Dirty Dancing

Pros: The great Patrick Swayze and his chemistry with Jennifer Grey; good movie music
Cons: Corny, though I've seen cornier - see Step Up

Nobody puts Baby in a corner. That quote really summarizes this movie for me. Corny. Yet effective. Dirty Dancing, the small budget film that has become sort of a Star Wars for girls, isn't the type of film that you'd think would ...

Pros: VERY sensual!
Cons: Abortion topic, some hokey scenes

The first time I saw Dirty Dancing, it must have been 1987. I'd driven down to a friend's house in the Dallas area for Thanksgiving, if I recall. She had a bootleg copy of this movie that was supposed to have come from a theatre, but it was on VHS...

Pros: Great Dancing, Great Songs, Great Acting
Cons: None...

I wasn’t very old when Dirty Dancing first came out, okay I was 3, almost 4 years old and it is one of the first movies (not animated) that I actually remember watching. My Mother loved this movie and I was so small that I could watch it without ...

Pros: Mindless
Cons: Terrible movie - what makes it so popular?!?

When I heard about this write off I was so sure that I could come up with some type of worst movie. We all love to hate some film that was so terrible that you wish you had a time machine to get the 2 hours of your life back. I also figured that most of...

Pros: Choreography and Music
Cons: None to speak of

Plot: Baby is dragged to the Kellerman resort with her family and is bored out of her mind until she meets Johnny and decides to take dance lessons. Her older sister Lisa though seems to be enjoying herself and meets Robby who is a medical ...

Pros: Fun, Patrick Swayze in tight pants, sound track
Cons: Poor acting, directing, script, guys tend to not like it

....if the movie was a prime display of poor acting, so what if the directing was of no merit, so what if the story was cheesy.... I still loved Dirty Dancing as many people did, although, most of us won't admit it, and most that do, if not all,...

Pros: Lots of great dancing scenes; nice acting from old pros such as Jerry Orbach
Cons: Overly melodramatic storyline

To enjoy Dirty Dancing, you must be willing to swallow whole that, in 1963: 1. A doctor would give $250 (about $1,800 in today's dollars) to his teenage daughter, simply as a favor to her. 2. A group of teenagers whose dances are (let's face ...

Pros: entertaining and nostalgic
Cons: silly premise, some lackluster acting

For my fifth grade birthday slumber party, I had my mom rent two movies: Hairspray and Dirty Dancing. From what I remember, we watched Dirty Dancing once before we went to sleep, and again the next morning. Since that sleepover, I've...

Pros: Takes me back to a happy place of first-love, poor script is infinitely quotable, female bonding ritual, lovely Catskill Mtn. scenery
Cons: Script, acting, design and character development range from bad to irredeemable, inconsistent era music & clothes intensely distracting

Tonight, in exchange for me sitting through Caddyshack, my husband-to-be agreed to sit through Dirty Dancing with me. He had never seen it. He knew only that there was dancing. He is no longer speaking to me. He did mention...

Pros: great acting, good dancing, good plot, Patrick Swayze
Cons: Not for the action film fan..:o)

Ahhhh …Dirty Dancing Probably one of my all-time favourite movies. I have probably watched this more times than I can count. It came out in 1987, I was 10 heehee! I fell in love with this movie then and still love it today. I decided to pull...

Pros: Great Love story
Cons: None

And I owe it all to you. I love this movie it is one of my all time favorites. I like the music, the story, and the romanticism, all of it!!

The movie takes place at a summer retreat for the well to do, like doctors and lawyers set back in the...

Pros: Energetic dancing, good music, classic teen coming-of-age love story
Cons: Big 80's hair on guys and girls

I admit it--I am such a sucker for cheesy teeny bopper movies! From "The Breakfast Club" to "She's All That", I've seen them all. The greatest of these movies though, has to be "Dirty Dancing". Who doesn't know the classic love story of rough n'tough,...

Pros: Patrick Swayze's dancing, the writers' tackling of a sensitive subject
Cons: Plot holes you could drive a truck through

What makes this film notable, however, is not the dancing or any of the usual movie "frills." I was struck, while watching this film, with how easily I could talk over the issues this film brings up with my daughter!

No, it is not a great...

Pros: Good plot, good acting, good combination of drama and humor
Cons: Not enough close-ups of Patrick Swayze's butt.

About every six months I get the urge to watch this movie. Sure, it's on cable almost every weekend but c'mon, the edited version just doesn't cut it.

Whenever I talk about Dirty Dancing to my guy friends they roll their eyes and moan....

Pros: Classic 80's. Great sap scenes, tackles controversial issues.
Cons: If you consider when it was made, none. Even so I think it is great.

Okay, I admit it, I'm a sap. "Hello, my name is Guildencrantz and I love Dirty Dancing." My roommate nearly had a heart attack when I told him not to change the channel because I was watching Dirty Dancing. For those of you that don't know...
