Good DVDMay 09, 2010
The condition of the dvd was great, but the shipment timing was poor. It took several weeks to arrive, right up to the day I was suppose to leave town. Other than that, everything was good. I would order from this seller again, but I will make sure I am not leaving town for at least the next 4 weeks.
 Great DVDApr 29, 2010
DVD arrived on time and in perfect condition. We've enjoyed the movie. Will make additional purchases from Amazon.com.

 To Senor With Love...Feb 13, 2010
You really can't go wrong with a dance movie. Even a bad one will make you feel good. And Take the Lead makes you feel good in spite of its numerous flaws.
The film was inspired by the real life story of Pierre Dulaine, a man who introduced a ballroom dancing program to inner city schools with the idea of teaching "at risk" students discipline, cooperation, and self-respect. It's a nice idea...but why did he do it? This movie really does not give you a clue. As a consequence, the whole process of convincing the students (and Alfre Woodard) that ballroom dancing was the key to bettering the lives of inner city kids was long, tedious and not quite believable. (You have to be pretty dedicated to attempt reaching any kind of teen, let alone teens that deal drugs, have prostitutes for mothers and shoot one another on weekends.) As with all movies "inspired" by real events, cliches, irrelevant side plots, and set-ups abounded. By the time "Monster" (his name says it all) shows up in a tux at an uptown, all-white cotillion, you may be ready to chuck this film.
But you won't for the following reason: Antonio Banderas is the sexiest man alive. (Forget George Clooney.) After you have seen him dance the tango, you will never be the same. (When it comes to Banderas, "sizzling" is not a metaphor.) If the director had spent another hour or so featuring Banderas and the professional dancers in his studio, not only would it have been a five-star film (hang the plot!), it would have needed a different rating. (PG-35?)
I think I'm going to watch that tango scene again...

Take the LeadDec 30, 2009
These dance numbers will make you want to take up the fox-trot. Banderas has all the smooth moves. It is refreshing to see a movie that highlights successes that young people have made. It is a must see for parents and teens.
