	After the ball - www.theage.com.au
		Paul Mercurio: The Strictly Ballroom star is back in the spotlight with a role in the stage show The Full Monty.
		Since Ballroom, Mercurio has had mixed success, battling a tendency to be typecast by directors as a dancer, accepting roles in films that performed poorly and enduring long periods without acting work, paying the bills by working as a builder and selling computers.
		Mercurio is philosophical about some of the less successful projects that followed instead, such as Exit to Eden (1994), which was solidly panned by critics, but you sense that sometimes he still feels a little hard done by.

		A lifelong dancer whose inspiration sprang from watching the legendary moves of Elvis as a child, handsome actor/choreographer Paul Mercurio is the man responsible for the memorable moves in such films as Baz Luhrmann's 1992 breakthrough Strictly Ballroom and the 1999 dance drama Kick.
		A native of Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia, Mercurio's early viewing of Jailhouse Rock prompted an enrollment in ballet school, and his supporting mother would offer just the sort of encouragement needed to provide him with confidence in his abilities.
		Although Mercurio would view himself as something of an outsider at the Australian Ballet School of Melbourne, an offer from the Sydney Dance Company served as a bit of consolation, and the burgeoning dancer made friends with the city's social outcasts at a Darlinghurst cafe -- relationships that eventually resulted in his acclaimed Cafe dance.

		The story is hokey, predictable and full of movie cliches: A top-flight ballroom dancer (Paul Mercurio) gets creative and incorporates his own steps at a competition, which causes the stodgy folks in charge to go somewhat berserk.
		Soon, the frustrated Mercurio is approached by a beginner, a Plain Jane wallflower (Tara Morice) who has danced only with other girls up to this point.
		Mercurio is reluctant but soon they learn to work together and, of course, Morice gradually blossoms and becomes more attractive as the film progresses.

		I was one of the few who enjoyed the film for what it is. Anne Rice is my favorite author and this is one of my favorites of her novels.
		I was disappointed that the film was not very close to the book's essence, but given the material it would have had to be much more explicit to be so and it was not bad as a comedy.
		Paul is in for great things to come.

		Paul's mother-- beautifully and hysterically portrayed by Pat Thomson -- and his seemingly introverted, odd father -- a wonderfully giddy Barry Otto -- are perfectly realized, as are all the other roles, including Bill Hunter's terrifically change-resistant Barry Fife, president of the dance federation.

		Scott (Paul Mercurio) is a champion ballroom dancer who wants to dance "his own steps".
		Paul Mercurio is superb in the lead role as Scott Hastings, a sizzling dance talent torn between his - and his mother's - lifelong ambition to win the prestigious Pan-Pacific Dance Championship, and the subversive urge to dance his own original steps.
		Tara Morice plays his 'ugly duckling' dance partner Fran to perfection, his whimsical father is endearingly eccentric, and the entire cast of engaging characters never misses a beat.

	Strictly Ballroom Review Movie Review Film Strictly Ballroom: Paul Mercurio, Tara Morice, Bill Hunter, Pat Thompson, ...
		The film is essentially a fashion show put to a beat, but it proves itself as more than just a glorious wallow in stylish excess with its love-conquers-all story and themes that, despite their familiarity, feel as good as new.
		We see in the film's beginning, through a fanciful documentary-like series of interviews and dance events, that Scott dabbles in his own style, creating his own crowd-pleasing moves in spite of the disapproval of his mother and highly regarded judges, who consider his technique a threat to their "strictly ballroom" approach.
		Accompanying these attributes are young actors Mercurio and Morice, who sell us on the love story so well that its hard not to feel a sense of urgency when things look stormy for the two.
