Summary: What a great movie...
Review: One of the best movies I have ever seen. I think I have almost wore out my DVD I play it so much. The dancing is great! It will make you want to take salsa lessons. I also love the underlying plot of learning people before judging them and to watch where you step as someone's toes are always there. I had had heard how terrible this movie was and so forth but I can say I think I like it better than the first. I love the first one but this one the music gets you moving and the romance between the two main characters is intense. I also loved the DANCING! They are great! The part with the movie is one of my favorite scenes it is romantic but not trashy. There is intense love for one another and that acting is superb as you get caught up in each one of the characters! If you watch this movie and enjoy the music the soundtrack is worth buying! The music is actually from the movie!

Summary: not the 80's anymore
Review: people try to compare this film to the 1987 dirty dancing and apart from Patrick Swayze being in both,there is no comparison.i love this film,it deals with issues from the 1950's,racism and social class as well as the cuban take on those american yankees using their country as some sort of country club hide away.Diego Luna is great in all his films and this movie is no exception,the dancing is hot and newcomer Romola Garai reminded me of a sweet teenage Cameron Diaz.if you havent seen this movie SEE IT TODAY!

Summary: UGH, What A Stinker.............
Review: This film deserves an award: A Razzie that is. What a complete waste of my money. I purchased this movie thinking that it would have some great dancing in it and possibly a nice love story, but I was sooooo wrong! The dancing fell flat,and the love story was dried up and boring. The two lead characters have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever, and their acting was the pits. This movie was very lame. I don't know how some people can say that it was better than the original dirty dancing. That is not true at all! The original is a classic! Great dancing and great storyline, which Havana Nights does NOT have!!!!! In fact, it's NOTHING like the original. I don't even know how it can even be called a sequel of it. The only bright spot of it, were the Patrick Swayze appearances, and some of the dancing was okay, but that's it, just "okay". Don't make the same mistake I did: please boycott this movie, unless you love Cuban dancing and music, but even there, the movie falls flat. Save your money......

Summary: Definitely better than the original
Review: This movie is great! It has good dancing and really enjoyable music. Those who thought that the original "Dirty Dancing" was good will enjoy this even more (I personally do not think much of the original) as the dancing is better - it's more sensual and fluid - and there is great chemistry between the two lead characters in this movie that was absolutely lacking in the original version!

The backdrop of this movie (the period just before the Cuban revolution) does not impact much upon the storyline other than being a convenient way for the show to end (and rather abruptly at that), but forget about it! What is there is enough for warrant it more than just one viewing. A definite must-watch for people who like dancing, good music and a little romance!
