This sweet and very campy Australian film centers around a ballroom dancing competition and what could be an unlikely pair, if you've never before seen a movie. Scott is a rising star who has upset the powers that be by dancing his own steps, and Fran, his potential partner, is a beginning dancer who doesn't have the looks of a champion. Yes, it's a pretty predictable story, but it's also a fun and feel-good diversion. Strictly Ballroom was the first film directed by Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, Australia and The Great Gatsby).
