All the hype when it was at the cinema. Hailed as the new Grease. It just didn't appeal to me. No musical could possibly beat Grease and it would be so overrated. So when I saw it at my local supermarket for cheap I thought i'd give it a try and I almost kicked myself after watching it. Not for spending money on it but for not seeing it on the big screen. The songs are so beautifully sung by a magnificent cast and so catchy you just want to sing along and be apart of it. I immediately ordered the soundtrack when it finished. Nikki Blonsky was cast perfectly as Tracy Turnblad and Zac Efron (I don't usually like him in HSM but he won me round in this) was the right choice of Link. John Travolta also had me laughing in every one of his scenes as ... Read More:

This is not the sort of movie I go for, but having read a few glowing reviews elsewhere about the film and the quality of picture and sound, and given that it is selling for well under £10, I thought I'd try it.
If you don't like musicals then its best to avoid, but I don't mind them and hoped this would be entertaining part of the film.
From the outset, the movie is crammed with songs, maybe one or two could be better or one or two less for me, and a little more dialogue. I felt it became a bit too broadway,but seeing as this is taken from the stageshow I can see how it's turned out that way.
Some people are saying it's the new Grease or some are going OTT and saying it's better, but I can report IMO, it's not in the same Grade.

this was worth the watch when i was 15 coz it had the grand combination of gorgeous elijah, a dolphin, and paul hogan. though i really dont know what paul hogan was doing in florida, but hey, i'm a kenyan in the uk!(yes, it was set in florida, not australia, hence only one person had an australian accent!)good acting from elijah wood, even when he had to contend with such cheese as an evil guy who wanted to feed him to the sharks. cool dolphin. nice place to live!hey, i wouldnt buy it for myself but a 12 year old daughter would probably love you for it!

I ordered this film for Black History month, and I really enjoyed this film. I found the concept of this film extremely good! It changed my perception of black history, history in general, the importance of family as an institution, and the underlying capacity to heal problems in the present day, regardless of colour race or creed.

6.Take the Lead [2006] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Antonio Banderas, Rob Brown (VI), Yaya DaCosta, Alfre Woodard, John Ortiz

DVD : Take the Lead [2006] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Overly plotted, sloppily directed, but utilizing some passable dance sequences, Take The Lead won't show you anything new that you haven't seen in the documentary Mad Hot Ballroom or even on Fox's You Think You Can Dance. Alfie Woodard and Antonio Banderas indeed save this movie, which is full of clichéd characters and middling dance music cornball.

The movie starts off well, combining the world of privilege and elegant ballroom dancing with the frantic world and survival mode existence of rough and tough inner-city high school students. Banderas plays Pierre Dulaine, a man who believes in the transformative power of art, and so he volunteers to teach ballroom dancing at a tough, inner-city high school in New York.
