Review of Rumba

Rumba (2008)
5/10
First half: great; second half: disappointing
3 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Here we have the story of a heartwarming unconventional couple with the great plan in head to dance the Rumba. But the plan will be complicated after a car crash. Wow! What will sound like a boring drama is in fact a really absurd, charming and wild comedy which looks like Jaques Tati and Leon Schuster did a film together. Strange, strange, strange - and very likable, wild and surreal. But only the first half. The second half looks like somebody (the producers?) said: hey, folks, 40 minutes are not enough - let's stretch the stuff to feature length. And here the problems starts. Serious problems. Because the movie left the charming couple situation and goes to - at least to nowhere. This is a shame. Don't go to cinema, wait for the DVD-Release, watch the first half, have some great and charming entertainment - and spare the second half. Sometimes people should did short films and not more!
