Lambada has its heart in the 1950s and the rest of its anatomy in the 1980s. It's a Jerry Bruckheimer production, like Flashdance, in all but name. Kevin, a.k.a. "Blade" (J. Eddie Peck), is a math teacher by day, dancer/G.E.D. instructor by night. Sandy (Melora Hardin) is the kind of student Sting warned about in "Don't Stand So Close to Me." There's his dangly earring and her hair gel. There's her lunkhead boyfriend, who looks like Top Secret!-era Val Kilmer, and Blade's lambada nemesis, Ramon. And, oh yeah, Blade is Latino. Sound familiar? It is. Lambada is cheesy as all get out and doesn't have an original idea in its body. It's also a sure-to-be-guilty pleasure for fans of Footloose and other 1980s flicks with big beats and misunderstood heroes. It isn't as good, but it's still a hoot. And there's lots of steamy Lambada dancing in the nightclub scenes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 I can dance January 7, 2007
The Movie L is looking for is The Forbidden Dance......... I enjoyed, both those movies as well as Salsa. This movie is a little cheesey but when you are ten and watching it, who cares!!!!

I was looking for a "Lambada", a bright Brazilian movie,
with the catching Brazilian flavor and dancing.
Instead... they sell a castrated American "adaptation"
even without a famous theme song!
Friends,
Don't buy it. Waste of time.

I was never a professional dancer, but always loved to dance. I guess that's at least one reason why I love to watch dancers perform almost any type of dance. That's certainly why I tend to buy so many moves sight unseen if they even suggest that I'll see lots of dancing.
What can I say? I was expecting a lot from Lambada, but the movie let me down in a big way. In my humble opinion, the movie is more about smut that strut with not nearly enough dancing. The movie was extremely boring with a very weak plot. I can usually take that if the dancing is strong and the music is grand. This movie lacked both. Truly disappointing.

Hi! If you're into all sorts of dance and music videos, then you'll definately want to buy or rent this movie. I love the Lambada dance and the ethnic background it has so I LOVE the movie. The other Lambada movie is my favorite though. It has to do with a Brazilian girl making money dancing the Lambada in a club. GO WATCH the movie. it's a definate watch!!!! You wont regret.
