28 songs in the Soundtracks. NOT a Musical.

Sweet film. Not to be watched for the dancing, which is amateurs filmed up close to disguise complete lack of talent/skill. Tender and emotionally satisfying, but I would have cut the last few minutes as unnecessary content.

Rated 6.6 (2,560)

Update: 23Mar2022. Watched before checking IMDb. Had no memory of it. Agree that it's neither music/al. Agree that it's a 6, although I'd say lower than 6.6.. Amazing the rating is still 6.6 (3,223).
