This films open tomorrow in limited theatrical release and streams on Apple TV+. Apparently it is getting buzz similar to what CODA was getting a year ago.

I saw this today, while I liked it very much, by far the weakest of the 6 or so characters big enough to get a read on, was the main character who was played by the same guy who wrote and directed the movie. I think he should concentrate on film making and stop giving himself starring roles.

What does the title Cha Cha Real Smooth even mean? If you see that on a marquee (or scroll by it on streaming, since this is an Apple release), it wouldn't really give you much of an idea about what the movie is or why you should care.

The main character is in charge of getting people to dance at bar mitsvahs so there is that. Also at some point in the movie they play a song whose title may be cha cha real smooth.

Finally caught up with it. Don't get the love. It's a droopy dramedy with an unlikeable lead (the writer-director himself). Dakota Johnson does her best, but she's playing opposite a drip.
