Reviews
Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
homespun13 This movie was probably meant for a very specific audience, one that I do not belong to. Reading these reviews here, it seems the movie was appreciated by professional dancers. I once considered myself a dance, though certainly not a professional, but I still found this movie very VERY boring. I thought that the star - Patrick Swayze - could carry any movie and could do no wrong. Well, apparently even Patrick Swayze needs some substance to make a movie a hit. I have seen other low budget films and being low budget does not necessarily mean the movie is bad. I don't think low budget is this movie's problem. This movie appeals to a very specific and narrowly defined public. It's definitely not aimed at the "average viewer". If you are not a professional dancer, or one who appreciates their world, you will probably find this movie as boring and soulless as I did.
jenn-241 As someone who has been dancing all her life and is now a dance teacher and a writer for a dance magazine, I must say that this movie SUCKED!!!! What a joke!! Doug Varone and Desmond Richardson, two incredibly respected artists, what are you DOING involved in this crap?? Patrick Swayze and the woman are so unbelievably over the top, their acting is just ridiculous. And the dancing isn't even good, the choreography is hysterically bad, and the cinematography leaves you unable to even see the movement.If you are a dancer, get your dancer friends together, get wasted and have a great laugh with this unbelievable joke of a movie. Especially if you are anti- a lot of contemporary modern crap that's out there right now, you'll die laughing.
Petrushka This could have been a great movie about dancers growing old, or older. Both Swayze and De La Pena were wonderful dancers in their prime but to be only 7 years away from professional dancing as stated in this film is frankly, a bit ridiculous when it is obviously many more years than that - more like 20. There is certainly a lot of pain in a dancer's life from growing older and no longer being capable of dancing the way you once could. There are some very accurate statements made in the film relating to this. The choreography is somewhat boring. Just a lot of lyrical steps, well executed by the young dancers, but lacking any meaning. Just meaningless steps on one level, saying nothing.
de-111 I enjoyed One Last Dance based on the play Without A Word, which is a perfect description for this independent drama - a celebration of contemporary dance in America. Independent film is huge today. Lucky for us! Here, so much is communicated without a word; dance is central, the plot, not sacrificed but secondary. This film lingers without languishing, it draws you in. Emotionally charged, it captivates - truly a thing of artistic beauty! See this film if you love to watch dance. See it if you dance. See it if you want to feel the movement, the heartbeat, the spirit of a dancer. It is a love story. The most delightful unexpectedly tender moments for me were between parent and child. Kudos to the Director, and don't pass up the insightful commentary on the DVD!
