I've been meaning to getting around to reviewing this movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2019)

If the movie doesn't grab you, the music certainly will. I was going to go into the story line, but why waste time with that, imdb spoiled that for you! It's a dance/romance film, iconic for the 80's, and by todays standards, its a decent retro look at how you can elevate a girl by holding her in the air like a trophy. I wouldn't really call that dancing. I think the story was silly, however, like most musicals ( and you can argue with me all you want, Dirty Dancing IS a musical) the film relies heavy on the soundtrack, and not the story. If you want to see a great movie with great music and great acting, find another musical to watch. If you want to see a great movie with great music and fun elements, Dirty Dancing is your cure to the fever.
