      Veronica L This is such a fantastic holiday movie. I cannot believe in 10 whole years, no one has bothered to write a review here, so allow me... Andrew McCarthy - Jack - maintains a lot of his 80s charm in this movie, which centers around his life in real estate/business contracting. The specifics are a little fuzzy, but it seems like he is charged with executing contracts that relate to commercial real estate. His firm's CEO is also the father of Jack's steady gal, played by the camera-genic Stephanie Mills. As expected, Stephanie is a handful; she is over-confident, pushy, and can't wait to get a ring from Jack. Jack has a lot riding on his charm, so he turns to something that he thinks will up his chances of overall success with Stephanie and her dad: dance lessons. The lessons will be just another tick on his running tab of charisma to keep in the good graces of his future family. (But: my one thought was not really knowing why he felt the need to do that; even if he had a promotion pending, it is so clear that the CEO Fam loves him.) The dance lessons: This is the best part. The serene and elegant Michelle Nolden (Christine), evidently a dancer in real life, is his instructor. He comes in with a little bit of a 'teach me dance in one afternoon!' mentality, but she won't accept anything less than deep devotion to her art. He quickly adapts and earns her respect. His mom (Jack's) is very quirky, motherly, and the movie really plays up the Mom stereotypes: she's a little frumpy, very frugal, naggy, pushy, and her son's #1 fan. She vies for him to stay strong in his pursuit of married life with Demi (Stephanie Mills). The conflict is: His employer (Demi's fathers') firm is shutting down the dance studio. Christine's realization of this creates a mental break, practically, and she stops at nothing to uncover a solution. It isn't until much further into the movie that the 'betrayal' of his firm's plans is clear to Christine and she naturally holds it against Jack. She can't get the funds on her own to support a buyout, and worst of all, this studio reminds her of her parents, who built it and are no longer alive. But all is not lost... This is where you get to watch the rest. (As if there is any mystery; after all, this is Hallmark!) Acting: Believable, esp. from the main characters. Character notes: I did not care much for his (Jack's) best buddy from work, who was overacting his role as the empty vessel of a guy he intended to be. Additionally, I thought the older man who plays Christine's dance studio helper/maintenance guy was just too darn friendly. (if he looked more like a teddy-bear grandpa, perhaps it would not have been a big deal, but he seemed more like a Sopranos cast-off) The ages of the main actors were perfect; I can't imagine the pairing having more chemistry, even Stephanie Mills who was so fun to watch. The whole movie was a joy to see; if you love dancing, check out the Samba (rumba?) scene with the guest couple; these were not dance amateurs! Make a sequel, Hallmark!
