I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is a performances centric movie

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

On the eve of retirement a middle class, judgmental snob discovers her husband has been having an affair with her best friend and is forced into exile with her bohemian sister who lives on an impoverished inner-city council estate. Finding Your Feet has a quite talented cast and a few Harry Potter actors for quite of the reunion but this drama/comedy/romance film is missing the point in the end. The whole story arc with the dance was quite the dull, the perfomances were fine for the most part but nothing crazy to be about and the overall dramatic aspect of it kind of forgettable and the same goes for the romantic parts. Overall a decent attempt but not as decent as it could. (3/10)

Cynics beware, you will not like this film! For everyone else, this is a highly entertaining couple of hours watching accomplished British actors portray characters of a certain age struggle with lost loves, challenging conditions, and betrayal. These charismatic actors, that seem familiar to us because we've seen them in "Harry Potter" movies or BBC mysteries, engaged me in a heartbeat. They are natural and present themselves with the badges of aging without apology. The scripting was too broad and cliche in the beginning scenes, but I stopped thinking about that as the story unfolded and touching scenes won me over. And there is something about watching people dance themselves out of misery that is so beautiful, it renews my spirit!

Real gem- of course I'm in the age group that would most enjoy this movie but I enjoy any movie that has terrific actors playing characters that anyone can identify with well directed with a good script and this film is one of those that anyone would get a smile, a laugh a tear at times in other words it's about real people in real life situations. Imelda Staunton and Celia Imrie are a dream team as sisters and there is a terrific supporting cast including Timothy Spall and Joanna Lumley, who still manages to look glamorous with silver hair and mufti wear. All the characters in this movie have through their individual life experiences been through the highs and lows of life and are still in the game and scoring goals . I love the fact that movies like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Quartet , The Hundred Foot Journey, The Lady in the Van, Calendar Girls, Ladies in Lavender are still being made and have an audience that appreciates them in this age when youth and escape from the everyday realities of life to other realms and planets seem to command more critical acclaim and box office dollars. My favourite line was Joanna Lumley's character Jackie's explanation of her 3rd marriage break up "We broke up for religious differences, he though he was God." Well worth a look..........

What an absolutely WONDERFUL film, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Great humour, sadness but a real feel-good film, go and see it, you won't be sorry!! I absolutely loved it, and applauded at the end!
