      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Corny? There hasn't been a cornier romantic tear-jerker since Love Story. But John Avildsen's Slow Dancing in the Big City has the courage of its corniness, and its clichs aren't half-hearted. Rated: 3/4 Jun 16, 2018 Full Review Marina Hirsch Berkeley Barb Grant finds the heights of romance in slum living, investigative reporting and stricken ballerinas. Her movie's title, poetic in the newspaper ads, is just the first glob in a load of goo. Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
