    Both dancing it and watching it, but this movie didn't show enough to be considered good by that standard. It was a self-indulgent homage to his new main squeeze. I felt like I was intruding on their “cute” scene together. I expected better. More dancing scenes would have made the rest of this stuff more palatable

    it's really horrible. Very slow, I had to fast forward through most of it. What a wasted afternoon, should've watched Shrek instead!

    Total waste of time, bad acting, bad story line, and even bad directing for Duvall.
