Cha Cha Real Smooth

This is not a high rating Really bad story that latterly goes nowhere. It's not a feel good movie It's not a coming of age flick It's not a comedy and it's not good. Do yourself a massive favor and watch something that's worth your time - trust me this really isn't.

This movie falls way short. Mr. Raiff should focus on directing and writing movies but not acting in them or certainly not in the lead role. His performance and timing was quite grating. His voice also comes across as too immature for a character who was 22-23 years old.

It's a classic indie film and that's a plus in my book! It's a really nice story and it's perfectly directed, Cooper Raiff did an excellent job! There are some really joyful and humorous moments, really liked Raiff's sense of humour and there also some touching scenes, in particular the one where Raiff and Johnson talk about depression (I cried my eyes out during that scene)! Though I'd like to notify that there's a cringe dialogue between them in another scene later in the movie too! All in all, the movie is definitely worth watching if you love the combination of sentimental and funny!

I am insanely confused about the good reviews for this movie so I made an account to write this review..the main character is also the writer and director and you can definitely tell...his acting sucks with every scene looking and feeling awkward. I have no idea how he managed to get 3 A list actors to agree to be in this movie. Nothing is explained or makes sense literally every single scene is pointless. Pointless.

'Cha Cha Real Smooth' is a sweet, heart-warming everyday story... from an alternate universe. Copper Raiff is so focused on getting his feel good movie done no matter what that he forgets to make any of its characters belieavable. From the incredibly unrealistic dialogues to the behaviour of every character in the film, the whole ordeal feels like a Disney movie that's been stripped of any conflict or villain, leaving a bleak film that can not even display its message properly through an ensemble of such artificial characters. Even the portrayal of autism is so off it kills the whole purpose of the movie. Yes, if you can keep your head above the ocean of honey and syrup you can still see Copper's intention and even catch a glimpse of some decent directing here and there and a movie with a bigger production value that most of its kind, but eventualy you get engulfed by the stickiness of its atmosphere and every little praisable detail is taken from your field of view hidden under an overly mellow canvas.

This is a very heartwarming film. Cooper Raiff was very charming as the lead, and he literally carried this whole movie on his back. I was surprised to find out he was the director, producer, and editor in addition to being the lead actor. I also love Dakota Johnson's hot streak of delivering great back to back performances in The Lost Daughter and Cha Cha Real Smooth. This is currently my favorite movie of 2022.
