not as good as all the hype
Excellent, a Must See
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreI am a novice dancer but this film left me speechless. It was awesome to watch the dancing and for me to think that both Lisa and Patrick were in their early 50's when this was shot, is amazing to me. They were beautiful in the dancing as were the other dancers. What inspired me to return to dancing was the scene with the seniors doing ballet. It showed to a non dancer that it is never to late to follow your heart and maybe take up a dream you had as a youngster. Choreography was great, I enjoyed watching to process and dedication required to get the show done. This film touches the soul, if not then no film can. The story is good but the dancing is awesome. Its a shame that the film did not get picked up my a major studio I think they really lost out. Great job , well worth buying this movie.
View MoreThis is an intense work which focuses on the immense amount of strain and stress that professional dancers must undergo on a daily basis. In this case, the three main characters were unable to cope with the pressure and left the company. Seven years later, the company's tyrranical founder has died and the remaining staff recruit the former trio to premier the work which broke their dancing careers. In the process of reviving the dance, each of the three are forced to confront the psychological, interpersonal and intrapersonal issues which have plagued them for the last seven years.Unlike many other "dance" movies in which the casts are actors who have been given a few ballet lessons, the cast of this film are real dancers. The choreography is beautiful ( in fact, I watch the opening sequence multiple times in a row) and the music is absolutely amazing, ranging from classical to neoclassical to rap.
View MoreI watch One Last Dance quite often since I purchased it. I get emotional when I watch the dance because it is so beautiful. I watch Patrick Swayze quite often and I am overwhelmed as to what all he can do. I think he is a very talented individual His wife is very talented, too. I am so glad they decided to put One Last Dance on the market because I have been trying to purchase it for quite a long time.The dancers in the film are very good, too. The story line is very emotional for me, too. I recommend this DVD to everyone I talk with about purchasing DVD's. I enjoy hearing Patrick sing--of course, I enjoy Patrick no matter what he does. The more I watch One Last Dance, the more I want to watch it. "Max" does an A-One Performance. I recommend everyone to get this One Last Dance.
View More"One Last Dance" is another one of those movies whose bad word of mouth will puzzle a lot of viewers. While the major subplot has been done a hundred times before (frequently better), the music and dance are superb. Further, while Lisa Niemi (Mrs. Patrick Swayze) is a pretty inept actress, her camera setups superbly capture the dance. Besides, "One Last Dance" boasts one superb performance, that of George De La Pena ("Max"). With this movie, Lisa Niemi, for better or worse, clearly establishes herself as both the brains and drive behind Patrick Swayze.Hopefully, "One Last Dance" will usher in a whole series of dance films, both comedies and dramas; and one could certainly do much worse than the dance team of Swayze and Niemi.I give "One Last Dance" a "7".
