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

The movie sees Ruby, the Williams character, clearly and with surprising truthfulness; she has a depth associated with more serious movies.

Leonard Klady Variety (Top Critic)

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

Although the movie bubbles occasionally, it never boils.

As far as feel-good movies go, this one works in spite of a bloated running length (over two hours) and a plot that could use an injection of originality.

Jack Mathews Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

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

For every cliche embraced in its entirety, another is subverted just enough that you're pleasantly surprised.

Too insubstantial to rise above being anything other than feel-good fluff...

Sparkles just like an old-fashioned musical--it's beautifully designed and skillfully directed.

The use of Plowright as a middle-aged frump wanting to get in on the sexy action is deeply patronizing.

What is it about dance, that most joyous of arts, that inspires so many bad movies?

James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette

When it turns its attention to bodies in motion, writhing across the floor to a salsa beat, the film is a joy to watch. When drama takes center stage, which is all too often, 'Dance' drags its feet.

A great big summer cheeseball of a movie that mildly entertains but doesn't stimulate.
