Netflix fans all say same thing about Jennifer Lopez's 'forgotten' rom-com
Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez , and some sizzling on-screen chemistry - there's a 2004 flick on Netflix that ticks all the boxes for an ideal feel-good movie. Helmed by Peter Chelsom for the Hollywood audience, Shall We Dance? is a reimagining of the 1996 Japanese hit of the same title, originally directed by Masayuki Suo. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Lisa Ann Walter, Nick Cannon, and Anita Gillette. It was a box-office hit, raking in a cool $170 million worldwide, cementing its status as a commercial triumph. A charming romantic comedy at heart, Shall We Dance?, follows John Clark (played by Gere), a lawyer who seems to have it all but senses a void in his life as he enters its autumn years. A glimpse of the enchanting Paulina (Jennifer Lopez) in a dance studio window leads him to impulsively sign up for ballroom dancing classes. The story unfolds into an uplifting journey filled with newfound friendships, unexpected joy, and a rejuvenated zest for life during its later stages. While the film received generally positive feedback from viewers, critics were divided, with one review noting: "Shall We Dance? stumbles into a tight corner between comedy and romance, failing to satisfy on either count." One critic said: "This excellent and acclaimed cast is shoved into a film whose screenplay should have alerted them that it's not ready to go before the cameras," and another review said: "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." Not all feedback was negative, with some more enamoured by the feature, evidenced by a review saying: "Shall We Dance? celebrates marriage, self-renewal, the benefits of acting on impulse and the courage to dance to your own mambo beat. Audiences susceptible to its charms will be dancing down the aisles." A mixed critique came from yet another source, who said: "It's hard not to get caught up in this film, despite its many flaws, primarily because Gere makes for a sympathetic figure, a middle-aged man just wanting to feel something new in the autumn of his life." To top off the range of opinions, one reviewer's entertaining take quipped: "...if you're not prepared to watch Richard Gere pulsate for 106 minutes, you're not going to have much fun with this picture." The audience appeared to have a largely positive response to the film. One viewer expressed their delight: "Found myself smiling through much of this movie. A wonderful tale of the mundane in life's routines, desires, lust, love, and outright joy . There's always a "this doesn't happen in real life" feeling about a movie like this, but I didn't care. Great cast, and great to have a movie like this! Pure entertainment with heart! ! Loved it! ! !". Another audience member praised the film's "feel-good" nature, saying: "This was a really nice, feel-good movie, the dancing was great. I'm glad the story didn't take the turn I was fearing. Richard Gere was spectacular in one of his usual lovable characters. He's just got an irresistible.. something. Stanley Tucci was hilarious, I just love that guy." However, not all reviews were glowing, with one critic drawing a comparison to the film's Japanese original and finding the American adaptation lacking: "Hollywood attempts to clone the success of the original Japanese film and falls flat on its face. What was a movie about proudly expressing oneself became yet another boring chick-flick."
