Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
jonathanruano "Lambada" (1990) has a pretty laughable, hackneyed script. The story is also very predictable: Kevin 'Blade' Laird (Eddy Peck) is a high school teacher by day (a bit like Clark Kent) and then he turns into lambada dancing superman by night at the barrio dance club, "No Man's Land," and teaches poor Latino kids about mathematics and other subjects into the bargain (so that they can obtain their high school diplomas). But with all that said, a crazy part of me still liked this film. One reason is the really hot and sexy lambada dancing, against a backdrop of great 1980s music, that creates a lively and exciting atmosphere for a movie that would otherwise have been hamstrung by its poor script and inept plot. The second reason is that J. Eddie Peck (Keven 'Blade' Laird) and Melora Hardin (as his high school student Sandy Thomas) generate more chemistry and sparks together than the vast majority of couples do in the romantic comedies, including the recent "Friends with Benefits." To be sure, "Lambada" is not a profound film about the human condition in keeping with the tradition of the great romance films. But watching Peck and Hardin interact on screen does wonders for the libido (even if the high school teacher ultimately remains faithful to his wife), making "Lambada" surprisingly effective as an erotic film. The third reason why I liked this film is because all the so-called high school students, including Melora Hardin, look like they are in their twenties. As a result, the sexual tension building up between Kevin and Sandy does not look dirty at all. Overall a pretty entertaining movie. 6.5/10

entrapment27 It's a steamy hot movie especially for dance fans. After seeing this film, I wouldn't mind learning the Lambada from one of my teachers! It stars Kevin Laird , a Beverly hills teacher by day and a lambada dancer by night at the hot L.A. club No Man's Land where he teaches drop outs Beverly Hills math. But his Student Sandy knows nothing but his dance moves at the club.The movie really catches your attention from the get go but Sandy's crush tends to get a bit annoying especially when Kevin flat out rejects her advances over and over again. You start to feel sorry for the guy. But the dance scenes are the best and who can forget Sandy's sexy daydream. I wouldn't mind riding a motorcycle and a man at the same time! If you loved this movie, you'll love the soundtrack as well. It'll set the night on fire!
brokerbeck J. Eddie Peck smolders as Kevin Laird, a high school math teacher who lives in 2 worlds, the Beverly Hills school where he teaches and the east LA world where he came from. Delicious to watch, the dance scenes with the pulsing sexual undercurrents showcase J. Eddy Peck's attributes beautifully as does a voyeristic butt shot as he writes on the blackboard in front of his Beverly Hills class. The classic themes are all here: there are no bad kids they're just misunderstood (West Side Story), we have more in common that we have differences, acceptance of diversity, you can't judge a book by it's cover. This movie will entertain, it has music, dancing, competition, overcoming obstacles, family values and a happy ending. Great date movie.
