Christmas Musical Movie Review: ***Come Dance With Me (2012)

This is an enjoyable movie with a plot very similar to "You've Got Mail."  We have and executive in money management who has been working on a project for some time, and it finally goes through with a big bonus, while at the same time he starts taking dance lessons to impress the boss' daughter he has been dating, with the hopes of proposing to her at a Christmas Ball.  He starts to fall for his dance instructor, who offers true love, against financial wealth.  Turns out the project he has gotten to go through is going to result in the demolition of the dance instructor's studio.  She comes to him for advise, and rather than confess to his role in the project he decides to help her, and in fact disguises his voice when she calls to confront those involved in the project.  In the midst of all this, his mother shows up where he lives in New York.  Her husband, his father, passed away this year and she decides not to spend Christmas alone.  She helps him see things in a different light.
This movie is very enjoyable.  The dance is lovely and the lines made by the couple as beautiful.  He doesn't get the opportunity to dance with the boss' daughter, but does get wine in his face, twice.
This movie stars Andrew McCarthy as Jack, the business executive, and Michelle Nolden as the dance instructor.  Stephanie Mills is the boss' daughter.
