    Mad About Mambo's steps may be as familiar as the hokeypokey, but there's just enough gusto in the execution to make it a guilty pleasure.

    This genial little picture, which has been kicking around for more than a year, doesn't have a mean bone in its body.
  3. Splashy and sweetly romantic, if hopelessly unimaginative.
  4. Reviewed by: John Hartl
    (Ash and Russell) generate just enough tension to keep the audience interested.
  5. Reviewed by: Robert Horton
    Everything about the movie is fine and dandy and dull.
  6. Reviewed by: Robert Koehler
    Lacking the kind of fire and energy that the best youth movies demand, leads Ash and Russell display skills better tuned to the small screen.
