Movie Reviews

Film Geek Central - 8/10 by Austin KennedyI'd rather just watch a musical in it's entirety than a greatest clips presentation, but for what it is, it's entertaining enough. At least it made me write down a list of musicals to watch.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertWhat it basically wants to do is entertain us with a lot of good dance scenes from a lot of good, and bad, movies, and that is such a harmless ambition that I guess we can accept it.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA fine film about the beat that put bodies in motion from tap to ballroom to disco to break dancing.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Eric HendersonBends over backwards to celebrate the perception that the box office success of Fame and Flashdance heralded the rebirth of the form.
User Review - 10/10 by Hannah SI loved this so much! You get to see all of the most wonderful dancers to ever live in this!
User Review - 10/10 by Melissa HWow! A must-see for film history buffs. Amazing collection of rare footage. And they give well-earned props to my favorite dancer, Eleanor Powell. :)
User Review - 8/10 by Jacob MA spinoff of the That's Entertainment movies, That's Dancing is an entertaining and informative documentary that looks into some of the best dancing sequences ever created in the musical genre. Gene Kelly describes early musical dancing and the works of Busby Berkeley, Sammy Davis Jr. talks about early acclaimed musical choreographers, such as Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers, Bojangles Robinson, and the Nicholas Brothers, plus shows a very entertaining dance sequence cut from The Wizard of Oz featuring the Ray Bolger Scarecrow, Mikhali Baryshnikov describes the impact of ballet dancers on film, "Scarecrow" Ray Bolger describes the glory days of MGM studios and it's two most successful dancing stars; Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, and Liza Minnelli talks about film musicals adapted from acclaimed Broadway hits. Gene Kelly also shows up at the end talking about dancing and its impact today (or in the case in its original release, 1985), showing musical hits that brought the genre back from near-extinction, including Saturday Night Fever, Flashdance, and Fame. It's not a perfect documentary, as some of the celebrity hosts just didn't seem to be in the spirit of the production, especially Baryshnikov, but what's great about That's Dancing is that no matter what musicals you have actually seen prior to watching this, I guarantee that you'll still have an enjoyable experience. It'll likely give some more respect to the musical genre and how talented these choreographers actually are. It also makes me want to watch more of the old Hollywood musicals, particularly those of Busby Berkeley, who had some pretty surreal cinematography for 1930's cinema. I'm glad I found this documentary.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg Ws/b called 'that's entertainment 4"
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel KA complement to the "That's Entertainment" series, but supperior to those. Pretty much a history of Dance in film. Great performances selected, and not the obvious set pieces. Recommended for both musical and dance fans.
User Review - 6/10 by David FWhile the opening and closing sequences date this 'documentary' about the history of dance in film, "That's Dancing" is a repository for some great dance sequences from MGM musicals. While many of the sequences collected here are fantastic, exclusivity in terms of sources limits the film from being a complete overview of dance in film up until that time and in fact even excluding some of the numbers that had been showcased in the "That's Entertainment" series doesn't really do this similar but separate project any favours.
