Summary: Brillient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Dirty Dancing is my all time favourate movie, I first saw it when I was about 5 years old(even though i shouldn't have done!), and later on I decided to buy it, It has a great story line which deals with very serious situations. Patrick Swayze is a brillient dancer and absalutely gorgeous!!!!!!! Jennifer Grey is also very good as Baby. I recomend this film to anyone who loves a good old fashioned love story or even if you don't your'll still love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dirty Dancing is the Time of Your Life
Review: I can watch this movie over and over again and I love it. Its like one of those movies or songs that an artist sings that you can never get tired of hearing, you know the one that you wake up and can't wait to put into the CD player, the same goes for this movie, you smile and feel good while your watching it and after you watch it. This movie is great!

Summary: Favorite all time movie
Review: Dirty Dancing is one of my all time favorite movies. The movie is about a bad boy named Johnny that is a dance instrucot at a resort. His dance parter, Penny, is pregnant and won't be able to perform their mombo act at another motel. There is a customer at the resort, named Baby, that is willing to learn the dance. While Johnny is teaching Baby the dance they fall in love. The night of the performance goes fairly well but while they are gone Penny gets into trouble. Baby goes and gets her father to help because he is a doctor. He helps Penny, but he told Baby to stay away from Johnny and Penny. Baby does not listen. Her and Johnny sneak around so that no one finds out about them. One day Johnny gets mad because Baby won't tell her father about them. Johnny is accused of stealing and Baby then sticks up for him so he won't be fired. He is fired anyways. Baby's dad gets really mad because she didn't listen to him. There is a show to end the season that Johnny was supposed to dance for. Instead the whole staff sings a song. Johnny then shows up and says te best line of the movie, "No one puts Baby in a corner." They then go and perform a dance and her dad realizes that he is not such a bad guy after all. He apologizes and tells Baby how wonderful she looked. I liked this movie because it is a love story. The dancing and music also adds a lot to it. Once you watch this movie you will fall in love with it.

Summary: Dirty Romancin
Review: I had this movie since it came out on video tape...Patrick Swayze is so fine in this movie..He is a dancer at a posh country club..He has a dance partner who gets herself "In Trouble", as they would say back in the day and he needs a temporary partner until she can get back on her feet from an abortion....So he gets a non dancin big nose girl to be his partner...He falls in love with her...But her father thinks Patrick is bad to the bone and not good enough for his daughter...

Summary: C'mon, who didn't like this movie?
Review: I consider this one of my "guilty pleasure" movies. It's just so darned good (even if it's a bit chessey)! I mean who cares if one of the best lines in the film is "Nobody puts Baby in a corner"? It's lines like that that make this movie great. Not to mention a wonderful soundtrack and some good old-fashioned dancin' by Mr. Swayze! I'm proud to say I love this movie!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 16:9 TV owners beware!
Review: Potential buyers should be aware that this DVD is NOT anamorphic, despite being in 1.85:1. So if, like me, you were looking forward to proper display on a 16:9 TV, you will be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Puke
Review: Okay, now you know my alltime unfavorite 80's movie. Sure its set in the early 60's - then tell me why the hell are they dancing to 80's songs? I almost shelved Patrick Swayze after this one but he was redeemed by Roadhouse. This movie could only be enjoyed by a pack of prepublescent girls at a slumber party who are wondering what its like to lose their virginity. And am I the only one who thinks that Jennifer Gray is a total dog? Sure she's got a hot body but that face! UGGG! That is the one thing that kept this movie from scorring with the guys in my opinion. Skip it, rent roadhouse instead. Better plot, better chicks!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kitten's Thought's on the Dirty Dancing
Review: I first saw bits and pieces of the movie but i fell in love with the movie. Then i could not figure out what the movie was called. So i spent about 6 months trying to figure out what it was called. So i finally figured it out and i went out and bought it. When i got home i put it in and watched the whole thing for the first time. It made me feel kind of mushy inside. Then i watched it over and over again. I must have watched it about 40 times that night. I think that it is the best movie i have ever watched in my life i havent yet found a better movie. I think that is the best movie in my whole house.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dirty Dancing
Review: When I first saw Dirty Dancing, I liked it, but I thought it wasn't great. I waited a while to see it again, and I wound up loving it. I guess Dirty Dancing is one of those films that really grows on you. The plot isn't anything much, but it's the music and the dancing that really make the movie. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray, while not really great actors, their chemistry here is undeniable. In fact, this is possibly the best performance that Jennifer Grey has ever given in a movie. Above all, I really recommend this movie to anyone who believes in true love, or loves to dance!

The film takes place in the summer of 1963 at a Jewish family resort in the Catskills. Francis "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is a young girl who wants to change the world. One night, Baby sneaks into a staff party and finds that the staff dances anything but the family fox trot. This where she meets Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze.) When Johnny's ex-girlfriend Penny (Cynthia Rhodes) gets pregnant and wants an abortion (illegal in those days) Baby is asked to dance with Johnny at a contest. This is where the real chemistry begins. But when Baby's father Jake (Jerry Orbach) finds out about the abortion, he tells Baby not to hang around with Johnny. But Baby doesn't listen listen, and soon finds the love of her life. Throughout the movie Baby learns that you can't change the world alone, and she finds her true love, while Johnny finds out about the kind of person he wants to be.

Overall Grade: A (10++)
