I am a bit of a softie when it comes to those movies about diverse groups of people who come together to learn something new like tap dancing (“Stepping Out” with Liza Minnelli) or ballroom dancing (“Shall We Dance” with Richard Gere) or Italian (“Italian for Beginners”). We get to see glimpses of lots of different characters and stories and we get to see the way that they engage with new challenges and are transformed by their sense of accomplishment, new skills, and relationships.
I really enjoyed a quiet little movie in this genre called The Big Bad Swim

One of the things I really like is that you review films that no one else does, including some like this bargain movie. I’d have never given it a second look. Thanks!

Thanks, Jestrfyl. I have more “After the Kids are in Bed” suggestions coming soon! I love to help neglected gems find an audience.
