Lambada (1990)

Lambada (1990). Lambada: Directed by Joel Silberg. With J. Eddie Peck, Melora Hardin, Adolfo Quinones, Leticia Vasquez. Kevin Laird is a Beverly Hills school teacher by day and a mystery man by night. Using his lambada dance moves to first earn the kid's respect and acceptance, Kevin then teaches them academics. But when a jealous student exposes Kevin's double life, his two worlds collide, threatening his job and reputation.

“Donu0026#39;t let the credits mislead you, Jennifer Lopez only has a small supporting role (a dozen lines at best), and the u0026quot;no-nameu0026quot; stars give performances which justify their subsequent demise on the Hollywood movie scene. Bad acting, unbelievably implausible plot lines, and second rate dialogue are only accentuated by cookie cutter characterizations. If Iu0026#39;m ever stuck in a bad-ass L.A. Latino neighbourhood, I hope Iu0026#39;m lucky enough to run into this movieu0026#39;s gang members; at worst my car would get a new paint job. The predictable happy ending is capped off by yet another forgettable dance sequence, making one yearn for the comparably energetic, stylish excellence of u0026quot;Footlooseu0026quot; or u0026quot;Dirty Dancingu0026quot;. If you choose to spend a few hours watching this drivel, be sure to do some housework as well so itu0026#39;s not a complete waste of your time.”
