stegor Regardless of tragedies happening globally our personal lives will always take precedence.Disasters happen. Mayhem abounds. But stubbing your toe will supercede all. T'is part of the human condition.In Razzle Dazzle, an excellent comedy, dance dominates the characters lives.Their raison d'etre, their whole rationale, superficially presented as terpsichorean.In truth, of course, there's far more involved - Egos, ambitions, needs and wants.The setting's no more than a convenient device. We all take ourselves too seriously.The deadpan delivery of patent absurdities. The self deception and lack of awareness. All these conspire to raise a chuckle along with a certain empathic engagement. You'll quickly forget it's a mocumentary. Mr. Jonathon's real - He's out there somewhere.Names may change. Locations differ. A mirror might well prove useful.

adx7 How in the world did this film ever get made? There wasn't a single good point about the whole film. I wouldn't have even given this "film" 1 out of 10 if there was a lower mark. Utterley pointless. Now don't get me wrong, I love films of all types and can usually see the good in things but this was 100% BAD! Totally unfunny (apart from one brief moment involving some vomit). This was like a poor man's Strictly Ballroom. So clichéd and tiresome.Avoid like the plague!

leadie53 What a great little film....This won't win Oscars or any other film award, but it will make you chuckle at the characters some of whom we all know in real life. What parent hasn't had the (mis)fortune to be part of ballet classes, whether it be classical, modern, tap or contemporary. Every week the little darlings don their leotards and ballet shoes and go along and join their other little friends and teacher Miss Denise (an ageing, usually overweight woman who shouldn't really wear a body hugging anything, but does. Every week she puts the kiddies through their steps, until the dreaded "End of year Dance Extravaganza" arrives. Parents fork out a lot of money to put their kids through dance class, then more money on costumes, buying the DVD, buying the music etc...all for 3 minutes on stage. This movie looks at it all, with hilarious consequences. Starring some of the best performers in Australian theatre, TV, cabaret and movies. A must see....it's awesome!!!!!

sara-kay 1 word- FABULOUS. not your average movie at all! Razzle Dazzle is an Australian based movie but a fake documentary. It is so full of unexpected jokes and wise cracks. i found it wonderful.Only 1 thing some people i complained about was the fuzziness in the beginning. I think it was just a bit of an affect and made no damage to the movie. Ben Miller is great in this movie but it was Kerry Armstrongs act as a pushy stage mother that had me in tears. She is just so into her character in the movie. She tries to make her daughter seem the best in front of others and tells her off for each little mistake. What i found most funny was the fact she took her daughter in for a nose job (which of course didn't happen) and complained how she might end up with her fathers nose. Though the concept of the movie is based on what happens in the homes and studios of the children, the main focus is the competition. They compete in a style of dance telling a story.I recommend this movie for people whom enjoy dancing and comedies.
