Really enjoyed this. I've done a lot of dancing long ago, and could really relate to the urge to express yourself with your body, found it fun and exciting to watch! And unlike most 'fat' films, I wasn't repulsed by the overwhelming awkwardness and basic social stupidity/lameness that these characters usually demonstrate. Instead you're first shown the ebullient spirit of his teen self, and can understand how shut down he became after being horribly bullied. And then you're shown the shy/meek guy who is thoughtful and sensitive, a good friend, as well as smart and accomplished within his field.
I particularly liked Ian Shains character cajoling and then demanding he show his passion. It was only in the dramatic that he emerged from the trap of his low self-esteem and hiding.
I also appreciated how they had a continuous acceleration of his dance capabilities that came in waves, each more powerful than the last, and within the span of an hour or so I could see how this big guy could be such a dance phenom. Masterfully done.
Of course, it beggared belief that this stunning and young woman boss would be so open with her new work colleagues, esp the guys, and that she would let herself be so inviting with him. What a stunning beauty and smile! Fantasy land.
Though I do tell myself, however humble my appearance may be, that it's my ability to dance, enjoy myself, laugh, be a good listener, that I too will find my sweetheart.
