The Forbidden Dance

There may be spoilers. Nisa and her tribe in the Brazillian rainforest is being forced off their lands by an American petrol company. So, she heads to America to fight the company. She meets a rich guy, Jason, and they enter a dance contest to bring attention to her plight. This predictable movie has great dancing. Jason makes the movie. The rainforest parts seem a bit fake. Much of the movie seems to have a "Dirty Dancing" like theme or imitation to it. Overall, if you want to see great dancing and aren't too picky about the acting, it's worth seeing or buying for under five bucks.

This movie is bad. Painfully bad. Kinda like being struck in the head with a ball-peen hammer. Repeatedly. But worse. Acting - Cardboard. Plot - written on a napkin during someones lunchbreak. I think the movie was directed by a ouija board or magic 8 ball ('plot unclear, try again later') I'm allowed up to 1,000 words to insult this movie but it doesn't rate that level of effort. In short - THIS IS THE MUST SEE ACTION ADVENTURE OF THE NINETIES!!! NO HOME SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE!!! OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY!! VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN!!!

This is a ridiculous film! Not only is there no good dancing , as the title suggests, and moronic dialog, but the writers obviously did not research Brazilian culture whatsoever before making this crappy movie. I'm Brazilian, born and raised, and believe me on this one, there are NO princesses there. Not even anything close! It makes me angry that this movie portrays my country and culture so wrong. Asides from that, the movie makes me laugh because everything is so exaggerated and corny!

Okay, granted that I saw this movie several years ago and I was much younger, but I remember it as being totally hilarious. No, it wasn't a film with much depth, the concept was really stupid, and it surely wasn't going to win any Oscars. But it was super funny, because it was just that ridiculous. Still to this day I can hum the theme song to the movie,(sad, I know)but it's an awesome memory.I recommend this movie to anyone that wants to laugh their but off for no reason. The Forbidden Dance is a movie that I hope to own, so I can look at it countless times and remember the sheer genius that went into making this great film:)
