Claudio Carvalho In Houston, the aspirant to photographer Amie (Annabeth Gish) receives a complete Salsa and Mambo dancing course from her close colleagues and friends as her wedding gift. Her wedding with the wealthy and arrogant Jason (Daniel Cosgrove) is close and she intends to dance Salsa in the feast. Amie meets the Porto Rican instructor Nicholas (Kamar de los Reyes), and she feels a great attraction for him. When Nicholas bet with his former mate Cristina (Tessie Santiago) that he would teach Amie to be a great dancer, they daily train together for long periods and they fall for each other. Amie breaks with Jason, but is not sure about with whom she really wants to stay.What a delightful movie this "The Way She Moves" is. The story is very predictable, follows the success of other romantic comedies having the dance as the theme, but I liked this one a lot. The pair Annabeth Gish and Kamar de los Reyes shows a great chemistry; the Latin music score and the choreography are excellent; the conclusion of the romance is very funny; and the sexy Tessie Santiago is delicious, really a collyrium for the eyes. I found this movie surprisingly cute and pleasant and I really intend to see it again in the next future. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Ritmo da Sedução" ("Rhythm of the Seduction")

sweetrupturedlight this one surprised me. i chose it at the video store, just because. i'd never heard about it, nor the actors, except for Daniel Cosgrove, thanks to life in Pine Valley (AMC) so, i had no bias.after the first watch, i thought it was ok, but the second time round i enoyed it much more. The leads were well cast, esp Kamar, who plays Nick. He is sexy, a good actor to boot, and he was made to move to music. i could have spent the entire movie just watching him dance. Annabeth Gish was good also, although i thought that she lacked a little in the rhythem department. i will say though, that after the wonderful, natural moves of Kamar and Tesse Santiago, Amy was more than passable.there were of course little things that irritated me. the fact that she chose to re-commit to her loser fiance, and then practically go through with the wedding! hello! also, her mothers attitude about Nick's heritage as well as her friends anti-nick advice, then the sudden turnabout from both parties in the end, including Tesse's character.despite that, this movie is a treat for anyone who loves the sultry music, the wonderful beats, the dancing and the eye candy in the form of Kamar. i loved it.10!

brenda_senanayake This Sunday afternoon fare was very good indeed. The music, dancing, and representation of Hispanics in a positive light and not as the usual gang member, drug dealing, etc. was refreshing. It reminded one of the need for courage to be yourself and to follow your own dream not that of someone else. As to the actors, Kamar De los Reyes is quite the talent. His sensitivity and display of frustration not to mention his DANCING! What can I say but that his solo at the festival was incredibly beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone of my friends and will do so. Hope to see more of Senor Reyes in a leading role. Bring on the music!

escaped For anyone who likes dance movies such as DIRTY DANCING, STRICTLY BALLROOM, and SAVE THE LAST DANCE this one is a worthy addition to that genre. Like those films, this one shares the standard plot of romantic leads from different backgrounds overcoming obstacles with comic relief from their sidekicks and lots of enjoyable music and dancing. Once again we have the awkward heroine who faces antagonism but blossoms while taking dance lessons from a hunky homeboy. Kamar De Los Reyes and Annabeth Gish were very appealing as sensitive soulmates. I have two complaints though- it was unbelievable to me that she would even consider marrying the numbskull fiance after connecting with Nick and it didn't make sense that her friends and mother would object to Nick simply because he was Hispanic- when he was a cultured college educated school teacher and even Catholic like she was. Movie writers seem to keep wanting to perpetuate cultural biases by presenting conflicts intended to show that there is something shocking about people of different ethnic backgrounds having relationships when in the real world it has become quite commonplace and accepted-at least in MY world.
