Summary: Enjoyable!
Review: I saw Dirty Dancing a couple of times and it was a pretty enjoyable movie and I think Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey were both great. The movie is set in the summer in the early 1960's and stars Jennifer Grey as a sheltered 17 or 18 year old girl named Frances (nicknamed Baby) who travels with her family to a mountain resort where they have been going every summer for years but this summer she discovers some people doing a kind of sexy dance that she has never seen before and she decides she wants to learn the dance moves and she also falls for a dancer named Johnny played by Patrick Swayze who her father doesn't approve of so she has to keep their relationship and dance lessons a secret. A pretty good movie that I recommend to fans of Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze and also to fans of musical and dance movies. BTW: The rest of the cast is pretty good too and the movie has a great musical soundtrack!

Summary: Not very dirty dancing, but a great film.
Review: I had heard of this film but hadn't seen it until last year. And it has to be one, if not, my all time favourite film.
Baby (Jennifer Grey) is on vacation with her family. She is a typical Plain Jane, who stumbles upon the staff's area where they are dancing raunchily. Then along comes one of the dancers Johnny (Patrick Swayze). He doesn't like her, and when he has to teach her to dance with him he is not happy. But as the spend time together he sees that she is not that bad.
This has some really good music, such as 'I've had the time of my life', playing as the final dance sequence plays out.
A dazzling film with the added bonus of Patrick Swayze being really cute and having a really good body!

Summary: Deffinetly worth owning!
Review: 'Dirty Dancing' takes place in 1963 where Frances "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) goes to Kellerman's with her family for the summer. While she is there she meets the handsome dance instructor Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) while going for a walk one evening. When she discovers that Johnny's dance partner, Penny, is in need of an abortion and she can only have it if they can possibly find someone to fill in for her during a performance, Baby volunteers and she falls in love with the mysterious dancer, and she teaches him that there actually are people in this world who will stand up for other people and that the badness in life can be worked out.The DVD verison of this is amazing. The picture is very clear and it is widescreen so it is able to fit the new widescreen TV's. The sound is also very crisp and clear. The bonus features include: interviews; commentaries; a screen-test of Jennifer Grey; behind-the-scenes featurette; a theatrical trailer; music videos of "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", "Hungry Eyes", and "She's Like The Wind; biographies of the cast and crew; a trivia track; an Emile Ardolino tribute; and a sneak peak of the upcoming 'Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights'. The only thing that is odd about the Bonus material is that they have interviews and stuff on Jennifer Grey, but non on Patrick Swayze. This movie is great and the music is absolutly phenominal. If you love 'Dirty Dancing' I strongly suggest you get this DVD, because this is the best I've seen it viewed!

Summary: Patrick Swayze can turn me on anytime.....
Review: I may be 54 now but Patrick Swayze can still get my blood boiling hot and rushing madly through my old vascular system anytime! I have seen this movie at least 100 times. I know every line for every character, every action before it occurs --- yet I never grow tired of watching the movie nor listening to the music. I think I wore out my original music cassettes --- I played them over and over, for years. It brings back memories of gentler times...less complicated times...shortly before our innocence was violently stripped away forever. Until reading the reviews online, I didn't realize that my passion for this movie was shared by so many others. Many times in the past, I was embarrassed to admit my longtime "love affair" with "Dirty Dancing" --- it seemed almost juvenile, as if I hadn't "grown up" yet emotionally. The music and dancing are timeless...sensual, romantic, perfect foreplay...they can bring me out of the bluest blues instantly, or set sparks of love glowing inside quicker than anything else legally available. ;) Although "Dirty Dancing" may never be considered a classic like "Gone With the Wind," it's a definite must-see for every generation. Since I came of age in the 1960's, this movie will always be part of my growing-up years...despite the fact that I was about 37 or so when it first hit the wide screen. :) As for the music, there is no competition in my heart. Definitely 5 stars...DVD belongs in every movie and music lovers' collections, as well as in "time capsules" for future generations. ;) My only comment is that Jennifer Grey looked so much better before the plastic surgery on her nose. Her old nose gave her more character, more appeal...she'll never resemble "Baby" with that "new and improved" model.

Summary: Get Down & Dirty with A Great Looking DVD
Review: "Dirty Dancing" is a coming of age fable, set in the Catskills. It's the film that made Patrick Swayze a household word, shot Jennifer Grey to the top of the world and had the entire country singing 'I've Had the Time of My Life'. The film tells the story of 'Baby' (Grey), a naive rich kid who goes slumming on the wrong side of the tracks with Johnny, a poor dancer (Swayze). The wrinkle; Johnny's actually a great guy. The cast also features Jerry Orbach - as his usual stoic self, as 'Baby's father.
TRANSFER: A really nice update to the previously released DVD's. This one is anamorphically enhanced for widescreen television displays. Colors are fully satruated, rich and vibrant. Fine detail is beautifully rendered. There's a hint of film grain detected, as well as edge enhancement and the ever so slight hint of fine detail shimmering; but these are nothing to complain about. The soundtrack has also been remastered and cleaned up.
EXTRAS: Lots - but oddly enough, none of them include either interviews with Patrick Swayze, or other cast members even talking about his contribution to the film. It's like the movie happened without him! - Bizarre!!!
BOTTOM LINE: Have the time of your life all over again. Great fun for the whole family.

Summary: Iconic
Review: When it was released in 1987, Dirty Dancing was a cultural phenomenon, and it hasn't faded in spite of the fact that it's dated and that the dancing, never really, really dirty, doesn't seem dirty at all, by today's standards.
Patrick Swayze plays a dance instructor pretty-boy at the Catskills resort where Jennifer Grey is vacationing, as she's done every year, with her traditional family. They fall in love (or at least in lust), of course, and of course her father doesn't approve and sees to it that the guy is fired in order to denigrate him in the eyes of everyone and separate him from Grey.
All this is predictable enough, but Grey and Swayze have chemistry, and boy, do they put on some sexy moves with their dancing. If you've never seen it, you're in for a treat. Just put your cynicism and modern worldliness on hold and let yourself be sucked into the spirit of the film. Enjoy it.

Summary: A Rare Female Coming of Age Movie
Review: Notable because it falls into the unusual category of the female coming of age movie.
Cynthia Rhodes is a great dancer. Jennifer Grey is perfect as the female lead.
