Profile of Strictly Ballroom

The mood of Strictly Ballroom is stylized, feel good, and witty. The plot centers around going against the rules, dancers, and underdogs. It is an independent, romance, and drama movie. Stylistically, Strictly Ballroom is a melodrama. In approach, it is realistic. The setting is Australia. Strictly Ballroom happens in the 1990s. The musical score is pop. The movie is known for being an award winner and critically acclaimed. Strictly Ballroom is especially suggested for a girls' night and a date night. Note that it includes profanity.

Summary of Strictly Ballroom

A top ballroom dancer pairs with a plain, left-footed local girl when his maverick style earns him the disdain of his more conventionally-minded colleagues. Together, the team gives it their all and makes dreams of the National Championship title come true. Directed in a delicious high-key style by director Luhrmann (WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO + JULIET) in his madcap debut.

Rolling Stone

Luhrmann is a director with the style and snap to have these tired routines on their feet and kicking like a line of Rockettes. Full Review

Variety

Within the confines of this tried-and-true formula, Luhrmann has concocted a feel-good entertainment, which is lively, original (in an old-fashioned sort of way) and charming. Full Review

It started out really campy, and I was a bit concerned (I'm not a camp movie type). I stuck with it though and it toned way down. I especially liked the (not sure of the spelling) Spanish "Pasa Doble" scene. I still could only rate it 2 stars... Read and rate it
