When lonely hearts want to connect, is there any better way, really, than dancing? Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School is a sweet indie valentine to dance, and to the connection of lost, broken souls. The stellar cast is led by English Everyguy Robert Carlyle, a widower who believes he's fulfilling a dying man's last wish--to find a long-lost love--by showing up at a Thursday night dance class. Carlyle is by turns awkward, warm, sincere and bewildered, perfectly believable as a man awash in grief yet hoping to rejoin life. It turns out that dance class, led by the theatrical Mary Steenburgen, holds his lifeline. Other strong performances come from Marisa Tomei, Sean Astin, John Goodman, Ernie Hudson, David Paymer, Camryn Manheim and Sonia Braga, all of whom play people yearning for something, some one. Viewers may get distracted early in the film, seeing Carlyle in a dance venue and secretly hoping the soundtrack would queue up "You Sexy Thing," to get to see Carlyle reprise some of his fabulous shtick from The Full Monty. But it turns out Carlyle is just as winning performing the Lindy Hop or waltz. And, the film suggests, once the body moves and the soul is stirred--can love be far behind? The answer is: May I have the honor of this dance? Extras include the short 1990 film this feature was based on and an audio commentary. --A.T. Hurley

Masgical is the best way for me to describe this films. It's funny, sad, touching, and all around well crafted. I loved the ways they changed the color for the 2 different flashbacks and then normal color of the prestent storyline. I thought it was clever to mix the original short film (which ... Read More

I particularly enjoyed the way that this film told a story in and out of sequence. The manner for which it flowed was out of the ordinary, which gripped the audiences attention and kept it there consistently. This is what fine story telling on film is all about.
The writing was well accomplished with a sense of depth and emotion to each character's personal struggles.
This story is about moving on despite life's difficulties and is enriched by the talents of all who were involved ... Read More

I never heard of this movie until recommended by Amazon. Looked it up and
noticed it stars Robert Carlyle, an actor I have liked since I saw The Full Monty. It is very sweet and charming but also has a sad story. It certainly kept me entertained.

"Dance is a very powerful drug" Starts Miss Marienne Hotchkiss."If embraced judiciously it can exorcise demos,access deep-seated emotion and color your life in joyous shades of brilliant magenta that you never knew existed."Miss Hotchkiss concludes,"But one must shoulder its challenges with intrepid countenance if one is to reap its rewards.Are you up to it?"
MISS HOTCHKISS' BALLROOM DANCING AND CHARM SCHOOL is a most unusual look at "guilt as a worthless emotion" and breaking free of ... Read More

This DVD's been released for a couple of years. It's already been competently précised by other reviewers. Overwhelmingly, they seem to admire it - as do I. Rather than cover already familiar ground, I'd prefer to take issue with several misplaced criticisms:
1) The "off-putting" title: Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School
Anyone claiming the title is "off-putting" needs to cultivate more curiosity in picking their DVDs. That's not to mention recognizing ... Read More
