Ask Me to Dance

A gypsy woman predicts, that Jill (Briana Evigan) and Jack (Tom Malloy), will achieve love in four days. So, you already know where Ask Me to Dance (2022), is going. This film has the normal, rom-com, modern-day, movie tropes, including meeting the bipolar girl, at the speed-dating event. When the old, gypsy lady meets Jack, she hands her cat to him and just before the edit-cut, it looks, much like, the cat wanted to scratch his eyes out. The casting choices in this film are weird. I don't get Tom Malloy as the leading man. He bites his lower lip too much and makes weird faces. And, how unoriginal to name your main characters, Jack and Jill. Mario Cantone (Sex in the City, 1998-2004) plays Jill's friend, Patrick. Briana Evigan is the daughter of actor, Greg Evigan, who for people over 45, know him from the TV-show, BJ and the Bear (1978-1981). After Mario Cantone, the biggest name in the film, with veteran-creed, is Joyce DeWitt (Janet from Three's Company, 1977-1984).

Ask Me to Dance (2022), feels like an expensively, long, college film. It smells like, the low budget, independent film variety of romantic comedies, that go straight to video/streaming. However, this dreary, independent, rom-com has moments strong enough to get an E For Effort, but it is a tough watch to see. DeWitt's character is head-scratching, with a weird, southern accent, mixed with a granny-type of Mrs. Roper, if she had a carry-permit. This approach to her character is so bad, it seems out of place. You don't really even like her much. Also, the dancing isn't that very exciting either and the film, ends like a wedding video. Who needs that? However, let's give credit, where credit is due, especially since Tom Malloy was pulling triple duty, as not only just the main actor, but also the writer/director of Ask Me to Dance (2022). It's also evident, that Malloy and Evigan give it their best with the dancing scenes. If Malloy had hired another actor for the Jack role, things may have worked-out better.

PMTM Grade: 4.5 (E) = 5 IMDB.

Briana Evigan fans may go into this film thinking it's a dance movie. Instead you get a 90 minute episode of Love American Style. The over-the-top humor is so ham-handed it's not even mildly cute. Writer/Director Tom Malloy spends the entire film mugging at the camera. The supporting characters are so unbelievably stupid, they can't be taken seriously. There's a scene featuring Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle that feels as if it's from an Ed Wood horror film. If Siskel and Ebert were still alive, there's no doubt this movie would have been their Dog-Of-The-Week. Nobody should ever give Tom Malloy another penny to make another film.

The screenery was beautiful. Tried is some set that show an underwear bead room as well as an under watery dinninf and party area some of the water screen show both fish and algae one of the screen show her looking for interesting object and finding one this an couldn't be miss and it a great one indeed the conflict was exactly has I expected it and like wise common for this premises combine with an ideal of exotic trophical. This is a great one indeed and it all came to my satisfaction. I really enjoyed the movie even every one around me really liked it. The most suitable part is the last screen. Can wait for next.

Went and saw Ask Me To Dance this weekend and we loved it. We were laughing and smiling the whole movie. You can easily put yourself in the co-stars Tom Malloy and Briana Evigan shoes for their struggles and frustration to try and find love. One of the most heartwarming, delightful and funny romantic comedies you will see for a long time. The supporting cast were terrific as everyone has those members in their family or circle of friends and can definitely relate to them. I am not a dancer but I truly loved the dance scenes and could feel the passion when they danced. I highly recommend this movie if you want to go see movie full of love, comedy and romance. If you liked Sleepless in Seattle you will love this movie.

: Ask Me to Dance starts as we meet Jill (Evigan) who has been searching for love before her best friend's wedding. She gets sent on a string of dates that go wrong, despite being told she would find love before the end of the year. Elsewhere, Jack (Malloy) has been going through the same problem, going through disastrous dates too.

As the wedding comes closer, Jill and Jack find themselves almost meeting, leading to them getting frustrated by love. They question whether the fortune-telling was just making things up to make them feel more loved. This is very very awesome, perfect, fantastic and so lovely.
