Keep on Dancing (1988)

mfw no dancing

More of a free-wheeling and heart-warming romantic drama than a full-on comedy, Carry On Dancing is a fairly dull affair, but it's an affair that at least has something to say. Offering insights into how an individual relates to the larger environment, with the thin line between the sane and the insane blurring. There are some nice scenes and mildly amusing moments, thanks to the adequate direction, sappy music and performances from the cast, but it never becomes genuinely funny at any point. It's a real slog to get through and could have really benefited from some Yuen Woo-Ping dance choreography, hell, even any form of dancing at all. Despite Carry On Dancing's best intentions as a madcap romantic farce, the frequent dislocations and excessive number of unnecessarily one-note characters only slow things down.
