While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The first must-see film of the year.

This is typical Hallmark and fits into their usual formula...the lead's girlfriend/boyfriend is a ditz/evil, the lead finds his soulmate totally innocently, the lead works for an evil empire attempting to take over the soulmate's business/building/town/resort. There is always snow and lots of Christmas lights. If you've seen more than two Hallmark movies, you'll know the ending in the first 10 minutes.There are a couple of redeeming features, one being the nice dance sequences. Michelle Nolden is an exquisite and extremely graceful dancer and the camera follows her beautifully. I don't know if she studied dance or is a really well-coached actress but I did enjoy watching her. McCarthy isn't bad, either.A little variation on the music would have been nice. That same song, repeated umpteen times in the movie, becomes brain lint.

Come Dance With Me is best enjoyed by those who are 21 years and up who are romantic at heart. Romance and music mixed with non-malice betrayal are the themes of this movie. This is the kind of movie to watch on a slow afternoon, preferably a rainy afternoon. You might best enjoy this movie with a glass of wine rather than a bowl of popcorn. The alternate title "Christmas Dance" has little to do with Christmas Magic, rather the magic of music and the heart. The actors/actresses do a decent job in the movie. The movie is easily forgotten by the next day -- yet it is a pleasant movie to watch with someone you love or even a best friend (if you are a woman). Let's face it, it is a chick flick. Guys may not enjoy it much, except with their girlfriend or significant other. A pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Another corny movie from the HM Channel. I love watching a good Christmas movie, but the ones that I usually find on this Channel are a little over the top. I really like Andrew McCarthy, but what were the people who cast his part thinking? They needed an actor at least 15 years younger for this role. The lady that they picked for his mother could have passed for his wife. The story line was nothing new. It was just totally unbelievable. Sorry, this movie didn't do anything to help his career. It just made him look stupid. He was much better in the part that he played in the 2009 "National Tree" Christmas movie.At least that one had a good story and was better suited to his age.

Andrew McCarthy has steadily been an actor whose movies take you into the moment, where you magically lose yourself, and once the credits roll, you're still there. "Come Dance With Me" doesn't grab you immediately, but slowly pulls you in. Although there are a few scenes that just don't mesh, McCarthy pulls it off. His brooding, ruggedly handsome demeanor is seductive, and it undoubtedly crosses the movie to viewer barrier.Casting for this movie was mostly on target, except for the bosses daughter. There's absolutely no chemistry in what seems to be a composite airhead overacted and stereotypical blonde type. As a viewer/audience, you just wish she'd go away, but at the same type it gives you the chance for a few giggles at her expense. Since the movie title does contain "Dancing" you're in for a pleasant surprise. McCarthy pulls off a beautiful waltz, and for me - he can fill my dance card for the entire event. Although I rated this movie an 8, it's certainly not in the same caliber of Rogers and Astaire, but with more than a few wonderful scenes, where the magic of the movies comes alive .... we can blissfully dance the night away.
