Do You Wanna Dance?

I watched this movie only because I was locked down during the coronavirus crisis, and desperate for just about anything to watch on TV. Given the unknown (and mostly Greek-American) cast, plus the fact that I had never even heard of the movie, I expected the worst. And I assumed I would probably turn it off after 5 or 10 minutes. But the movie surprised me. It turned out to be very enjoyable, with just enough joyous dance numbers to add a little excitement, and an uplifting, human message (that didn't become obnoxiously obvious). All in all, a nice, little rom-com.

I was disappointed with this movie. The acting was horrible. Based on the movie title I figured they would have had better dancers. I think Robert krantz auditioned for Footloose or Cocktail and obviously didn't get the part. Instead he retaliated by finding a true story and made himself the main character. Harsh? No, the truth hurts.

Absolutely adorable. So you wanna dance is a delightful, family friendly " feel good " movie .. Robert Krantz delivers an exceptional dose of positivity & nostalgia . It's exactly what we need now . Highly recommend

Wouldn't have been so harsh as Bob but find it hard to disagree with him. Except that the credits do list a real Father Chris as technical advisor. The modern dancing was good though distractingly overprofessional (the dance teacher kept looking amazed; rightly so), the tired plot where the kid with a scrappy background needs to win the overprotected girl despite her parents' opposition and her betrothal to a jerk... well, that's an embarrassment though using the Greek community as background gave the opportunity for a touch of novelty. The Greek music and dancing were well used.

This is my second time viewing this film. I saw it a while ago because it was free on prime video. I was leary at first the first time watching this film because I saw on imbd that this was an almost unheard of film. Upon viewing I enjoyed every minute of it. The second time I enjoyed it all the more. This is a very en enjoyable hearted comedy. That being said ,for any easy freezy watch, this film has a lot going on in it's plot. It also has a nice message as well about not giving up on yourself or your dreams even when things are tough . I've always been fascinated by Greek culture. I've watched My Big Fat Greek wedding over and over again. So I enjoyed watching this film for that reason alone. On top of that, though I really thought it had a good story line. My favorite character of all was father Chris. He might be just a bit worldly . He might be a tad bit lazy. What he does do is display the compassion and love of Christ several times within the film which makes this otherwise silly comedy a heartwarming and unique viewing. I really hope more and more people will see and view this film because of Amazon prime.
