Product Description
A ballroom dance teacher takes his classical training to an inner-city school & gives the students something to believe in - themselves. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Starring: Antonio Banderas Rating: Pg13

Amazon.com
The sensuous thrill of ballroom dancing collides with the hip-hop world of self-expression in Take the Lead. Antonio Banderas (Desperado, The Mask of Zorro) stars as Pierre Dulaine, a dance teacher who--perhaps to fill a void in his own life--decides to teach the foxtrot and the tango to a group of inner-city high school students who've been put in detention. The kids sullenly resist this intruder with his silly box-steps, but gradually succumb to the allure of passion channeled into physical grace. It's a lot of hooey, of course--the stories about the individual kids are shallow melodrama--but a movie like this isn't so much about plot as about dancing, and the dancing bewitches. The main problem of Take the Lead is that there isn't enough dancing; at least half of the personal struggle of the students could be jettisoned and happily be replaced by fifteen minutes of a sleek and sexy rhumba. Still, Banderas has a warm, ingratiating presence and can spout platitudes about dance with conviction; Alfre Woodard (Crooklyn, Desperate Housewives) has her usual charismatic authority as the school's hard-nosed principal; and the dance competition at the movie's end gives the movie the lift it's wanted for the previous hour and a half. --Bret Fetzer

product delivered in very short time
beautifull movie
1 regret : in Europe only playable on your laptop, not on tv, something about restricted areas, it's a pity



5 out of 5 stars Time to take out your dancing shoes   October 31, 2008
This was a great movie. I had never seen it before and everyone has been trying to get me to watch it. I finally sat down and watched it. And I couldn't get enough of it. I would have to say out of the entire movie, the ending was the best part. From when they entered the competition to the last tango. I had a blast and it kept me on my toes. Literally I am now back in dance class. I showed my class this movie and almost all of them went to buy it. I adore this movie. Thank you Amazon for being so convenient. : )
