Tex, I thought the same watching it, which I finally did just the other night.
It was SO silly, but it was fun, I laughed out loud several times. I'm looking forward to listening to the commentary. And Luke is looking particularly yummy in it too.
The flamenco scene had me in a small ball of cringy laughter! I'm grinning just thinking about that.

The flamenco dance sequence was indeed memorable. Made me wonder if Luke had any coaching as to how to perform it or if he just imitated it from watching flamenco dancers in past films, TV, and maybe even live observance.

I did listen to the commentary on that section - I think choreographers were mentioned (by Rob Reiner I think), and certainly they pointed out a couple of signature moves as being from, say, Michael Jackson, but I don't remember properly - and I also remember thinking that, in the bits of commentary I had listened to, an awful lot of stuff they came out with was pretty tongue in cheek, so I wouldn't be at all certain how serious they were being about the dancing! I must listen to the commentary properly, I was watching at 1am so I didn't stick with it, but the bits I listened to were quite amusing
