Surpasses formulaic story
This is a feel-good movie. You will enjoy it, laugh, maybe even cry, despite being able to predict what is going to happen. Banderas does a nice, understated job and the actors portraying the urban kids are outstanding. I didn’t like some of the camera angles and chafed at the dance shots often being too close up to really see what the moves were, but the choices in filming undeniably added to both the realism and the energy of the scenes.

Altho based on a true story, one has to wonder how much was added for dramatic effect. Some of the relationships/developments seem just too trite and stereotyped — and yet the portrayals are enjoyable enough that ultimately you don’t care. After the number of times audience members laughed or exclaimed over scenes or lines in the movie, I was surprised that they didn’t clap at the end — it’s that kind of movie. It reminded me of both Strictly Ballroom and Stand and Deliver. You won’t be sorry you’ve seen it.

I got rhythm,I got music,I got my girl,who could ask for anything more?
Lena Horne’s recording of “I got Rhythm”soars above the title sequence of “Take the lead”,leaving us on no doubt that the movie is indeed about rhythm – the rhythm of the dance,the rhythm of the streets,the rhythm of the basketball courts,the New York apartments and projects……the rhythm,if you like,of life. This feeling of energy and vitality is echoed in the pacing and cutting of the movie itself,sometimes frantic,sometimes languorous,but always infused with energy,restrained or unrestrained. Mr A.Banderas’s slightly rueful charm is just right for the role of Paul Dulaine who – against all odds – brought Ballroom Dancing into the New York Public Schools System.He carries himself with the grace and precision of a young Burt Lancaster and never,metaphorically or literally,puts a foot wrong.It is a brilliantly controlled performance made all the more admirable for its apparent lack of artifice. There is,as you might expect,some wonderful music and dancing,superbly choreographed. Just one small scene where one of Dulaine’s pupils dances alone to Sly and the Family Stone’s remarkable version of “Que Sera,Sera” is worth the price of rental alone. There is nothing remotely original or cutting edge about “Take the lead” but it is a feast for the eyes and ears with a wonderful star performance. And as Ira Gershwin once said….”who could ask for anything more?”
