The story plays out with an absolute minimum of dialogue, and the visual gags are highly inventive. In a comedy market dominated by crudity, sarcasm, and smug pop-culture references, laughs this pure hit like lightning.

Though they're quite gawky and freshly scrubbed in the classroom, on the dance floor they are sultry and suave, award-winning and unstoppable. That is, until a car accident robs them of two crucial faculties: Dom's memory and Fiona's leg. RUMBA follows the couple's hilarious, slapstick journey to overcome these not-so-minor obstacles and reclaim their rightful place as dance champions. [More]

Reviews for Rumba
It’s not terrifically funny, but then how could it be? The influence of Jacques Tati abides in the material, without his sunniness.
* If you've ever laughed at and revelled in the films of Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd or Jacques Tati, then Rumba will seem a delightful blast from the silent past.
A near-silent Belgian farce about a married pair of competitive Latin dancers whose lives go badly but amusingly awry, Rumba features plenty of fancy footwork.
