    Pretty good

    Dancing actually being done by the actors, a rarity now days. Black Swan you say??? Did you actually SEEE Portman doing a single dance step, the answer is no. Every 'dance' scene with her shows her upper body, or someones legs, but NEVER a full on complex ballet manoeuvre.

    This movie has good acting, it has a variety of 'sets', the actors are actually dancing (more than once) in various settings. The manner and reason in which they hook up is realistic. When she 'auditions' it is a no pressure situating in which she believes she is just enjoying dancing, which is what the 'scout' is on the look out for.

    I would have liked more actual dance training scenes with less drama in them. At the end of the day there was too much drama

    The ending dance was nice

    My favorite dance movie is the original 'shall we dance' (1996) with subtitles.

    That being said, this is worth a watch.

    Lots of great scenery and dancing

    Matthew Morrison has a long history on the stage in musicals, and it shows here, particularly in his "Singin' in the Snow" number. He really does a nice job of both dancing and singing. So does Jen Lilley, but she's on a bit of a lower level than Matthew.

    Interestingly, Morrison is often asked if he's John Wayne's grandson. He's not, but the question doesn't disturb him. LOL

    The movie has the normal number of Hallmark romance ups and downs between the couple, who both start out dedicated to "just be friends". Cracks start to appear in the promise early on, but they're forestalled, of course, by the previous girlfriend/dancing partner.

    Overall, this is an enjoyable and quite different Hallmark Christmas romance, and one we're very likely to watch again.

    I think GAC is getting its act together, finally...

    Last year was a mess for Christmas movies. What with GAC raiding the Hallmark cupboard in 2022, everyone was down last year. This year it's finally settling down and GAC and Hallmark are both doing some decent work this season's Christmas rom coms.

    That's what this is, a Christmas Rom Com. It isn't meant to be an academy award winning film. These never are. Hallmark or GAC doesn't produce these films. Look at the names of the production companies, the names of the screen writers, the names of the casting directors, the names of the producers and executive producers. They are interchangeable. They all do movies for both. Does anyone really think the production staff gives these movies the same amount of time that goes into a feature film or a TV movie? Of course not. Each production company is doing maybe 10 of these each year.

    One viewer's trash is another viewer's treasure. I love Jen Lilly. I though she was good in this movie. She dances extremely well. She sings well. It's somewhat of a musical but not really. Matthew Morrison is good in his role. Yes, both are not song and dance actors but the dances are extremely well done. Especially more so considering the time restraints they had in doing the movies. Yes Jen Lilly whines. All the female leads do a bit of that in these movies when they don't think the romance is going to work out. Or they get angry and stomp off. Again, it's a formulaic rom com. Two thirds through the movie is when every one of these movies has the romance fall apart.

    SO give them all a break, it's a feel good Christmas movie.

    Joy

    I have always been hot and cold on Jen Lilley, but I was very impressed with her performance in this one. Matthew Morrison puts on a sparkling show dancing, but Lilley surprised me since I have only ever seen her as an actor. In one number they both sing nicely.

    As to character, Lilley fits the personality of Emma. Early in the movie she oozed wonder and awe first when she saw and experienced Leo's dancing. When she needed to show a hint of lovestruck, more wonder and awe. Then they get to Paris and you almost expect her to swoon. When the big rival, Giselle, shows up, Lilley is perfect as the nervous woman slightly lacking in confidence. Morrison plays off all that to have a little awe of his own at Emma's spontaneity and joie de vivre. Yes there is plenty of chemistry between these two.

    I was disappointed in Emma that she let Giselle play her mind games even though she had been duly warned. I really expected Emma to be smarter than that. Giselle gives us something GAF sometimes (usually) lacks and that's some real tension with a good villain but not quite evil.

    Outside the story there is plenty of scenery as they tour Paris. Paris is even better at Christmas. There is even more dancing, although the qualifying round of the dance competition was somewhat boring, but necessary for the story.

    The movie was a feast worthy of the Christmas season.

    Par excellence

    8.7 stars.

    There are few Hallmark movies that receive as venerable a description as "par excellence", but I've saved it for 'Paris Christmas Waltz'. This story towers above the majority, just as the Eiffel looms atop the Parisian cityscape.

    Emma is a mere accountant hoping for an adventure. Her impossible dream is to one day dance like a professional, but she knows this is an illusion. She is a simple woman with an unattainable ambition; more a hope than a goal. She meets Leo on an icy Manhattan street, and they share a special moment.

    Leo is a Broadway dancer who needs a dance partner for an upcoming Pro-Am competition. Can this charming amateur named Emma, a simple accountant by day, aspiring dancer by night, possibly fill those shoes?

    What I love about 'Paris Christmas Waltz' is the tactile involvement we share with Jen Lilley and Matthew Morrison as they partake in a subtly seductive odyssey. This journey sweeps us through the landscape of competitive dance in Paris...full of excitement, adventure, anxiety, and fulfillment. This film is successful in transporting us into a magical place, surrounded by visions of bells, and ribbons, accompanied by grace and beauty, threatened by superiority, encumbered by inadequacy. We are engulfed in the ambience of this other world of dance. This is no ordinary Hallmark production, and I'm staggered at how notably 'Paris Christmas Waltz' transcends the watermark.

    Lilley's emotional presentation far exceeds anything I've ever seen from her, and I attribute it to Morrison's ability to invoke a marked enthusiasm. World class!
