I think the moment that finally sealed the deal for me with regard to Take the Lead, Antonio Banderas's new movie about inner city kids entering a dance contest (you read thar right), happened about twenty seconds into the trailer showing in the sidebar of Kristin's column at E-Online. Mr. Banderas had been shown in several incarnations (dance fiend with disheveled hair, suited-up straight man) already in the trailer when he suddenly appeared wearing a baseball cap sideways, slapping fives with a row of kids. It's a moment that I'm almost positive is deliberately comedic, but it's still awesome, and my need to see this movie (which was already pretty intense) has increased several-fold.

Let me see if I can find a movie description...okay, the sad thing is that the movie title is already in my imdb search window, which means I've looked it up before. Here we are! First of all, I'll give you the tagline, which is also awesome: Never follow.

A former professional dancer (Banderas) volunteers to teach dance in the New York public school system. While his background first clashes with his students' tastes, together they create a completely new style of dance. Based on the story of ballroom dancer Pierre Dulane.

I think Mad Hot Ballroom focused on this guy, and I know that was supposed to be a fantastic movie - it came out over the summer, when I was too busy to do anything fun, so I didn't see it. I can't gauge whether this movie will be legitimately good or cheesy good or some delicious combination of both.

Either way: I CAN'T WAIT!
