Predictable!

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2006)

It might have been groundbreaking in its day but watching this movie in this day and age, everything seems so predictable. Patrick Swayze plays a dance teacher who comes into the lives of a holiday camping family when their youngest daughter falls in love with him. The daughter (a young lady referred to as Baby) becomes a woman during this course of this trip, as well as discovers parts of herself that she never knew existed when she takes the place of the indisposed dancing partner of Swayze's character. It's not a musical although there are very many recognisable tunes and numbers within the film because of its heavy dancing. The film, which is centered around coming-of-age and dancing also deals with abortion and jealousy.
