Critic Reviews

  • Leonard Klady, Variety

    The real creative opportunities lie in visual and choreographic options, and Haines doesn't miss a beat in either department.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    Although the movie bubbles occasionally, it never boils.

  • Jack Mathews, Los Angeles Times

    Throughout the film, Haines treats...banal moments as epiphanies, telegraphing every feeling and thought with annoying coyness.

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    Although Dance With Me disappoints on almost every level, it still leaves you mildly elated...

  • Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle

    Promises to be one of the summer's best date movies.

    Watchable but easily forgetable

  • Leigh R


    I love anything with dancing in it. :)

  • Dannielle A


    Exciting! Shows the devastating effects of premarital sex.

  • Deb S


    A fun film in spite of a drab storyline and most enjoyable because of the dance scenes! The male lead is handsome, likable and gives a reasonable acting performance and there's good support from Kris Kristofferson and Vanessa Williams.

  • Yinalí R
