Discover the world of competitive dance. Mr Jonathan and his troupe of Jazzketeers are out to open people’s eyes to the injustices of the world, one audience at a time. When they make it into the Grand Final of Australia’s most prestigious dance competition, the pressure is on to come up with a dazzling routine that will also broaden the minds. But the hard work is about to take its toll on Mr Jonathan and his girls.
I was told by my aunt and young cousins to sit down and watch this film so, finally, one day I took their advice. Both my mum and my dad sat down and watched it with me and we all absolutely loved it! It’s fun and clever Aussie comedy! It’s films like this that make me feel patriotism. Damned proud to be an Aussie “aw yeah”!
Mr Jonathan is a man who loves dance and choreography and hates oppression and injustice of any kind. With stars in his eyes, he plans to enlighten the world one audience at a time and who better to do that than his troupe of Jazzketeers. When he and his girls make it into the grand Final of Australia’s most prestigious dance competition, the pressure is on to really dazzle their audience because, when it comes to the theatre, winning is everything.
What immediately hooks you to this film is the way that it is structured. It is filmed as a documentary, filled with interviews with the characters and footage of the performances.
The other brilliant thing about it is the separate stories that make up the film. A dance troupe trying to win a Grand Final can seem like a boring plotline, but as the characters become more determined, some serious drama and sometimes, sinister stories bloom, keeping the audience’s attention.
Not to mention the characters! Some of the characters that dominate the screen in this film go from one extreme to another and some are positively cringe worthy. It’s all absolutely wonderful.
Starring Ben Miller, Kerry Armstrong, Denise Roberts, Tara Morice, Jane Hall, Nadine Garner, Toni Lamond, Noeline Brown, Barry Crocker, and Leo Sayer, Razzle Dazzle is a wonderfully clever and cute comedy about what some people will do to win.
Filled with dance routines, sparkling costumes, good music, memorable characters, and nail-biting anticipation, it’s a fantastic film that will have cheering, cringing, gasping, and looking on in awe. You’ll be bubbling with excitement by the end.
