For longer than he can remember, John Clark (
Richard Gere) has led a dull existence... and even with a successful career, charming wife (
Susan Sarandon) and loving family, he still feels something is missing as he makes his mind-numbing commute through the city each day.
But one night, on his evening ride home, he looks up to see a beautiful woman (
Jennifer Lopez) staring through the window of a dance studio. Haunted by her gaze, John impulsively jumps off the train and signs up for dance lessons... and his whole life begins to change.
Now, he's entering a world he never imagined - the colorful world of competitive ballroom dancing. It's a place filled with grand passions, bitter rivalries, great friends and strange couples and it's about to reignite the excitement in John's life - not to mention the lives of his family, dance instructors and fellow classmates - in ways he's never dreamed.
Canadian Connection: Partly filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
OMG, this is the FIRST movie I cried watching. That ending scene with the rose...I watched it THREE times and I still cried each time. What a great story. The film was done in such a way that you really though Gere's character was going to have an affair with Lopez's character, but WOW...its my new favorite movie!
A great movie! Lopez is so lovely you can't take your eyes off her!!!
I thought that Richard Gere was great. It was Jennifer Lopez I didn`t like. Her character was just so cold, I couldn`t like her even for a second. But the dancing is what most people are looking for to entertain them. It wasn`t bad.
