i always look forward to this movie when it on tv . have to get the dvd i guess . the range of different type of people be great . it say to me that anyone can be a dancer if they try hard enough . my favorite character must be mr. aoki . he be so quirky but so full of emotion . it be a perfect movie with wonderful dancing . unfortunately we never get the chance to see them go to blackpool . would make for the perfect sequel if they have . but i guess it leave it to your imagination to what could of happen . a very simple and innocent story . he stay loyal to his wife and daughter . i haven not see the hollywood remake . not sure if i want to . i do not really enjoy jennifer lopez . i think richard gere more match the original than lopez . i have a feeling that the remake be not as simple and innocent .
