VividSimon Simply Perfect

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Tierra Plowden I watched Dance Hall Queen back when i was a little girl living in Florida, and it gets a lot easier to understand the accents the more you watch it. I recently watched it again and the message to women to be strong and sexy and standing your ground was still there even more now that I'm a 24 year old mother. If you love foreign, Indy type Genres, then you will love the quirkiness of the characters, and settings and hate the stone hearts of the villains.I found myself each time cheering for the Main character, and I love her transformation from hobo looking street vendor, to sexy, dazzling beauty. I also liked seeing a women who had her own even if it was just a little to some, and got more herself.

metorahtid-1 I think the movie showed a side of Jamaica that often goes unnoticed in the tourism adds. I really liked Marcia, there was something real about her character. I also enjoyed the daughter, Tanya. She had spunk, and was a little more understandable.Paul Campbel is excellent in his role as Priest. The dialect was fun for me.. and if you watched the film on DVD you could use the subtitles as Jamaican Patios 101 (smile). The story is real however. I find that majority of the Jamaicans i meet who are working class or from a less affluent side of town love the film...The same doesn't always hold true from others though. Well if you want to be entertained...i think this is a very very entertaining movie and it showcases the darker side of Jamaica...while taking you into the "real dancehall".A definite must see

natnats this is the best film in the world!it is about a poor street vendor who finds some Gd luck for herself when she enters the world of dance hall!i was hooked since the first time i saw this film!it is very influencing!what makes the film so good is the dancing and the great songs!i have just got the soundtrack and it is wicked!my favourite song is the song were they say "beenie check olivine" i am only in my teens and teens and this is my favourite films.it kinda shows me my roots because my grandparents come from Jamaica it shows you that no matter who you are you can be anything you wanna be!my favourite is Marcia she is so funny!and Larry is such a fool!Tanya and Tasha are so funny!Esp in the kentucke fried chicken part!!but this is a must see film i watch it like everyday!i am going to Jamaica for my birthday in august and dance hall queen was an inspiration!

Devans00 I often found the accents hard to understand. I could understand the "educated" daughter better than the street vendor mother. But the expressiveness and good acting of the star helped me out. I also enjoyed seeing a view onto a culture I wasn't familiar with. Funny how some things are universal, though. (Shady men taking advantage of poor women)The ending was poetic justice.
