Dirty Middle-Aged Dancing.......2007-08-28

"One Last Dance" is a Swayze family affair (to quote Mystery Science Theater 3000 "have a Patrick Swayze Christmas!"),complete with Swayze's real-life wife Lisa Niemi,choreography from his mother Patsy,and his daughter Bambi part of the corps de ballet. "One Last Dance" sounds like a sappy clunker,but in some ways it's surprisingly good.

The two major strengths of "One Last Dance" are its music and choreography. The soundtrack is incredibly bittersweet and melancholy,a true tearjerker even when the dialogue is maudlin. The dancers are incredibly talented. It's more of a music video than a movie with its focus on the human body in motion. Both classical music as well as a Brazilian dance song highlight the dancers' strengths.

Unfortunately,"One Last Dance" is burdened with a hopelessly sappy plot. Travis (Swayze),Chryssa (Niemi) and Max (George De La Pena) are reunited for a tribute dance concert. Travis finds out he has a long-lost daughter,a child he never knew he fathered. Max struggles with his talents. Chryssa is dealing with her reunion with her former lover. Everything is melodramatically resolved;there aren't any unexpected plot twists.

Since this is a Patrick Swayze movie,there is a requisite shirtless scene and homoeroticism (Travis gets hit on by the artistic director,and he dances sensually with Max in the final pas de trois)

It's not a MST3K-worthy movie like "Road House",but it is like a French appetizer called an amuse bouche.The dancing is a delight to watch,and the soundtrack is worth listening to (even when one can shut out the plot-or lack of it)

Oh my, but this is beautiful!.......2007-08-24

This movie is Patrick Swayze at his prettiest, I swear! If you thought he was beautiful in Dirty Dancing, that was just a tease! This is Swayze the dancer, and his love of the dance. We may never see him this way again.

I would recommend this as a date movie if you are people who enjoy art, dance, theater and can admire style and form. It was a lovely break from the intense stuff I usually watch - and balance is always a good thing.

Here's hoping it truly is the last dance!.......2007-01-05

This is not Dirty Dancing. The movie had no flow, and when it ended it had no where to go anyway. The acting
was sloppy at best and the dancing, the reason one would buy such a movie, was just tolerable. Don't know what
the director of this bomb was thinking, but here's hoping this was their last film.
