Review: One of the most egregious and unforgiveable DVD absences is set right at long last. There are no tech details listed yet, so I can only hope the studio intends to handle this release like the jewel it should be -- including background on the original stage production and giving the film itself the full-tilt digital treatment.If you're a 'Moulin Rouge' fan who's not yet experienced the gleefully malfeasant, candy-colored universe of the Pan-Pacific Grand Prix Amateur Championships, you're in for a fabulous treat. If, like me, you've been anticipating this DVD release above many others, go us!! No, it's not cinematic rocket science or brain surgery or even really a gourmet meal, but from the opening 'documentary' to the final steps, unless your curmudgeon status is chronic and immutable, it's simply not possible to maintain a bad mood while viewing. For a movie like this, that's all you really need to know.

Summary: Wonderfully Entertaining
Review: I loved this movie and I'm so glad it will be out in DVD soon. I can't wait. It's the Australian version of DIRTY DANCING. Paul Mercurio plays a ballroom dancer who is tired of traditional dance steps and wants to change the direction of dancing. The story combines family expectations, dance, romance and comedy. I know anyone who likes to see Australian movies will like this one. Enjoy!

Summary: Gotta Dance
Review: For all of you incurable romantics out there, this one you've got to see. It's your classic "ugly duckling turns into a beautiful swan with the help of a charming prince" story. Just throw in a little Australian humor and of course the spectacular dancing style of Paul Mercurio and you have a flick that you can watch again and again. It just makes you feel good, not to mention making you want to take up ballroom dancing.

Summary: Not just for dance-lovers
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I don't care a whit about ballroom dancing. The film is an off-beat spoof of the truly bizarre sub-culture associated with competitive ballroom dancing in eastern Australia. The central love story of the film is predictable but nonetheless charming, and the dancing chemistry between the two principal characters contrasts sharply with the superficial intimacy of other dancing pairs portrayed. The film is tremendous fun and, yes, loaded with terrific dancing.

Summary: A MUST SEE!!

Summary: Strictly fantastic!
Review: What can I say but great things come from down under. This hilarious, saucy take on the world of competitive ballroom dancing has something for everyone. A great soundtrack, perfect casting, and terrific costumes. Anyone with a competitive spirit will appreciate and fall in love with this film!

Summary: The Test of True Genius
Review: Luhrmann took an almost hackneyed story, a cast of local unknowns, a budget running into the hundreds of dollars, and managed to make a truly satisfying film. This isn't art, it isn't supposed to be. It's entertainment, plain and simple. It is a movie meant to lighten your load for 90 minutes and maybe leave you feeling a little better about your world after it's done. Just enjoy it.

Summary: Great fun on a rainy day
Review: This is one of my favorite movies to watch on a rainy day. Pre-dating Muriel's Wedding as the irreverent Aussie comedy for all, this film is truly entertaining. It is full of humor and also has a wonderful romantic side that avoids being too sappy. Five stars!

Summary: Luhrmann's Greatest...
Review: If you loved Moulin Rouge or Romeo and Juliet, then you will go nuts for this film! It's Luhrmann's style, wild and fun, and the romance/dance scenes are spectacular! I don't know why this movie doesn't get more play, I absolutely love it!
