The acting talent make it just minorly watchable, but <em>'Shake It All About'</em> doesn't have much else going for it.

Danish and American viewers, among a couple of others according to <em>JustWatch</em>, seem to have this release openly available to watch, though here in the UK it is nowhere to be seen officially (unless you wanna fork out £28.98 for the DVD on Amazon 🥴)... probably for the best.
