You Can't Help but Love It

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2020)

No list of must-see musicals would be complete without the most treasured romantic film of the 1980s, the one in which Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey set the new standard for sexiness. If you saw Grey-who is "Cabaret" Joel Grey's daughter, by the way-on the 2012 season of TV's "Dancing with the Stars," you know that she has not lost a thing in the quarter century that has passed since this film first touched romantic hearts all over America. Watch them dance to "The Time of My Life" as sung by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes" and sigh. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
