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: 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: 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: Chemistry; story; soundtrack
Cons: Minor flaws that don’t hurt the movie

SummaryA teenager (Jennifer Grey) and her family visit the Catskills hotel in the summer of 1963.  While she’s there, she meets a dance instructor (Patrick Swayze).  He teaches her to dance and sparks fly for the two 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: 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: 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: Good music, Good dancing, Moments of performance
Cons: Predictable plot, Pacing issues, Character sacrificed for "effect" (dancing).

"Dirty Dancing" came to me highly recommended from a most unlikely (in my mind) of sources. I remember my peers in middle school gushing over "Dirty Dancing" when I was a kid and all hoping that the older boys would come and grind with them. So, it ...

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: 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: Patrick Swayze in a tank top, great dancing, fantastic music.
Cons: Jane Brucker's singing

  Dirty Dancing is a really enjoyable movie that stars Jennifer Grey, when she was still cute and recognizable, and Patrick Swayze, back when he was in his prime. Even though the film was made in 1987, the story is a timeless one. A good girl ...

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: 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....
