The Forbidden Dance

Rob

A Brazilian princess saves her land and peoples through her powers of Lambada

Dancing, not naked

Remember the Lambada craze and the impact it had on all of our lives? No?! Well, that's not so hard to believe considering how no one really gave a rat's patootie about the dance, or the song, or Brazil, or anything else at the time. I think everyone was a little too busy getting over the "Walk like an Egyptian" dance and getting prepped for the big "Achy Breaky" craze. In those hectic days, who really had time to pay attention to a dance that qualifies as a marriage proposal in several countries. This movie tried to ride the wave that the song and dance brought to the American pop scene. Yeah, right. It's pretty clear from the start that the people who made this movie were just trying to cash in quickly before the craze was over. Thus, the film had to made in about 7.3 seconds. Clearly, it took at least a few more minutes than that. Oh, and it shows, too. The movie is very laughably bad with its message about the destruction of the rainforest and the displacement of the native population of the region. Yep, they're saving the rainforest through freak dancing. Get freaky with the ecologically aware! There's not much else to say about the movie. If you watch it and find yourself caring about the plot, there's obviously something wrong with you, not that you can't still be an active member of society. We need worker drones, after all, in our new regime. Someday we will rule you pathetic--- but perhaps I've said too much. We shall bide our time, gentle readers. We only mean good. Forget everything you've just read. Oh, and avoid this movie, too, unless you've got a really big Dirty Dancing fetish and really need some time away from the foxtrot and Juicy Lucy.

  • Not much except all the "You're not dating the cleaning girl" bit… oh, and all the steamy dancing you'll be rushing to the disco to try it yourselves
