Ask Me to Dance

Went and saw Ask Me To Dance this weekend and we loved it. We were laughing and smiling the whole movie. You can easily put yourself in the co-stars Tom Malloy and Briana Evigan shoes for their struggles and frustration to try and find love. One of the most heartwarming, delightful and funny romantic comedies you will see for a long time. The supporting cast were terrific as everyone has those members in their family or circle of friends and can definitely relate to them. I am not a dancer but I truly loved the dance scenes and could feel the passion when they danced. I highly recommend this movie if you want to go see movie full of love, comedy and romance. If you liked Sleepless in Seattle you will love this movie.

: Ask Me to Dance starts as we meet Jill (Evigan) who has been searching for love before her best friend's wedding. She gets sent on a string of dates that go wrong, despite being told she would find love before the end of the year. Elsewhere, Jack (Malloy) has been going through the same problem, going through disastrous dates too.

As the wedding comes closer, Jill and Jack find themselves almost meeting, leading to them getting frustrated by love. They question whether the fortune-telling was just making things up to make them feel more loved. This is very very awesome, perfect, fantastic and so lovely.

Mario Cantone is fabulous and very funny as Patrick. Carter surprised constantly as you never know what he will say next. This is a movie about finding someone who sees life as you see life not trying to change you. Briana and Tom had great chemistry apart in their journey to find love and we all can relate to the dates gone bad. Briana's warmth shines and individual characters are allowed to shine. Watch out for "psycho girl" who quickly becomes a wedding problem. The dancing was great beginning to end! Oh, and Kurt Angle!!! Joyce DeWitt looked great and was not what you expect from her which was fun. I did not think of Tom as a cat person, I thought a French Bulldog would be more his style!

What sets "Ask Me to Dance" apart is its ability to blend comedic moments with poignant ones, creating a well-rounded narrative that resonates with the audience on various emotional levels.

In conclusion, "Ask Me to Dance" is a delightful blend of romance, humor, and dance that leaves a lasting impression. Its charming characters, captivating dance sequences, and touching storyline make it a must-watch film that will leave you with a warm and inspired heart long after the credits roll.

Another self-produced and distributed vanity film by - yes, really - director, producer, writer, distributor, AND star Tom Malloy. Even seeing two of these credits listed simultaneously is a red flag for some of the most talented names in the industry, and this auteur is clearly not going to be accused of talent. The Tommy Wiseau vibes are thick in this 93-minute mess, a confused mishmash of boring, unfunny clichés desperately pushed through strained paces. One thinks he should perhaps stop trying, and knows that this is another film to miss. Dance fans have many less inept options to choose from. (1/10 stars)
