Mad About Mambo (movie)

I was only partially watching this movie last night.

It was cute. Sort of a reversed Pretty in Pink, where Keri Russell's character is rich and priviledged and the male lead's character is poor.

Typical late teen/early 20's flick with an Irish slant. The acting will occasionally make you cringe, the dialogue moreso (Keri Russell gives a hilarious unintended double entendre towards the end - I'm sure the writers didn't mean it that way), the plot is cliched, and the dancing & music wasn't so great, lol.

But hey, if you're looking for a light romantic comedy with at least a little dancing, this might be something to rent.
 
I saw this a few years ago.
I got some a girl called Felicity or it's the girl from some show "Felicity" ( I don't watch that much TV).
It was set in Belfast or somewhere up north.
I don't remember the story but I do remember the school was a Samba school and the soundtrack wasn't great (low budge). There was even a Spice girls song in it.
Apparently the best way to improve you soccer skills is Samba?

I must confess though. This film and "Born Romantic" where in the DVD bargain bucket in my local Video shop.
I think it cost 10 Euro (converts to practically nothing) for the 2 DVD's I didn't buy them but now I wish I did.
I would like to see them again.
Neither are really dance movies.
 
I remember watching this movie. This is not a movie that will make one go out and learn how to dance salsa, or to bend it like Beckham, for that matter, but it was pleasantly watchable.
 
Yes, from what I understand, Keri Russell was the main character for the tv series, Felicity.

She really needed to work on her Irish accent, though. It was pretty awful, lol, and was a pretty constant point of amusement.
