Perfect cast and a good story

Best movie ever!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

"Finding Your Feet" dragged on too long with a thin plot strung out with poor pacing. Yet, the film exuded good feeling from a fine group of British performers. The goal was to try to inject some gusto in life to the elderly. Due to some good British humor and the ensemble cast, the film largely succeed.The most touching relationship in the film was between the sisters, Sandra and Bif. After a decade-long separation, "Lady" Sandra returns to her humble origins with her sister after her constable husband has betrayed her with another woman. The story then unfolds around the "lust for life" theme embraced by Bif and her friends, who welcome Sandra into the fold.Sandra was a former dancer, once auditioning for a production of "A Chorus Line." She now joins forces with the "Age UK" amateur dancer group. She meets a kindly man, Charlie Glover, whose wife is dying of Alzheimers. The balance of the film tries to sustain the ebb-and-flow in the romantic relationship of Sandra and Charlie. The filmmakers work overtime in trying to develop the "lust for life" theme of the senior citizens. There was a nice character transformation for Sandra, who appears "on her high horse" at the outset, then discovers a new world through the simple things of life, such as genuine conversation, fun at the dance hall, and a reunion with her sister.There was a well-chosen line from Mark Twain spoken in the film by Bif, who subsequently learns that she is dying of lung cancer: "I was dead for billions of years before I was born, and I've not suffered the slightest inconvenience for it." The film succeeds in its theme of letting go of the past. It also unfolds the conflict of whether Sandra will return to the superficial world of her husband or "take a leap" into the unknown with Charlie, who is embarking on a new life in the beautiful Camargue region near Arlès in Southern France.The film really begins to drag when the Age UK group is invited to perform at the Rome Bienele festival. Still, the photography was beautiful in both the English and Italian settings, the scoring was always spot-on for both the dance and incidental music, and the audience remained on pins and needles as to whether Sandra would take her leap.

So as soon as I saw the cast of the movie, I knew it was going to be a great one, I didn't even have to watch the trailer to know that. This movie is a mixture of comedy, sadness and happy vibes. It will leave you feeling happy and wanting to make the most of your life. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants a feel good adventure!

You heard it here first! Perfect for an adult stage musical.The advise it as "Full Monty type but it really isn't.

Sandra, Lady Abbott (Imelda Staunton), is looking forward to life with her newly-retired police chief husband Mike (John Sessions, for no good reason doing one of his 'amusing' accents, this time Welsh) when she discovers said hubby has been having an affair for five years. Her dreams shattered, she leaves him and goes to live with her Bohemian sister Bif (Celia Imrie) on a grotty council estate in London. As she begins to adjust to her new circumstances and to face the rest of her life, Sandra gets drawn into Bif's circle of dancing class friends, including Jackie (Joanna Lumley - with grey hair!) and Charlie (Timothy Spall), who has a tragic secret of his own.This is not high art, and certainly not original: all the plotlines have been well-used in various other films, plays, television shows, books... Nor is it always well-plotted: the manner in which the dancers win their trip to Rome is pretty unbelievable. But it is the kind of low-budget, feel-good, entertaining film that the UK does rather well, with hordes of British thesps competently performing in roles that do not really stretch them (although personally I would have preferred Lumley to be given more to do). Filmsnobs will not enjoy it; those who wish to be gently entertained will. It delivers chuckles, not belly-laughs. (And - who knew - Timothy Spall is a credible romantic hero! Honestly, by the end of the film I was ready to run off with him myself...)
