Samba, not Mambo
23 August 2006
Mad About Mambo... an interesting, light rom-com about a boy from the wrong side of the tracks falling for the rich girl. It was all right in its own way, but....

... at no time did anyone ever do the mambo! They did lots of Samba and some Rumba, but never was Mambo in it. Strange titling for this movie. I guess Sick For Samba would not have grabbed as well.

The film seems to be a neat look into the lives of Belfast residents, but it's not a serious dance movie.

For some serious dancing, you'd do a lot better with Dance With Me, or Shall We Dance.
