Summary of Shall We Dance?

John Clark (Richard Gere) has everything going for him: a solid career, a beautiful wife (Susan Sarandon) who is both a career woman and Supermom, two great kids, and a gorgeous house in the suburbs. Still, although he hates to admit it, John wants to be happier. Each night during his commute home on the train, he sees the same woman staring forlornly out the window of a dance school. At last, his curiosity gets the better of him, and John finds himself signing up for ballroom dance lessons. Keeping his new secret life from his wife and family, John joyfully discovers his inner Fred Astaire as he and his new friends prepare for an amateur dance competition. At the same time, dance instructor Paulina (Jennifer Lopez), the woman in the window, finds her own passion for dance again, while John's wife becomes convinced that he is having an affair. Stanley Tucci costars in an hilarious turn as John's coworker who is a closet ballroom dancer--sequins and all. Inspired by a Japanese film, SHALL WE DANCE? is directed by Peter Chelsom (INDIAN SUMMER) and also stars Lisa Ann Walter, Anita Gillette, Bobby Cannavale, and Omar Miller.

Los Angeles Times

A sleek Hollywood crowd-pleaser, more movie than art film, but its makers have wisely stuck not only to the spirit but often even to the letter of the original. Full Review

Saw this movie last night. I also saw the original Japanese movie. Of course, the Japanese version was more subtle (They usually are.) We Americans need everything spelled out in living color (as a rule.) But I still loved the new version, with all... Read and rate it

Very disappointing movie. Typical formulaic American rubbish. This is yet another ripoff of Foreign fare. I didn't care about these characters at all...just a bland boring formula dramady. Watch the Japanese version! Read and rate it
