Jamaican Cult Classic
I think the movie showed a side of Jamaica that often goes unnoticed in the tourism adds. I really liked Marcia, there was something real about her character. I also enjoyed the daughter, Tanya. She had spunk, and was a little more understandable.Paul Campbel is excellent in his role as Priest. The dialect was fun for me.. and if you watched the film on DVD you could use the subtitles as Jamaican Patios 101 (smile). The story is real however. I find that majority of the Jamaicans i meet who are working class or from a less affluent side of town love the film…The same doesn’t always hold true from others though. Well if you want to be entertained…i think this is a very very entertaining movie and it showcases the darker side of Jamaica…while taking you into the “real dancehall”.A definite must see

Great!
I watched Dance Hall Queen back when i was a little girl living in Florida, and it gets a lot easier to understand the accents the more you watch it. I recently watched it again and the message to women to be strong and sexy and standing your ground was still there even more now that I’m a 24 year old mother. If you love foreign, Indy type Genres, then you will love the quirkiness of the characters, and settings and hate the stone hearts of the villains.I found myself each time cheering for the Main character, and I love her transformation from hobo looking street vendor, to sexy, dazzling beauty. I also liked seeing a women who had her own even if it was just a little to some, and got more herself.
