Il pugile e la ballerina

Very thin Hallmark-type romantic drama film with an incredibly predictable plot, and wooden acting from the lead characters. The introduction of the main character's mother at the end (it was obvious from the introductory scenes that this would happen, so this isn't really a spoiler) was probably meant to spice up the romantic side of the story and bring some drama, but the way the story unfolded, you could sort of anticipate every next plot point, and how it would get resolved. A couple of the supporting characters added some much needed comedy to this dreary film. From a production standpoint, the dance scenes worked, but the lighting and angles in some of the more tense and dramatic scenes were what people call unresolved. Whelp, when this is the only thing on in the waiting room and you have 90 minutes to kill, and this is what's on, this might be your jam.
