Critic Reviews

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    I'd say Love 'n Dancing felt like an after-school special about overcoming disabilities and being the best you can be, but I fear I'd be doing a disservice to after school specials.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    From the acting, to the music, to most importantly, the dancing everything feels amateur in this film.

  • Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

    It is unfortunate when someone with a history of staging musical numbers and directing musical sequences can't make dialogue scenes flow.

  • Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

    Seems more like a dance studio's infomercial than a romantic comedy.

  • Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

    The film starts out as an empowerment story, gravitates toward romantic drama, has bits of lame comedy, and, of course, there's the dancing. Something for everyone, presumably, just none of it very good.

    I couldn't enjoy this "Energetic Filled Melo-Drama that isn't sure if it is Dumb Enough to be "Dirty dancing", or smart enough to survive as Original, Like" Save the Last Dance".

  • Angela A


    The costumes and dancing were great, but the rest of the movie was pretty underwhelming.

    Another dancing movie but this one seemed to win me over..I am a big of Amy Smart...Billy Zane did a great job too.
