Verdict on Ask Me to Dance
Ask Me to Dance is a romantic comedy following two people looking for love in a busy world. It sees them going on a string of bad dates as they look to find love, leading up to a wedding they are both attending.
For a romantic comedy, this does everything you expect it to. There is plenty of time to watch the dates go wrong, giving the movie the laughs, it needs. Some of the laughs are situational, while others focus on the awkward situation the characters are put in. You can see where this movie is going from the first moment and relies on the idea both characters want to find someone who can dance.
Briana Evigan and Tom Malloy are both great in the leading roles. They show frustration but openness to meet new people in their characters. While the supporting cast gets much-needed laughs with the situations they find themselves in.
