There were high expectations for this film. The studio PR people made a big fuss about how Williams' co-star, the man of the one-syllable name (like Madonna), grew up watching US westerns and just knew, in his heart of hearts, that one day he would be a big star on the big screen. Well yes ... and no. Chayanne's career sort of fizzled after this film, and the film itself has sort of disappeared into 1000s of DVD libraries around the globe. If you are dance fan, it is for you. And if you are a Vanessa Williams' fan, it is for you too. Not to over-state the obvious, but there are those reviewers on the IMDb who have opined that Williams may be one of the most beautiful women of her century (a statement bound to make female readers bristle and reach for a mirror) and this could actually be true. She was striking when she won ("sort of" won) her pageant, and, like someone in a sci-fi flick with a magic mirror in the attic, her face seems to have improved with age. For fanboys, this otherwise forgettable film may be the last chance to see her at her best, and that by itself is enough reason to consider this for your collection.

There is no question about the way the film ends, there was no suspense at all involved in this film, no imagination used in any aspect. The Story was poorly written, the acting was poorly directed, the actors were poorly chosen and the entire film made me feel like I should hate the person who forced me to sit through this overdone waste of time. It was just awful in every way. There was nothing good about this film. It was a formula film with all expected parts. I feel as though I have been violated and that exaggeration is the only form of recourse here, as an effort to ensure no one else suffers through this film. Endlessly scrubbing dirt off of a mud patch would be a better way to spend the afternoon.

I don't get it. Why does this movie have so low a rating. I mean i realize its not the greatest ever, but its certainly not a 4 pointer either. It deserves at least a 7 or a 7.5 Some might even give it 8. This definitely one of those cases where the IMDb rating is certainly not correct. In my opinion.The dancing and music are of course very good. To see Chayanne do his stuff is like magic. He shows you how the music leads him. But even the dialogs are so great, people somehow tend to miss that. A real pity. It could be better no doubt, but it certainly isn't a bad movie. So why the ridiculously low rating.

I saw the movie "DANCE WITH ME" because there was nothing else interesting on. If I had known it would be so entertaining I would have watched it years ago. Like "STRICTLY BALLROOM", it is a beautiful mix of music, fun and dancing. This movies shows an intensity and passion between 2 people that is lacking in most modern movies. Most movies never develop a love story.....rather they jump into some steamy sexual situation. What happened to leaving things to our imagination....Happily Ever After!!! Don't get me wrong, the script was lacking at times, but the performers made up for it with energy, and realism. Who can't relate to being torn between something you love and something you want. Vanessa L. Williams is outstanding. If she had starred in "MOULIN ROUGE", I may have been able to watch the whole thing. Vanessa is one of the few MULTI-TALENTED PERFORMERS(singer, actress and NOW dancer)overlooked by Hollywood. Few women can do it all. Not since the likes of Judy Garland, Audrey Hepburn, and Ginger Rodgers. "DANCE WITH ME" is worth watching.
