Beneath Bruce Garrett's (Nick Frost) shabby, overweight exterior, the passionate beating heart of a salsa king lays dormant. Only one woman, his smart, funny and gorgeous new boss Julia (Rashida Jones), can reignite his Latin fire. But she's way out of his league, and with expert lothario and alpha-male office nemesis Drew (Chris O'Dowd) in rampant pursuit, can Bruce's loyal sister (Olivia Colman), childhood dance mentor (Ian McShane), and crazy new amateur salsa pal (Kayvan Novak) help him unshackle his dancing beast, regain his long lost fury and claim the love of his life?

The main reason I wanted to check this out was Nick Frost and Simon Pegg—I’ve loved them together since Shaun of the Dead. What I didn’t realize was that Pegg only shows up for a half-second cameo, and the rest of the movie is painfully average. ()
I like dance movies. The rhythm does something to me. Plus, I like Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd, although I prefer them in more positive roles. Rashida is a babe, and when you add a bit of humor - unfortunately not enough - it turns into a pretty decent comedy, where you'll be amazed mainly by Nick Frost's dancing. That guy is just awesome. Moreover, I was pleased by one well-executed cameo. ()
