Summary: Good Movie...BETTER on DVD!!!!
Review: This movie is the BEST that it's ever been. The color, sound and quality are crisp and clean, especially the sound. There are great extras including music videos of "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", "She's Like The Wind", and "Hungry eyes",a Behind the Scenes, the trailer, the live in concert and a making of featurette. Watching this made me fall in love with Dirty Dancing all over again. Get this DVD, it is a great example of what a DVD should offer!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: From the 80's
Review: Dirty Dancing is one of my favorite movies. Its a lot like Grease. I don't know which one I like better. It has great songs, great acting, and great dancing. Thats probably why they named it Dirty DANCING. It is very fun to watch and you could never get sick of it. This is one movie that will live on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Future Release?
Review: I loved Dirty Dancing from the first time I saw it over a decade ago. This movie is what made Patrick Swayze hot for me (I was a teenager when it came out). I think what makes this movie so great is it's outstanding music. It makes you want to dance! I am puzzled, however, that it is in the future release section. I already own the Collector's Edition version and have for some time. At first I thought, "Oh great, they are re-releasing a DVD I already own and they're putting other neat stuff on it-something which seems to happen ALOT (I.e.: American Pie, The Mummy, Pretty Woman, etc..)." I'm happy to report that the copy I have is the same as the one being released in January, 2002. The behind the scenes "stuff" makes switching to DVD's a very smart decision, indeed.

Summary: My most favorite movie ever !
Review: This has to be the most beautiful love story I have ever seen.I have had the movie forever on VHS,but now I have it on DVD.This movie takes a young girl into the wilder side of life.There is a love scene in this movie to die for and it is not to graphic,but enough to make you wish you were there.The ending of this movie ends exactly like alove story should.Patrick Swayzee and Jennifer Gray would make me very,very happy to do a sequeal.

Summary: High Entertainment with lots of sex[y] energy!
Review: This movie is so fun, the dancing is just so enjoyable to watch and the love affair between actors Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey is so real. The way they moved together playfully but professionally was capitivating. The movie was mainly positive and upbeat except for the thread of social prejudice that comes between actors Patrick and Jennifer. The modern dances mixed with the older steps all blended so well together. I haven't seen a dance movie of this calibre in a long time. I saw Moulin Rouge but it just doesn't live up to this one. The visuals in Moulin Rouge are really stunning but Dirty Dancing has more chemistry between the two actors and the dance numbers just seem better to me! Well, needless to say, a must see!!

Summary: Jewish Middle Class seeks Summer Fun among "The Common"
Review: This film has much more to offer than what the title suggests. It is a social commentary about early 1960s middle class "snobs" who would visit resorts run by shrewd business men, where all of the "help" is there to entertain and amuse the spoiled brats from the city. -- Johnny (very credibly played by Patrick Swayzee) is the 20-something veteran to this "scene", the leader of a pack of singers & dancers at this "posh" resort. Enter another batch of "money folk", eager to have fun for a Summer Holiday. Everything would be as usual, only this year there are complications. The seemingly spoiled daughter of a Jewish doctor "Baby" (played by the newly discovered Jennifer Gray who was introduced the previous year in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off") and Johnny seem to be more than "dance partners". Unaware of the difficulties a relationship "between 2 different social classes" would bring, the couple continue seeing each other. -- There are a few "formula" situations built in to give a hint of a story line. The incredible sount track includes many big hits from the 60s (most noteworthy "Hey! Baby" by Bruce Channel and "Love Is Strange" by Mickey & Sylvia), as well as original music sung by Patrick Swayzee ("She's Like The Wind") and the Oscar Winner by Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes ("I've Had The Time Of My Life"). -- This was a surprise hit (like "La Bamba" was the year before), but all of the praise was justified. Although not quite 5-star material, I find this film very entertaining, especially due to its timeless message. ****

Summary: A REAL HUMAN FILM
Review: I love Dancing, and of course I always go to find everything talking about Dancing. I was very happy to see Dirty Dancing. I love Jonhny and Baby. They found the common happiness in Dancing. Baby helped Jonhny found the right way to see the life and do efforts to improve himself. The author insisted the equality and the love between people. If we passed a such Summer Holiday, it would be really the " Time of our Life".
The Music of the film is very sensible, no mistake. The music intended to Rock&Rohn. I am crazy with "Stay", shed tears with "The time of my Life" and feel in love with "Love is Strange".
Thanks Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey. Thanks film Producer(...)

Summary: She believe in him, and he believed in himself
Review: Dirty Dancing is a great movie!

Francis "Baby" Houseman and her family goes up to Kellerman's for the summer. Baby does not know that summer will change her life forever.

She meets dashing and good-looking Johnny Castle who catches her attention. He is a dancer instructor and the entertainment for the Kellerman's. At first, Johnny just think she is a kid and so does his other friends. Baby wins them all.

Johnny is someone who does not believe he can have anything unless he uses what he has because he thinks that is what he is capable of. Baby teaches him that he can be someone. Someone special. She sees another side to him that he realize he did not have.

Dirty Dancing is about Baby defining and showing everyone that she is an adult. Dirty Dancing is about Johnny believing in himself when he thought that no one did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie!!!!!
Review: This movie is a MUST for everyone who loves dancing and sixties music. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey are fantastic. Patrick is a professional dancer and Jennifer is a fast learner. The support actors are great too. The story takes place in 1963 at a Jewish resort. Baby (Grey) and her sister Lisa are the daughters of a very prominant doctor whose patient is the owner of the resort that they go to. The family gets one of the best suites that the owner has to offer. Baby is a rebel, yet she is loving and has a purpose. She is not afraid to be who she is meant to be. I am going to save the end for you, but here are my words: GO AND SEE THIS VIDEO. IT IS A MUST!!!!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: My Niece Made Me Do This One
Review: Okay, okay. I'll admit it. I kinda like this movie. I wouldn't of done it if my niece didn't make me. Anyways, here we go. Jennifer Grey(who doesn't look anything like her old self today)stars as Baby. Her parents and sister and her go to a nice resort up in the Catskills. There, Baby meets Johnny(Patrick Swayze). They begin a romance. I'm not being too insightful 'cause I haven't seen it in eons. There are some rather serious moments that deal with timely issues. Jerry Orbach from "Law And Order" plays Baby's father, and Kelly(Gilmore Girls)Bishop is her mother. I have to admit that the end climax is pretty fun and a memorable moment. The film has some nice set pieces and an outstanding soundtrack. I'm not ashamed to say that I have the soundtrack and have had it since it came out in 1987. The movie spawned a horrid spin-off T.V. series that, thanksfully, didn't last long. The acting on all fronts is pretty darn decent. You heard me. I said 'Darn'. It's a nice, little romantic drama that's pleasant entertainment.
