Okay, so the acting is not that great and the plot is as predictable as the sun coming up every morning, but if you really want to see some superb swing dancing (though not by the main characters) then this movie is worth your time. Zane and Smart play 2 people soon to be married, but he's an Uber workaholic who does not appreciate (or even truly love?) his fiancée (she teaches middle school English classes), and we just want her to dump him, and toot sweet. Our hero is an ex-swing dance champion, now a dance teacher, and just happens to be deaf. Explaining how a deaf person can still dance to the beat of the music was explained nicely in this film, and for that I gave it a few more points. But what really makes this film is not the main stars or even the supporting cast and their various personas, but the professional dancers hired as contestants for competitions and showcases. The ending competition was well worth the wait, and something worth watching over again. Totally amazing. So put on your dance shoes and give this one a whirl.
score 7/10
