Skip it—this is a well-trodden rom-com premise that mistakes a midlife crisis for romance, and the "wife as antagonist" angle feels dated and uncomfortable in retrospect. If you're craving something genuinely charming about dance or relationships, you've got better options tonight.

Plot

A bored estate lawyer spots a beautiful woman in the window of a ballroom dance studio. He secretly starts taking dancing lessons to be near her, and then over time discovers how much he loves dancing. His wife, meanwhile, has hired a private detective to find out why he has started coming home late smelling of perfume.
