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 dance scenes were wonderful and the chemistry displayed between Danny and Lucy made the film sparkle. I'm shocked it got so little publicity and hope in time it becomes wildly popular. Danny's cronies were haliarious and showed great charisma and seemed to be exactly as your typical team of West Belfast boys.
I'd give this movie 8 out of 10 and recommend it to anyone.
