first and there be no way the remake can be as good and because japanese society be quite different from ours and play such a major part in this film and a explain in the opening narration . it add to the humor as well a warmth of this movie . there be slew of different support character or personality . each do there part in make this movie wonderful . this movie be full of comedy that isn not vulgar in anyway like most of today gross out comedy . yet it can still have you laugh out loud . the reality be and in real life and you do not have a choice of who you work with or go to school with . etc . this movie truly emphasize that and show that the natural good in people can overcome petty difference . not to mention and it make for a great sub plot and much of the humor . this be a story about dance that actually have a story and and a good one at that . there be a few back story that be not out of place and but actually support the main storyline . truly a well write film . the dancing be great and too . i happen to be a fan of any movie with dancing of any sort and for that aspect . however and this movie go beyond any other with dance and in the fact that and it be a story first and just happens to be write about dance in japanse society . highly recommended . positive .
