The Forbidden Dance

“LAMBADA...If it got any hotter, it wouldn't be dancing!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 67, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A rainforest princess goes to Los Angeles and discovers that a dance contest may be the answer to environmental destruction. Earnest activism and lambada fever collide in a wonderfully unlikely campaign strategy with the confidence of a much less confused movie.
