Summary: My Favorite Movie Ever!!!
Review: This movie is my definsion of a classic!!! The dancing is only one reason to watch this movie, this movie is romantic, and it also shows me how lucky I am to be alive and young now, rather than back in the 60's. I think that this movie really shows a lot about what people did go through, and still do. This is an awesome movie, but I will warn you, this is a chick flick and a half...so if you are trying to get your husband or your boyfriend to watch it with you, don't let on what it is about before they watch it with you!!!

Summary: great 80's melodrama
Review: When I watched this again recently, it dawned on me that in 2003 I was looking back on 1987 looking back on the early 60s. In a surreal way, it is sappy, naively sexy, heart warming and complexly nostaligic.I think that Jennifer Grey is stunning, as I did in 1987. It is surprising to me that she didn't reach greater heights as a movie star. Patrick Swayze is at his peak of sexiness here, although I clearly remember being more impressed by his sensuality in 1987. The dancing is entertaining, but contrived. (I can almost hear the director scream "action!" at the beginning of each dance scene.) Even without the fun of the retrospective angle, this is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It has a moral. It gives a glipse of a different era and a different social scene. The good guys win. Boy gets girl - at least momentarily. Mom and Pop are happy with the resolution. My recommendation: see this movie once a decade so that you can look back on looking back on looking back. That's my plan.

Summary: Unbelivable!
Review: I have always loved this movie and when I decided to buy this DVD I didn't expect to get the movie, music videos, concert, how the movie was made and lots of other things! It is truly collector's edition.
The movie itself is a beautiful love story with a girl and a boy which we can all be. I think it wakes the best in us.
And one more important thing: after this movie you'll go to dancing lessons, definetly!

Summary: Brilliant DVD package to match the movie
Review: Finally, an 80's movie DVD with more than just a film trailor. This one disc is jam packed with lots of goodies to watch as well as an excellent movie. Also it has a booklet. The movie is romantic and well crafted. You can see how much blood and sweat went in to the two main parts of Jennifer's and Patrick's parts. They really played the best possible and it shows throughout the movie. The entire cast infact have invested so much energy that the movie glows, unlike so many other films where no one's heart was really in the production. The soundtrack is excellent; mixing vintage 50's/60's music with modern 80's songs - which really works. In total the movie, DVD features and even the box add up to a superbly made package.

Summary: Great fun.
Review: I just bought the movie on DVD and watched it for the first time in years and remembered all over again why I liked it so much.
A musical love story, much like Grease, the movie follows three weeks in the life of Frances "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) on vacation in the early 60's in the Catskills with her family.
Early on she is attracted to Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), the bad boy of the "entertainment" crew though to him she is just a nuisance. However, when his partner needs an abortion and has to drop out of an impotant dance, Baby sees the opportunity both to help and to get closer to Johnny. What follows is full of great dancing, lively songs and a feel good ending.
There are no great surprises to the story, it's bad boy meets, loses and regains good girl and everyone learns a lesson. However the charm of this movie lies in the great performances and chemistry between the two leads and to the great acting in the smaller supporting roles. This is what Hollywood does best and I'm not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it.

Summary: I've had the Time of My Life (watching this movie)
Review: Dirty Dancing showed two people in love that are totally different from each other. One was an upper class girl and the other was a man with no education. VERY INTERESTING!!! LOVED IT!!!!!

Summary: What was all the fuss about?!
Review: I've just watched "Dirty Dancing" for the very first time ever. I remember back in the days it was supposed to be hot! Well I was a bit dissappointed. Typical sleazy american love story, very little 'dirt' (if any) and okay dancing but great?! It's nothing like Saturday Night Fever or Dance With Me. This movie needed much more depth, wider story lines, more music and higher level choreography. Overall an okay movie for a sunday afternoon.

Summary: I wanna dance!!!
Review: It's starts as a cute story about Baby, who's name is really Francis, who is on holiday with her rich parents and her older sister. There she meets a dancer, Johnny, played by the handsome Patrick Swayze, and there's an imidiate attraction between them. When his dancepartner, Penny, gets pragnent, Baby sees this as her chance to "make the world a better place" and voluenteers to take the place as Johnny's partner in a dance contest. There's lots of hard work and dancing ahead, where Johnny is trying his best to learn Baby how do dance. But they represent two different social circles, Johnny's poor and Baby's rich, and that is meant to cause trouble... I don't know how many times I've watched this movie, but no matter how many times I'll watch it, I know I'll still love it and keep it among my favourites. Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze has a chemistry you will notice right away. It does look like they're having the time of their lives! And in addition, the music and the dancing will take your breath away!
I highly recommend it to everyone. One thing's for sure... I would love to learn how to dance like that!!!

Summary: See this movie!
Review: See this movie! If you're anything like me(a hopeless romantic)you'll never be the same again!I've had it on video for ten years and watch it as often as I can. I used to dance all throughout my childhood (tap, ballet, jazz, etc), but as soon as I saw this movie when I was 15, I switched to Latin-American dancing and it's been my profession ever since.The music and the love displayed in this movie really makes you want to get up and express yourself through dance. Patrick Swayze is a joy to watch. Throughout my entire career I have never seen a man dance as well as him. Any woman or girl who hasn't seen this movie will fall in love with it instantly, but I also believe it is good for men to see this movie to get a taste of what women really want -not just a hunky guy, but a man who can show his true feelings.
