Dances into our Hearts

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2004)

Is "Dirty Dancing" is a classic movie? I think so. "Dirty Dancing" is a film that will never be dated.
The movie is about a young woman named Baby (Jennifer Grey), who goes on a vacation with her family to a resort. While she is there, she meets a guy named Johnny (Patrick Swayze), a dance teacher along with his dance partner Penny (Cynthia Rhodes). Baby falls in love with Johnny and decides to fill in for Penny who is pregnant. Johnny falls in love with Baby, and they begin a relationship. Her father, however, does not approve and does his best to keep them apart. Johnny ends up getting fired because the owner of the resort thinks he steals from the guests. Johnny and Baby are torn apart. Does love conquer all?
This movie was to made to show that we cannot judge people on how they look and that love can change anything. Director Emile Ardolino did a fantastic job. Baby's father believed that Johnny was a punk because he looked like one, but Baby sets out to probe him wrong and does so. This shows that we really cannot judge a book by its cover, or a movie by its trailer. This theme shines through in this movie, because their love withstands everything and nothing tears them apart.
The movie is wonderful. It kept my attention while at the same time making me think about what may happen next. My favorite scene is when Johnny is teaching Baby how to dance and start to realize their feelings for one another. I can tell by the way they dance together and the look on their faces how much they care about each other. Nothing in this world can compare to that. The combination of dancing and sultry love pulls me in every time I watch it. If you are a guy, you may not like "Dirty Dancing," because it is a chick flick.
