Plot: Inspired by a true story, Antonio Banderas stars as internationally acclaimed ballroom dancer Pierre Dulane. The film revolves around a professional dancer who volunteers to teach in the New York City...( read more  read more... ) public school system. But when his classic methods clash with his students' hip hop instincts, he teams up with them to create a new style of dance and becomes their mentor in the process. "Take the Lead" co-stars Alfre Woodard and marks the feature directing debut of veteran music video helmer Liz Friedlander.

    An inspiring, foot-stomping, entertaining dance movie that will entertain both younger and older viewers.

    Excellent !!! Très bon film de danse, avec une morale qui tien et qui reste tout au long du film. Antonio Banderas est génial !

    Based on a true story. Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but, apparently, so was Get Rich or Die Trying.

    As expected, it brings nothing new to the table. Troubled kids find peace through music and dancing and blah blah blah. See what I mean?

    The attraction for many will lie in Antonio Banderas. I think he may just have saved the movie. Other than a few nicely pulled off dance moves, there's really nothing to it. Not even a real story.

    i LOVE antonio banderas...he oozes charm no matter what the role...this film is very cliched but as i spent most of the film staring at antonios bum i didn't really notice...this film doesn't really take a lot of intellect to watch but its good fun to just chill out and watch with your girlfriends

    This was a cute movie, but ballroom dancing is hard to do; there is nothing sissy about it.

    Take care all,
