Critic Reviews
-
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Under the clunky direction of Peter Chelsom, while forced to mouth inane dialogue by Audrey Wells ... a swell bunch of troupers get mangled in a monsoon of clichés.
-
Charles Taylor, Salon.com
There are so many appealing performers in Shall We Dance? that it's a crime the director, Peter Chelsom, and the screenwriter, Audrey Wells, haven't given them more to do.
-
Jen Chaney, Washington Post
Occasionally charming but ultimately forgettable bit of fox-trot fluff.
-
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Takes a small, exquisite Japanese movie and turns it into a big, stupid American movie. Still, it must be said that as glossy and overproduced as the thing is, it's a good Big Stupid American movie.
-
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Turns a sweet, lilting story into a clunky, clichéd and tedious movie sitcom.
