Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) has her prim and proper life turned upside down after discovering her husband's affair in this British rom-com co-starring Timothy Spall.
When ‘Lady’ Sandra Abbott (Staunton) discovers that her husband of forty years is having an affair with her best friend, she seeks refuge with her estranged, bohemian, older sister Bif (Celia Imrie, Bridget Jones's Diary). Sandra couldn’t be more different to her outspoken, serial dating, free spirited sibling. But it turns out different is just what Sandra needs and she reluctantly lets Bif drag her along to her community dance class, where gradually she starts finding her feet... and romance.
There’s an inescapable sense of déjà vu in Finding Your Feet. Sure, it breezes by and there are smiles along the way, but the whole thing’s about as novel as an old pair of socks worn every winter. Cosy, familiar, warm and dependable, but lacking novelty or surprise.
Full reviewBitter sweet, with a pedigree English cast, Finding Your Feet may be predictable fare, but it has a heart of solid gold.

... is far from the worst of its kind, despite a mediocre script (by Meg Leonard and Nick Moorcroft) that goes for easy laughs and signals every plot development well in advance.

Unlikely to be hailed by anyone as a future classic. But it's a friendly and comfortable movie, recognisably human at least in spots.

That this sometimes paint-by-numbers approach doesn't result in a bland, uninspired facsimile is down to the charisma and chutzpah of its leading lights.

Charming, if somewhat predictable, crowd-pleaser about embracing life in your later years.
