6/10
Unstoppable silliness nice for good laughs

Everything here is so preposterous to even take it seriously. If you try to make the synopsis, even that sounds like the deranged ramblings of someone very high in powerful 80's colombian produce, if you catch my drift LOL... Maybe that's how this was pitched and greenlit back then, who knows?

Unlike The Forbbiden Dance there are here more production values: a bigger cast, more dancing pros, a not-so-bad OST, but still, let's see what happen here: a guy who is high school teacher by day an THE Lambada-king at night (and happen to be mexican-born too) left his wife and kid in a daily basis, to go and keep his talents working only to be discovered by one of his students (a Melora Hardin that look here very into her 20's) and use that brazilian dance as learning tool for a bunch of East LA kids that want to learn computer programming. HAHAHA! No, REALLY...

Like there was a script ready for a movie about an awesome and cool teacher (like Stand and Deliver or Lean on Me) but when the lambada fad (and the colombian produce) kicked in the suits at charge decided to make a movie about it putting all into the blender.

Melora Hardin is HOT in here, and I suppose the dancing teacher isn't that bad looking either.

This is the kind of flick to watch when there is nothing else, for fun and giggles.

Kinda recommend it.
