The dance remains the same...Take the Lead has exactly two things going for it (each worth one star): the always entertaining Antonio Banderas and a lot of ballroom dancing.

Furious entertainment for a moment of 'populist rage.' But it’s hard to escape the feeling that Fast & Furious is more than a little…mechanical.

Hoffman’s actorly sensibility allows the film’s best moments, expressed in gestures and non-verbal signifiers...

Builds to the fulfillment of the 'MonsterVerse' promise (further teased in a post-credits scene) of monster-on-monster action...It's all very silly...and also a kind of bruising primordial thrill ride.
