	Film Reviews & Movie Showtimes \| 'Hula Girls'
		Based on a true story—as are most of the movies in The Full Monty" club—"Hula Girls" takes place in 1965 in a small Japanese coal-mining town, where the locals and their families have worked the grimy shaft for a century.
		Lee bypasses a few plot points that could have been answered—such as why Madoka was cast out of Tokyo and the potential romantic entanglement between Madoka and Yojiro—but this matters little as the newly converted townspeople cheer the beautiful, infectious dances.
		Hula Girls (Unrated; 108 min.), directed by Lee Sang-il, written by Lee Sang-il and Daisuke Habara, photographed by Hideo Yamamoto and starring Yasuko Matsuyuki and Yu Aoi, opens Aug. 31 at Camera 12 in San Jose.

	Hula Girls Movie (2007) - Movie, Cast, Synopsis, Director, Crew
		Based on true story, HULA GIRLS is a heartwarming comedy about coal miners' daughter who take a once in a lifetime chance to escape their monotonous lives, and become unwitting heroes in their depressed mining town and the whole of Japan.
		The only problem is, no one knows how to do the dance, or even knows what the Hula is! In this hilariously touching comedy, the skepticism and conservation of the locals is gradually overcome as their daughters fall under the spell of one talented and determined dance instructor from the big city of Tokyo.
		This delightful film is based on a true story about how the Japanese viewed the Hula Dance in the 1960s and a group of girls taking a once-in-a-lifetime chance of breaking the monotony of their coal mining work to be professional hula dancers.

		Based on a true story, "Hula Girls" is a heartwarming comedy about coal miners' daughters who take a once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape their monotonous lives and become unwitting heroes in their depressed town and the whole of Japan.
		Problem is, no one knows how to do the dance, or even knows what the Hula is! The scepticism of the locals is gradually overcome when their daughters fall under the spell of a determined dance instructor from Tokyo.
		All this matters little however, when you consider that if the whole movie were to be screened with no audio, one would still be able to catch a good part of the emotions resonating from the screen.

	Hula Girls movie review - Film - Time Out Chicago
		Sort of a Japanese Dirty Dancing meets The Full Monty, this crowd-pleasing period piece—set during the Polynesian craze of the mid-’60s—has the residents of a dying coal town pinning their hopes on a new theme park and its swaying grass skirts.
		Alone among the villagers to embrace the scheme are a handful of teenage girls who see hula dancing as an attractive alternative to sorting chunks of coal underground.
		A chaste mash-up of Flashdance and Brassed Off, Hula is as cute and diverting as it is devoid of surprises (barring the revelation that bickering teenage girls in Japan call each other “numbnuts,” which could well be a translation error).

	Dare to Hula, Leave Your Shame at Home
		With all of these elements (sinewy arms, explosive personalities and the pure drama of yes, a hula competition) filmmaker Lisette Marie Flanary catches cinematic gold with this heartwarming documentary that captures all of the emotions that go hand in hand with hula.
		In 2006, she graduated as an 'olapa (dancer) under master hula teacher Patrick Makuakane in San Francisco and decided to head her own weekly hula dance class in a modern dance studio space where they don't get strange looks when they dance to the rhythm of their ipu.
		In this film, she wanted to dispel stereotypes of coconut bras and the "hoochie coochie" hula girl image that peppered the dreams of many colonizing minds.

	Movie-List: DVD: Hula Workout: For Weight Loss
		But it is an aerobic workout with little hula influence.
		I am no dancer but I was able to catch on to the hula workout after about two or three times I watched it, which does not deviate from the normal amount of time it takes for me to learn a new aerobic workout.
		I thought Hula would be graceful not cheesy and choppy.

	Styles & Steps - Hula (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Before European contact, men and women were members of separate halau hula (hula schools) that taught young dancers and performed for special occasions.
		Hula is not only a significant part of the Hawaiian culture; it’s also a fun, contemporary form of exercise.
		Different hula dances are performed at varying speeds, and once you’ve learned the basics, you can increase your workout by exploring faster, more intense movement combinations and rhythms.

	Under a Hula Moon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The movie has all the elements of the postmodern romp but with none of the effects, like an elaborate illusion: a flame that won't burn, water that won't wet, comedy that won't make you laugh.
		Even more worse than the movie's formulaic wackiness (it actually de-kitschifies kitsch, turning it back into a pumpkin) is the mindless brutality that sticks to the underside of the "plot" like shit to a shoe.
		I was deeply offended by the clumsy attempts to apply slapstick to Chris Penn's molestation of Emily Lloyd.

	Review: Banzai to 'Hula Girls' - Examiner.com
		Based on a true story, “Hula Girls” is about the plight of an impoverished town in Northern Japan, where the country’s largest coal mine closed its gates, creating mass unemployment.
		Lack of the right weather, flora, fauna and culture was not quite as daunting as the shortage of dancers for the main-attraction-to-be: a big hula show.
		In fact, the miners didn’t even know what on earth this “hula” thing was, but they didn’t reckon with the passion and ambition of young Kimiko (Yu Aoi), whose sudden purpose in life is to be just such a dancer.

		In a desperate attempt to save the local economy the town elders decide to cash in on the Polynesian craze that’s sweeping the world (the movie is set in 1965) and so they announce they’re building a Hawaiian theme park, complete with a hula dancing troupe.
		And once they import an alcoholic hula teacher from Tokyo who’s on the run from bad debts, things get worse as the respectable local women refuse to participate in “indecent” hula dancing and the only people who sign up for the classes are a handful of misfits.

	Hula gâru (2006)
		Viewers, even kumu hula and critics, shouldn't forget that this is a film about that Japanese interpretation - at that time, and not impose upon it the serious more cultural aspects a current movement in Hawaii is bringing back to the dance.
		In fact, the director of "Hula Garu" successfully gets away with this by making the film a comedy, and never trying to delve into the historical, religious, or other cultural dimensions of hula.
		Overall, this is a fun, enjoyable family movie which deserves to be seen on the big screen.

		As someone who is not impoverished or surrounded by constant murder, there's nothing I like more than seeing the suffering of those who are, along with the assurance that such a lifestyle is far away from me and all my cool stuff--like in Brazil.
		For the last few years, it has been thought that the only way to effectively communicate that your movie is a comedy is with a white poster and giant, goofy red lettering (like this one).
		The white emptiness suggests you are in a void where anything could happen (such as hilarity) and the rules of Earth do not apply (granting the ability for one actor may play multiple parts, with fat suits).

	The Hudsucker Proxy \| Movie Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		The premise is right out of Preston Sturges or Frank Capra: After Hudsucker kills himself, a wide-eyed bumbler, Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins), is plucked from the mailroom and installed in his place, with the idea that the company's stock will then fall low enough to allow the board to snap it up.
		In addition, the movie features a tough-cookie news reporter heroine (Jennifer Jason Leigh) straight out of a '30s newspaper comedy and enough babbly, overwrought dialogue to make the Clifford Odets of Sweet Smell of Success sound like a writer of haiku.
		The sequence showcasing the rise of the Hula Hoop craze (it's done as a mock '50s newsreel) is giddy fun; it breaks up the monotony of the film's Old Hollywood hermetism.
