Negative Positive
Title: Heart-warming
Review: This movie is in the tradition of The Full Monty, Calendar Girls, Billy Elliot- and it's worthy of the same acclaim all of those received.Set in a Japanese coal-mining town, Hula Girls recounts the story of several women who try to find a life outside the mining industry by becoming professional hula dancers.The story itself is the same coming-of-age, underdog-beating-the-odds plot that has been recounted time and again in movies. Even so, I think it's a really good one to watch on a dreary day when you're feeling self-pitying and have a huge tub of popcorn in front of you. It has a lot of humor, a lot of heart, and a lot of well-choreographed hula dancing.While I don't think I would purchase this DVD (as I don't know how many times I'd actually watch the movie), I think it's a great one to rent, and it comes loaded with a lot of extra information about hula dancing and the true story that inspired the movie.
