Entertaining enough

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 2003)

'Dirty Dancing' is a movie most people have probably seen. It is a movie a lot of people at least know by name and today that is a little hard to understand. Not that the movie is really bad, but good is something else. And it probably was a little dirty in 1987 but really shocking it was not.
The story about Baby (Jennifer Grey) who has to learn to dance to fill in for the Pregnant Penny (Cynthia Rhodes) and who falls in love with dance partner Johnny (Patrick Swayze) is very familiar. Of course she is from a rich family and Johnny is not so there are more problems on the road.
Although it does sound I didn't like this movie I have to say I was entertained. The dance scenes look pretty good and the simplicity of other things make it very easy to watch. I think most female audiences will like this movie very much, if you are not female there is a chance you will enjoy it as well.
