andrzej w @RT58026638 10/02/2022 It may not be revolutionary or original but it has soul; Great performance from Antonio Banderas. See more Emilio T @MilloTPue 11/14/2021 Between 2.5 and 3 stars. A too many times told story (white professor saves blacks boys), with a few clichés, but, anyway, it works in its style. See more nilufer e @Nilicim 06/26/2020 Probably because I have two left feet and no sense of rhythm I love movies about dancing. This one also had a good plot based on a real life story. The only dance scene Antonio Banderas had was to die for. See more steve d @RT35616104 06/26/2020 Cute but somewhat forgettable. Antonio Banderas is a blast in it though. See more 10/29/2018 Take the lead isn't so much a motion picture as it is a lesson in how to force-feed every aspect of cinema into a formula. There's not a lot I can say in defense of Take the Lead. It's a Hollywood product, likely designed primarily for the DVD market. In the interests of maximum appeal, it loses any potential hard edges, soft peddling tough issues that deserve to be shown in their full ugliness. I don't doubt that there's a good story to be found in Dulaine's experiences, but it's not told here. If the topic interests you, I suggest bypassing Take the Lead and renting Mad Hot Ballroom. Not only is it a better made film, but it features richer characters and is a lot more suspenseful. (Could have been better but for the lack of a story).
