okay . a you can see this be one of my favorite if not favorite film . this be a character drama which be absolutely hilarious . the main character be a business man who be stick in a same thing and different day mentality . he see a woman look melancholy out a window of a dance studio from his train everyday and wonder about her and decide to find out more about her . he decide to join the dance class only to find out she be not the instructor . from there he bond with four other dancer and learns to enjoy dance as well a find out about the mysterious woman . there be no gratuitous ( or any ) sex involve and just how a small group of people learn how friendship be form and develop . this film be remake with richard gere and jennifer lopez and the new one while appeal be nowhere as enjoyable a the original . the movie never make it big in america because it be not eligible for the oscar since it be broadcast on television in japan ( movie can not be release on tv or they be disqualify for oscar nomination ) . it do win numerous award in japan for best film and cast and director etc for their oscar award .
