Description

Just as Lainey Berman (Rebecca De Mornay, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Risky Business) seems to have exhausted all hope that her husband will recover from a sustained coma, she finds that the strength of their love has the power to touch both the heart and head. The Berman's nightmare begins when Jay takes a dangerous fall and is hit on the head during an early morning run in the woods. Alive, but left virtually lifeless, Jay and his cash-strapped family endure one hopeless episode after another in what ends up being a cold lesson in the reality of health care economics. With Jay assigned to a depressing, second-rate rehabilitation center, it's up to Lainey to provide the nurturing and tireless effort needed to somehow create a miracle. Back home, she struggles to keep her family together. For support, she can only turn to her friend Alice, who is also facing her own domestic problems. This is more than a tale of a woman hoping for her soul mate's return. This is a story of families separating and coming together, of friendships, and of the strong bond that exists between two people that helps them get through difficult times, and in rare instances, helps them rediscover the gift of love. Based on the book by Elizabeth Berg.

This movie helps people get through hard times.......2002-05-02

I was attracted to this movie since I read "Range of Motion" by Elizabeth Berg. Watching Rebecca DeMornay (proving to be a great actress in this one) in this movie version lived up to the greatness of the book. Melanie Mayron (Melissa from the television show Thirtysomething) is her friend. This is a fantastic movie of quality. I have a similar incident where a family member is grasping on for life, and this movie (which I have watched a number of times) always helps me in hoping for the impossible to happen, and shows everyone that hoping is not the most foolish thing. Sometimes loving someone and believing in only the positive aspects of life...and what one has (as opposed to what one does not have) are the most rewarding qualities of life.

EXCELLENT WAY TO SHAKE THE POUNDS OFF.......2007-07-03

A friend recommended this DVD to me because I hated going to the gym but I needed to lose weight. The guy in charge, Joey, seems cool and so it didnt' feel lame to follow along like on a lot of other vids I've seen. I've lost 22 pounds so far thanks to diet and doing this workout and I highly recommend it. :)

Boring -- even for a non-dancer.......2007-04-18

I'm usually not one to write reviews, but I felt the need to share my opinion on this DVD since I have a whole library of workout videos. This one was painfully boring! There are two particular dance moves that you can default to if you get lost, and they are also used to link the separate dance sequences together. The problem is, you spend 2/3 of the workout doing only those two moves (which aren't very cardio-intensive anyway). You learn one new step, you go back to the defaults. You learn another step, you go back to the defaults. Then you link them together -- using defaults. I wish I could get my money back on this one. I was really disappointed. Try the Madonna Grimes dance videos if you want some more entertaining instruction.

totally fabulous!.......2006-09-22

I'm not a dancer by nature . . . as in rhythmically challenged and clumsy as all get out. I tried the dvd as a recommendation by a friend, and was happily surprised that I could follow along. Not only was I able to lose quite a few pounds doing the exercises and dance steps, but I've gained more confidence on the dancefloor. Joey's World Dance Groove dvd is ideal for those that are looking for a fun and productive way to get in shape and stay in shape.

Total Body Workout that fits into any schedule.......2006-06-25

In my busy lifestyle, I don't always have hours to dedicate towards exercise. What I like about Joey's World Dance Groove: Cardio Dance and Exotic Tone and Stretch is that I can get a total body workout in a timely fashion that is engaging, motivating and challenging.

I especially enjoy the exotic tone and stretch, which has helped increase my balance, core muscle strength, grace in movement and overall mind/body connection.

Smiling all the while I'm working-off those pounds! :-).......2006-06-24

A long-time friend suggested I check out this workout. She and I both had danced professionally (jazz, modern, ballet) for many years. Now, we're trying to stay in shape and have fun, but still want a challenging workout! I took her recommendation, and wasn't disappointed. Far from it! I'm hooked! Never having studied this style of dance and movement, I found Joey's teaching style very upbeat, positive, and engaging. Steps were broken-down, such that I could readily follow-along and mirror his movements. This is a great combination of aerobics, stretch, strength, and movement that carries you along on a exuberant "ride", accompanied by engaging music (that will have you smiling and dancing-along to the beat in your dreams)!
