A little more fury might have been a whole lot better.

Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

As progressive as it might feel for fat guys, losers and salsa stalwarts, it's rotten for women

Amy Nicholson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

It's not a bad gimmick, but the movie turns tediously sentimental fast.

Wesley Morris, Grantland
Fresh

Ultimately, the film rides on Frost, who carries it with charm, grace and plenty of heart.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten

It ends up feeling a little like warmed-over Strictly Ballroom without Baz Lurhmann's over-the-top sense of style.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
