Cuban Fury (2014)

This film is so predictable, you could close your eyes and still know where it’s going to go. Nick Frost was formerly a teen salsa dancer who hung up his dancing shoes after being bullied. Enter sexy new boss Rashida Jones who just happens to love salsa, so no surprise, Nick is soon searching out Ian McShane, his former dance instructor. Chris O’Dowd adds conflict as an unfunny, obnoxious, misogynistic co-worker who also has his eyes on Jones. You don’t even need a beginners’ dance class to dance along to the plot. I do wish when movies show a Big Competition finale that they wouldn’t push the audience into trying to believe that the actors are at the same skill level as the all decked-out professional competitors. Just make it a group with equal skill, we’ll still cheer along, I swear.
