Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Dirty Dancing was a cultural phenomenon that now plays more like camp. That very campness, though, is part of its biggest charm. And if the dancing in the movie doesn't seem particularly "dirty" by today's standards--or 1987's--it does take place in an era (the early 60s) when it would have. Dirty Dancing spawned two successful soundtracks, a short-lived TV series and a stage musical. It may be predictable, but Grey and Swayze have chemistry, charisma and all the right moves. --Kathy Fennessy, Amazon.com

First and foremost Cocktail is a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, then a paper-thin Horatio Alger story of a young bartender with dreams of get-rich-quick. Success is notable only for Cruise's immense likeability in contrast to a creaky plot and thinly drawn characters. Despite its shortcomings, this is worthwhile viewing for Tom Cruise fans. --Robert Lane, Amazon.com

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not too dirty but a bit more dirt needed in the script!
Dirty Dancing is a movie that is hyped up to the limit. It is recognised as one of the best chick-flicks and has somehow entered the books as a classic that you simply have to see. With all this in mind I only got around to watching this movie a year ago and have since watched this three times, each time hoping to discover what it is that seems to make this movie special and unique but I am sorry to say that I fail to see what's so great about this movie.

The story is simple. Baby (Jennifer Grey) is on holidays with her parents. She meets local dance teacher Johnny (Patrick Swayze), she learns the passions of dance while also learning a few things about love and life at the same time.

Undoubtedly the best thing about ... Read More:

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Guys Review
This is definately a girls only film. As a guy i saw this and thought to myself, ok this is a film about a fairly unattractive couple getting it on and learning to dance. Sorry for the cynicism, but it was bland for me.

All my girl friends love it, but guys dont waste your time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - it is definitely a classic
i was only about twelve years old when i first watched this movie. my nephew and my niece were 7 and 9, respectively. we had then a laser copy of the movie and we would watch it every single day, several repeats per view. it was a favorite at that time, save for another one, the little mermaid...

the movie penetrates the heart. the story was simple yet superb. it is that type of movie that u feel u are a part of and not merely an audience.

i never realized that this movie would actually be a part of my interest in dancing many years later. i became an entertainment consultant of a popular dance club [ballroom] in the philippines in 2001. i had to be in close monitoring of the dance activities and the dance instructors ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 'YOU WILL BE HAVING YOUR VERY OWN TIME OF YOUR LIFE IF YOU BUY THIS MOVIE!!!
Having read all the review's i am left somewhat baffled to one reviewer in particular A 'Mr. M. J. Aylott "incrediblehunk" WHO CLEARY DOESNT KNOW HIS ASS FROM HIS ELBOW.. his review was just complete and utter tosh made no sense what so ever.. to those who have not seen the movie please pay total disregard to that review. guy was obviously reviewing the wrong film either that or he was high on something.. =op anyway back to the review, dirty dancing is about:-

A teenage girl learns about love, adult responsibility, and how to do The Dirty Boogie Woogie in this romantic drama. In 1963, "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is a 17-year-old spending the summer with her family at a resort hotel in the Catskills; she plans on being in the Peace Corps ... Read More:
