzi's Dance Studio, which specializes in ballroom. He is intrigued enough with her beauty and sadness to go in one evening on his way home. He learns that she is Paulina, one of the instructors and a former world class ballroom dancer. Because of her, he signs up for beginner group dance lessons, regardless of them being taught by Miss Mitzi herself, and not Paulina. As time progresses, John gets caught up in the lives of those at Miss Mitzi's: his two fellow classmates - overweight Vern who wants to learn to dance for his upcoming wedding, and Chic, who wants to impress the ladies - and two of the studio's competitive amateurs, opinionated and brash Bobbie, who is looking for a dance partner, and one person who surprises John and who just wants to be able to show his true colors to the world while hiding under a mask. But as Paulina slowly allows herself to be involved in their lives as well, despite she vowing not to fraternize with the students, John comes to the spoken realization of what he was looking for when he first spotted Paulina in the window. Similarly, each of those at the dance studio are looking for their small place in life with the right person, Paulina included. John may not get the happy ending that he wants as Beverly, based on circumstances, believes he is having an affair.
Leave your thoughts about Shall We Dance?.
| Rolling StonePeter TraversWhat's left is a lot of strenuous playacting when what's called for is the finesse of the Japanese original. Skip this stub-toed substitute. |
| FilmStew.comTodd GilchristLopez has the simultaneous gift and curse of being exactly as good as her material; she fully inhabits the solemnity of Paulina without overshadowing the central conflict. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe movie never gives its heart freely and honestly to the satiny whirl of post-"Chicago" showbiz spectacle it so clearly wants to be. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanDavid Kaplan'Take this film for what it is.....light, cheery, and amusing.' |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry RatliffThis is a film that probably shouldn't work, but does. Shall we dance? Sure, just don't slip on the sloppy tears or the butterlike popcorn topping. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottA cozy star vehicle for Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfThe new Dance is a lukewarm Hollywood T-ball game, where the only goal is to please every potential audience member out there in the great unknown. |
| Richmond Times-DispatchMike WardShall we Dance is a chick flick jack-in-the-box. In the beginning it elicits wide appeal...then suddenly morphs into Lifetime fare... |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie Waffleyou will walk out with a huge smile on your face and a spring in your step |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne Kaplan'What woman wouldn't want a handsome husband showing up at work in a tuxedo, holding one perfect rose?' |
