| Not celluloid history, but fun none the less (by doodnaught) |
| What immediately caught my attention was the setting. Not a glorified, beautiful city, but a real, human reflection of Belfast. In terms of the movie, I found the lead male fostered a positive cathartic relationship with the audience, without the stereotypical poor boy/rich girl sympathies. I found, despite my two left feet, the mix of football and samba to be perfect. Although I was drawn aback when actress Keri Russell took the screen, she delivered a thoroughly enjoyable performance. Don't expect cinematic genius, just enjoy the film and its down to earth story. |
| Mad, Fun & Happy. (by CrazeeBabee01) |
| Mad About Mambo may have a cliche plot but it its a good one! Its rolled romance, comedy, finding your path and two sports into a great film!William Ash played his football obsessed, girl chasing character charmingly and left quite a good impression. His film friends were also quite funny. Keri Russell seen on Felicity, played her out to prove worthy character well also. Showing she does have quite an ability - of acting & dancing! Go Keri!Other notable efforts where of Keri Russell's film father, her boyfriend's mother, William Ash's principle, coach, mother and their dance <more> |
| a feel good movie (by swingheil77) |
| I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! It might be a boy meet girl story, but this movie is a cute, upbeat film. William Ash is great in this movie & I cannot wait to see him in something else. Keri Russell's accent did throw me off quite a bit, but all in all a cute family film. |
| Feel Good, Humourous film. (by roisin_123) |
| All in all i believe this film to be an uplifting family movie, that of which is hard to find with the setting and background. Usually films set in Belfast solely surround 'The Troubles' and political tensions. Although Mad About Mambo used these themes it didn't pointedly centre on them.The accents were a little sketchy for the two main characters, but i can understand this, seeing as William Ash grew up in Manchester and Keri Russel is American. Belfast accents are strong but the characters carried them well, and they were easy to understand which is sometimes a problem.The <more> |
| Great surprise! (by Arthur-23) |
| I don't know why this film didn't get wide release in 2000 when it first made the rounds in theaters, but now that it's available on video you shouldn't miss the opportunity to rent it. This was a nice, pleasant, entertaining film. Nothing "great" or Oscar worthy, but who cares? The story flowed, the sound track was great, and the comedic elements hit their marks. Although Keri Russell's Irish accent may not have achieved the subtle nuances of an Irish native, she did a fine job! And William Ash the soccer 'Mambo king' and Brian Cox as Keri's <more> |
| Really and Truly for Russell fans (by A_Different_Drummer) |
| Just revisited this film some 16 years after release. The ongoing success of The Americans made me curious as to how it would hold up: 1. If you want better dance and music, pick Flashdance.2. If you want a better story, pick Dirty Dancing.3. At the end of the day, the "hidden ground" in these sorts of Romcoms is that the female audience should ideally end up in love with the male lead, and vice versa. On this basis, the movie works. Russell never looked better. While her accent proves elusive in several scenes, her natural grace and movement is mesmerizing.4. While possibly not <more> |
