Cut to 25 years later, adult Bruce (Nick Frost) is overweight, romantically unfulfilled, and works at an engineering company with his {{Jerkass}} partner Drew (Chris O'Dowd). Then their new American boss Julia (Rashida Jones) arrives and Bruce is almost instantly attracted to her. When Bruce learns that Julia likes to salsa, Bruce sees a way in...but can he get back into top dancing form before Drew makes good on his promise to make Julia his latest conquest? With help from his younger sister Sam (Olivia Colman), former coach Ron ({{Ian McShane}}), and fellow salsa dancer Benjan (Kayvan Novak), Bruce might have a chance.
