Viewing Notes
Expected to like this more than I do given the premise, a washed up salsa dancer returns to claim his glory. But having been a student of the dance and watched many a great salsa dancers it became too easy to spot flaws with how the dancing is portrayed in this movie. If Nick Frost’s character really was a former dance champ, his steps and timing wouldn’t be so off even after years away. Sorry.
Kept wondering what my gf would think of this movie since she’s a good salsa dancer and enjoys comedies. Sadly this film doesn’t work for me but mildly amusing at times thanks to Frost’s charm.
