Amazon.com:
The sensuous thrill of ballroom dancing collides with the hip-hop world of self-expression in Take the Lead. Antonio Banderas (Desperado, The Mask of Zorro) stars as Pierre Dulaine, a dance teacher who--perhaps to fill a void in his own life--decides to teach the foxtrot and the tango to a group of inner-city high school students who've been put in detention. The kids sullenly resist this intruder with his silly box-steps, but gradually succumb to the allure of passion channeled into physical grace. It's a lot of hooey, of course--the stories about the individual kids are shallow melodrama--but a movie like this isn't so much about plot as about dancing, and the dancing bewitches. The main problem of Take the Lead is that there isn't enough dancing; at least half of the personal struggle of the students could be jettisoned and happily be replaced by fifteen minutes of a sleek and sexy rhumba. Still, Banderas has a warm, ingratiating presence and can spout platitudes about dance with conviction; Alfre Woodard (Crooklyn, Desperate Housewives) has her usual charismatic authority as the school's hard-nosed principal; and the dance competition at the movie's end gives the movie the lift it's wanted for the previous hour and a half. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Dancing with Stars meet Antonio B
I really enjoyed the fact that this was based on a true story. I would have liked a little more romantic connection for A.B. However if you love dancing and love A.B.- you will be satisfied



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Believe in Oneself
Sacha Molitorisz from Sydney Morning Herald said about this movie that "the music is excellent. Gershwin classics sit beside hip hop artists". And Jeffrey Lyons from NBC-TV said about the same movie, "Exhilarating and enormously entertaining". Indeed, as Louise Keller, [...], "A feel - good story using music and dance...Take the Lead is entertaining. Antonio Banderas charms...and a vital young cast ispires with passionate performance". From a slightly different angle, Rob Lowing, The Sun - Herald ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Loved This Movie-Great Guide For Youth On Respect Of Others
I bought this movie for the underlining theme of respect for one another no matter who you are or what your situation is at the time. We should all care for one another and teach our children to respect their selves first-then others-you have to love who you are before you can love another-which requires forgiveness-Forgiveness is also taught in this movie-ART IS FOR EVERYONE-IT ENRICHES OUR LIVES! THANKS FOR OFFERING THIS GREAT MOVIE!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Take The Lead
