I'd say Love 'n Dancing felt like an after-school special about overcoming disabilities and being the best you can be, but I fear I'd be doing a disservice to after school specials.

From the acting, to the music, to most importantly, the dancing everything feels amateur in this film.

It is unfortunate when someone with a history of staging musical numbers and directing musical sequences can't make dialogue scenes flow.

Seems more like a dance studio's infomercial than a romantic comedy.

Everyone moves beautifully, yet director Robert Iscove keeps such a coolly professional distance from the dancers that we never feel their heat.
