Let it be me

Enjoyable movie,i thought they made Jennifer Beals look to old though, and she didn't show much passion through out the movie.Yancy Butler on the other hand was just awesome,I wish she made more films showing off her sensual side as she did in this one. Patrick Stewart made the film in my opinion. He puts great energy into any character that he plays.The film was somewhat predictable you could see the ending coming. The dancing you could tell looked rehearsed, but since these are professional dancers or teachers you expected more speed and confidence from their moves.The ending also seemed rushed. I would have liked to have seen more passion,sexual tension, between the couples.Some jealousies between the couples would have given the movie more depth also. I am a Yancy Butler fan and that is why i was looking for this movie to come out and it finally did on cable. I hope they make it into a DVD
