Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm School (2005)

A deathbed promise has lonely baker Robert Carlyle attending a dance class run by Mary Steenburgen to search for John Goodman’s childhood sweetheart. A very uneven bit of filmmaking that is only sold on its performances, it seems that the story is made of a half dozen ideas cobbled together incongruously. The one clever piece that it has going for it is working in director Randall Miller’s much earlier short film which allows Elden Henson to portray two characters at vastly different ages.
